JFYI,
I’ve changed the configuration to run one collectd instance for each source
address, and add the source-address to the metric name by use of
chains/filters. Like this:
Include "collectd-tb-ping-general-config"
<Plugin ping>
SourceAddress "10.2.1.1"
Host "10.1.2.1"
Host "10.1.3.1"
Host "10.1.4.1"
Host "10.1.5.1"
Host "10.8.6.1"
Host "10.1.6.1"
Host "10.1.7.1"
Host "10.1.8.1"
Host "10.1.9.1"
Host "10.1.10.1"
Host "10.80.88.1"
Host "10.81.88.1"
Host "10.30.42.1"
Host "10.31.42.1"
Host "10.20.30.1"
</Plugin>
PreCacheChain "ping_rewrite"
LoadPlugin match_regex
LoadPlugin target_set
<Chain "ping_rewrite">
<Rule "set_plugin_instance">
<Match "regex">
Plugin "ping"
</Match>
<Target "set">
PluginInstance "src.10.2.1.1"
</Target>
Target "write"
</Rule>
</Chain>
Best rgds
