[collectd] Including custom collectd conf without breaking definitions in parent conf

Hi, Over at https://apps.sematext.com/ we run a performance monitoring service that, in part, depends on Collectd. I am hoping somebody here can guide me in the right direction around the best way to add custom collectd.conf to an existing Collectd setup. When people set up our metrics agent we

Re: [collectd] Java plugin can't find our classes

Hi, For SPM (which makes use of Collectd, see http://sematext.com/spm/index.html) we developed a Java plugin for Collectd. We found so many Linux distros didn't include the Java bindings with Collectd package that we eventually dropped it. Otis -- Performance Monitoring -

[collectd] Bundling plugins (e.g. Plugin:Redis)

Hi, I'm trying to trace https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Redis . This plugin doesn't appear to be included in any Collectd package out there. But some others, like mysql or ngingx, seem to be included. In case of https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Redis - I actually don't

Re: [collectd] Patch for collecting global average CPU on linux boxes.

Hi Toni, Would it be better to issue a PR at https://github.com/collectd/collectdinstead? Q: why is this approach better than using the aggregate functionality? Thanks, Otis -- Performance Monitoring * Log Analytics * Search Analytics Solr Elasticsearch Support * http://sematext.com/ On Wed,

Re: [collectd] Metric manipulation plugins

Hi Pierre, I can't answer your Collectd-specific questions, but I'm wondering why block-based approach is needed? If Collectd outputs data every 10 seconds, for example, isn't the value written out every 10 seconds already aggregated in some way? Thanks, Otis -- Performance Monitoring * Log

[collectd] write_http behaviour on POST failure?

Hi, What does https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Write_HTTP do when the destination (there data is being POSTed) is either not up or returns a non-200 or times out or ... ? Is the data dropped and lost? Or is it written somewhere to be sent later? Thanks, Otis -- Performance Monitoring

Re: [collectd] write_http behaviour on POST failure?

Thanks Mark! Would it make sense to improve that plugin and let it fall-back to writing to disk, say by using one of the csv output plugins, in case of failure? Even if nothing in Collectd itself is able to pick up that data and re-send it at a later time, it would allow others to put things like

[collectd] Are metric values point in time snapshots or ....?

Hi, When Collectd emits metrics, say every 10 seconds, does it simply take a snapshot of various metric values at that point in time, or does it keep track of metric values during that 10 second interval and compute averages and such that it then emits? Thanks, Otis -- Monitoring * Alerting *
