3 collectd.conf - Configuration for the system statistics collection daemon B<collectd>
9 PIDFile /path/to/pidfile/collectd.pid
10 LogFile /path/to/logfile/collectd.log
11 Server 123.123.123.123
25 The syntax of collectd's config file is similar to the config file of the famos
26 I<Apache Webserver>. Each line either ... FIXME
30 The available options.. Blah blah blah
36 =item B<Mode> (B<Local>|B<Client>|B<Server>)
38 Sets the operating mode. See the section B<MODES> in L<collectd(1)> for a
39 description. This option determines which other options are allowed.
41 =item B<LoadPlugin> I<Plugin>
43 Loads the plugin I<Plugin>. There must be at least one such line or B<collectd>
44 will be mostly useless. The names of the plugins are listed in L<collectd(1)>.
46 =item B<PIDFile> I<File>
48 Sets where to write the PID file to. This file is overwritten when it exists
49 and deleted when the program ist stopped. Available in B<all modes>.
51 =item B<DataDir> I<Directory>
53 Sets the data directory. This is the directory beneath all RRD-files are
54 created. Possibly more subdirectories are created. This is also the working
55 directory for the daemon. Available in B<all modes>, though the B<Server> mode
56 won't write to this directory.
58 =item B<LogFile> I<File>
60 Sets the file to write debugging output to. This is only used if compiled with
61 debugging enabled. It's ignored otherwise. Available in B<all modes>.
63 =item B<Server> I<Hostname or IP-address>
65 The server to send data to. B<This is not yet implemented!> Maybe a better name
66 for this was B<Receiver>, since I plan on detecting multicast groups
67 automatically. On the other hand a extra MulticastGroup-option would be of
68 interest for the server process. Anyhow, right now this is available for the
71 =item B<Port> I<Port number>
73 (UDP-)Port to send packages to or to bind to and wait for packages. This option
74 is available in the B<Client> and B<Server> mode.
86 =item B<Host> I<Hostname or IP-address>
88 Host to ping periodically. This option may be repeated several times to ping
