I would just use the exec plugin (https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Exec) for something like this. Basically you need to decide if it is a counter, gauge or derivative, then adjust the output. while(true) do echo "PUTVAL \”${hostname}/sensor-${instance}/gauge-${label}\" interval=$COLLECTD_INTERVAL N:${recorded_value}” sleep $COLLECTD_INTERVAL done do you know what the value data is? 25600 seems a high input temperature. What is the scale? _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
