1 The files in this directory may be used to perform common tasks that aren't
2 exactly `collectd's job. They may or may not require in-depth knowledge of RRD
3 files and/or `collectd's inner workings. Use at your own risk.
7 Before version 3.9.0 collectd used to create a different set of RRAs. The
8 most detailed of these old RRAs had a one minute resolution. This script can
9 be used to add three more RRAs: minimum, maximum and average with a ten second
10 resolution and 2200 rows (~6 hours). This will make hourly statistics much more
11 interesting. Please note that no sanity- checking whatsoever is performed. You
12 can seriously fuck up your RRD files if you don't know what you're doing.
16 This Python module by Adrian Perez implements the collectd network protocol
17 in pure Python. It currently supports to receive data and notifications from
22 This Python module by Clay Loveless provides an interface to collect's
27 This script by Vincent Stehlé will search for RRD files in
28 `/var/lib/collectd/' and generate an HTML file and a directory containing
29 several PNG files which are graphs of the RRD files found.
33 Sample CGI script that creates graphs on the fly. The Perl modules `RRDs'
34 (Debian package `librrds-perl'), `URI:Escape' (package liburi-perl),
35 `HTML::Entities' (package libhtml-parser-perl) and a CGI capable web server
36 (e.g. apache2 or boa) are needed. Simply install the script to a place where
37 the webserver will treat it as a CGI script (/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ by default) and
38 visit that page in a browser (http://localhost/cgi-bin/collection.cgi by
39 default). Please refer to your webserver's documentation for more details.
41 Starting with version 4, collection.cgi requires a small config file, which
42 should look something like this:
44 datadir: "/var/lib/collectd/rrd/"
45 libdir: "/usr/lib/collectd/"
49 Script to be used with the exec-plugin (see collectd-exec(5) for details)
50 which executes munin plugins, parses the output and translates it to a format
51 the exec-plugin understands. The features are limited - changing the munin
52 plugins to use the output format understood by the exec-plugin is recommended.
53 See the embedded POD documentation for more details:
54 $ perldoc contrib/exec-munin.px
58 Sample script for the exec plugin. Please refer to the documentation in the
59 file - you will have to adapt it to your needs anyway.
63 Creates a new RRD-file with only one data-source (DS) of the source-RRD-
64 file. That is very handy when you realise that you have bundled up DSes in one
65 RRD-file that should have been in multiple RRD-files instead. Is is used by
66 `migrate-3-4.px' to split up the cpu-, nfs-, swap-files and possibly others.
70 Example configuration file for the ‘GenericJMX’ Java plugin. Please read the
71 documentation at the beginning of the file for more details.
75 Migration-script to ease the switch from version 3 to version 4. Many
76 RRD-files are expected in a different place, some have been changed (DSes have
77 been renamed) and others have bee split up into multiple files. This script
78 prints a bash-script to STDOUT which should do most of the work for you. You
79 may still need to do some things by hand, read `README.migration' for more
84 Spec-file and affiliated files to build an RedHat RPM package of collectd.
88 Sample configuration for the SNMP plugin. This config includes a few standard
89 <Data ..> definitions that you can include in your own config using the
90 `Include' statement (available since version 4.2.0). The config includes some
91 data that is defined in the IF-MIB, e. g. octet or packet counters, UPS-MIB and
92 whatever people have send in. If you have some more definitions please send
93 them in, so others can profit from it.
