1 The files in this directory may be used to perform common tasks that aren't

3 files and/or `collectd's inner workings. Use at your own risk.
7 Before version 3.9.0 collectd used to create a different set of RRAs. The
8 most detailed of these old RRAs had a one minute resolution. This script can
9 be used to add three more RRAs: minimum, maximum and average with a ten second
10 resolution and 2200 rows (~6 hours). This will make hourly statistics much more
11 interesting. Please note that no sanity- checking whatsoever is performed. You
12 can seriously fuck up your RRD files if you don't know what you're doing.
17 This Python module by Adrian Perez implements the collectd network protocol
18 in pure Python. It currently supports to receive data and notifications from

29 This script by Vincent Stehlé will search for RRD files in
30 `/var/lib/collectd/' and generate an HTML file and a directory containing
31 several PNG files which are graphs of the RRD files found.
35 Sample CGI script that creates graphs on the fly. The Perl modules `RRDs'
36 (Debian package `librrds-perl'), `URI:Escape' (package liburi-perl),
37 `HTML::Entities' (package libhtml-parser-perl) and a CGI capable web server
38 (e.g. apache2 or boa) are needed. Simply install the script to a place where
39 the webserver will treat it as a CGI script (/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ by default) and
40 visit that page in a browser (http://localhost/cgi-bin/collection.cgi by
41 default). Please refer to your webserver's documentation for more details.
43 Starting with version 4, collection.cgi requires a small config file, which
44 should look something like this:
46 datadir: "/var/lib/collectd/rrd/"
47 libdir: "/usr/lib/collectd/"
51 Script to be used with the exec-plugin (see collectd-exec(5) for details)
52 which executes munin plugins, parses the output and translates it to a format
53 the exec-plugin understands. The features are limited - changing the munin
54 plugins to use the output format understood by the exec-plugin is recommended.
55 See the embedded POD documentation for more details:
56 $ perldoc contrib/exec-munin.px
60 Sample script for the exec plugin. Please refer to the documentation in the
61 file - you will have to adapt it to your needs anyway.
65 Creates a new RRD-file with only one data-source (DS) of the source-RRD-
66 file. That is very handy when you realise that you have bundled up DSes in one
67 RRD-file that should have been in multiple RRD-files instead. Is is used by
68 `migrate-3-4.px' to split up the cpu-, nfs-, swap-files and possibly others.
72 Init-script and Spec-file that can be used when creating RPM-packages for
77 Migration-script to ease the switch from version 3 to version 4. Many
78 RRD-files are expected in a different place, some have been changed (DSes have
79 been renamed) and others have bee split up into multiple files. This script
80 prints a bash-script to STDOUT which should do most of the work for you. You
81 may still need to do some things by hand, read `README.migration' for more
86 Spec-file and affiliated files to build an RedHat RPM package of collectd.
90 Sample configuration for the SNMP plugin. This config includes a few standard
91 <Data ..> definitions that you can include in your own config using the
92 `Include' statement (available since version 4.2.0). The config includes some
93 data that is defined in the IF-MIB, e. g. octet or packet counters, UPS-MIB and
94 whatever people have send in. If you have some more definitions please send
95 them in, so others can profit from it.
