I is an acronym for "database interface" in case you were +wondering about the name. You can configure how each column is to be +interpreted and the plugin will generate one or more data sets from each row +returned according to these rules. + +Because the plugin is very generic, the configuration is a little more complex +than those of other plugins.

The +query is then linked to the database with the B option I the +BDatabaseE> block. You can have any number of queries and databases +and you can also use the B statement to split up the configuration +file in multiple, smaller files. However, the BQueryE> block I +precede the BDatabaseE> blocks, because the file is interpreted from +top to bottom! + +The following is a complete list of options: + +=head3 B blocks + +Query blocks define I statements and how the returned data should be +interpreted. They are identified by the name that is given in the opening line +of the block. Thus the name needs to be unique. Other than that, the name is +not used in collectd. + +In each B block, there is one or more B blocks. B blocks +define which column holds which value or instance information. You can use +multiple B blocks to create multiple values from one returned row. This +is especially useful, when queries take a long time and sending almost the same +query again and again is not desirable. + +Example: + + + Statement "select station, temperature, humidity from environment" + + Type "temperature" + # InstancePrefix "foo" + InstancesFrom "station" + ValuesFrom "temperature" + + + Type "humidity" + InstancesFrom "station" + ValuesFrom "humidity" + + + +The following options are accepted: + +=over 4 + +=item B I + +Sets the statement that should be executed on the server. This is B +interpreted by collectd, but simply passed to the database server. Therefore, +the SQL dialect that's used depends on the server collectd is connected to. + +The query has to return at least two columns, one for the instance and one +value. You cannot omit the instance, even if the statement is guaranteed to +always return exactly one line. In that case, you can usually specify something +like this: + + Statement "SELECT \"instance\", COUNT(*) AS value FROM table" + +(That works with MySQL but may not be valid SQL according to the spec. If you +use a more strict database server, you may have to select from a dummy table or +something.) + +Please note that some databases, for example B, will fail if you +include a semicolon at the end of the statement. + +=item B I + +=item B I + +Only use this query for the specified database version. You can use these +options to provide multiple queries with the same name but with a slightly +different syntax. The plugin will use only those queries, where the specified +minimum and maximum versions fit the version of the database in use. + +The database version is determined by C, see the +L +for details. Basically, each part of the version is assumed to be in the range +from B<00> to B<99> and all dots are removed. So version "4.1.2" becomes +"40102", version "5.0.42" becomes "50042". + +B The plugin will use B matching queries, so if you specify +multiple queries with the same name and B ranges, weird stuff will +happen. Don't to it! A valid example would be something along these lines: + + MinVersion 40000 + MaxVersion 49999 + ... + MinVersion 50000 + MaxVersion 50099 + ... + MinVersion 50100 + # No maximum + +In the above example, there are three ranges that don't overlap.

See L for more +details on how types are defined. In short: A type is a predefined layout of +data and the number of values and type of values has to match the type +definition. + +If you specify "temperature" here, you need exactly one gauge column. If you +specify "if_octets", you will need two counter columns. See the B +setting below. + +There must be exactly one B option inside each B block. + +=item B I + +Prepends I to the type instance. If B (see below) is not +given, the string is simply copied. If B is given, I and +all strings returned in the appropriate columns are concatenated together, +separated by dashes I<("-")>. + +=item B I [I ...] + +Specifies the columns whose values will be used to create the "type-instance" +for each row. If you specify more than one column, the value of all columns +will be joined together with dashes I<("-")> as separation characters. + +The plugin itself does not check whether or not all built instances are +different. It's your responsibility to assure that each is unique. This is +especially true, if you do not specify B: B have to make +sure that only one row is returned in this case. + +If neither B nor B is given, the type-instance +will be empty. + +=item B I [I ...] + +Names the columns whose content is used as the actual data for the data sets +that are dispatched to the daemon. How many such columns you need is determined +by the B setting above. If you specify too many or not enough columns, +the plugin will complain about that and no data will be submitted to the +daemon. + +The actual data type in the columns is not that important. The plugin will +automatically cast the values to the right type if it know how to do that. So +it should be able to handle integer an floating point types, as well as strings +(if they include a number at the beginning). + +There must be at least one B option inside each B block. + +=back + +=head3 B blocks + +Database blocks define a connection to a database and which queries should be +sent to that database. Since the used "dbi" library can handle a wide variety +of databases, the configuration is very generic. If in doubt, refer to libdbi's +documentationE- we stick as close to the terminology used there. + +Each database needs a "name" as string argument in the starting tag of the +block.
