Re: [collectd] Collectd complex perl plugin question ...
Hi,

However, you could simple skip a couple of intervals in the read
callback function. I.e., use a global variable (for each instance of the
callback) to count down the number of intervals to be skipped. Make sure
to return 0 in case you skip the current interval. Then, manually set
the interval appropriately when dispatching values.
Here's my two cents of what I have in all my perl plugins to handle the
Interval config option:
--
package Collectd::Plugins::Mine;
use Collectd qw( :all );
my $interval = $interval_g;
my $hostname = $hostname_g;
my $last_ts = time();
[...]
sub my_config {
for my $child (@{$_[0] - {children}}) {
if ($child - {key} eq Interval) {
$interval = $child - {values} - [0];
[...]
sub my_get {
my $ts = time;
return 1 if ($ts $interval + $last_ts);
[...]
plugin_dispatch_values(...);
[...]
$last_ts = $ts;
return 1;
}

Yes I scratched my head quite a bit on that one :-) The BaseName/LoadPlugin directive will select the right perl Module.

Re: [collectd] New aggregator plugin basic_aggregator (#136)
Hi, Adding a configuration reload is an excellent idea, and is one of the big missing features of collectd IMHO. I quite agree with Lindsay's remarks: there should simply be a warning for the plugins that don't support reconfiguration. On the other hand, maybe there should be the option to restart the thread, if it doesn't register the cb. just my 2 euros Cheers ___ collectd mailing list collectd@verplant.org http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd

Re: [collectd] Modbus plugin seems to read garbage values
Hi, On Fri, Oct 12, 2012 at 05:30:32PM +0200, Gerry Demaret wrote: I've been playing with the modbus plugin to read the values from a Schneider Electric PowerLogic EGX100. I'm using Debian testing which has collectd 5.1. Are you sure the device is sending correct values? We've got an EGX400, and it's been a real PITA ever since we've comissioned it. We ended up writing our own plugin retrieving the data via ftp/http from the box. Then again, I've never used float type for registers, but I guess you've already played with that, as the EGX100 user guide seems rather sparse on this matter. Anyway, if it's just a matter of linear transformation, you could use the scale target plugin. Your config looks fine to me - Cheers ___ collectd mailing list collectd@verplant.org http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd

Hi, On Thu, Feb 07, 2013 at 01:33:19PM +0100, Frédéric Pégé wrote: The load values are returned in 3 different values under the same item. load/load. Values are longterm, shortterm and midterm. And I'm ok with that. Just my two cents on loadavg: IMHO it's totally useless to keep anything else than shortterm, if you're using some kind of historization like rrdtool, as you'll get the two others for free. midterm/longterm are only useful when no history is available, e.g. from the command line, or if you're using some kind of realtime visualization. Do you have an explanation for these different ways ? Anyways, back to your real question: The reason for the differences is purely historical. The tendency is to move away from multiple datasources (like load, if_octets, etc.) and use only simple datasources, like gauge, cpu, etc. Maybe this will happen in collectd 6, if two wisely chosen guys have the courage to do so ;-) ___ collectd mailing list collectd@verplant.org http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd

Always only the first database is handled. Am I doing something wrong, or is collectd simply unable to handle two (or more) mysql servers? I think the 'Database' directive *in* the block overrides the name in the 'Database' *definition*. This means that in your example, `sqlone` and `sqltwo` are both being overridden by `mysql`, thus yielding the error message. I remember banging my head on a hard surface too when trying to achieve the same goal. If I were you, I'd simply drop the `Database mysql` from your example, and it should work as-is. ___ collectd mailing list collectd@verplant.org http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd

I have two issues with collectd and SNMP plugin.

That seems odd becase if I run the following snmpwalk -v2c -c public $HOSTNAME IF-MIB::ifInOctets I get back the expected values. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. The above works for my Cisco kit, works via snmpwalk. The second issue I have and of much less importance is that on my Cisco switch the above data block only brings back one VLAN. On my Cisco Router all VLAN's are brought back. Unsure why my switch won't get all the VLANS, all physical switchports are fine. Can someone give me a hand ?
