Are you using only the SNMP plugin? . Are you using other collectd plugins? Collectd will send to carbon->whisper->graphite-web. You will want to replace the values before sending off to carbon. Replace does work, but again, it depends on what name structure you have now and what you want it to be. The screenshot only shows the top level directory, i.e. the hostnames. It would be helpful to see the subdirectories under a hostname. The target_replace examples are scarce. I have a simple setup using the CPU and Interface plugin, with the CSV plugin for output to a local directory. Before: └── localhost ├── cpu └── interface-eth0 I put the following test configuration in place, which replaces my 'localhost' hostname with a different host name, 'all_hosts': LoadPlugin match_regex LoadPlugin target_replace <Chain "PreCache"> <Rule "change_hostname"> <Match "regex"> Host "^localhost.*" </Match> <Target "replace"> Host "\\<localhost" "all_hosts" </Target> </Rule> Target "write" </Chain> # This should be default, but putting in for backwards compatibility <Chain "PostCache"> Target "write" </Chain> After: . ├── all_hosts │ ├── cpu │ └── interface-eth0 └── localhost ├── cpu └── interface-eth0 The idea here is to replace the values before they make it into the global cache. Hope that helps. Giovanni
