Collectd

Collectd is a simple monitoring client which can be installed on most Linux systems. To simplify the setup, we provide a configuration file for you to use.
Installing and configuring collectd
  1. 1.
    Install collectd on your system. It’s usually available via your normal package manager, e.g. apt-get install collectd
  2. 2.
    From the Hosted Graphite Add-ons page, select collectd and download the appropriate configuration file. Version 5.4 works with most versions of collectd
  3. 3.
    Copy the downloaded configuration file to /etc/collect/collectd.conf. If you want to keep the original configuration file, rename it to collectd.conf.old
  4. 4.
    Restart collectd so that it uses the new configuration file: sudo service collectd restart
Generating and viewing the collectd dashboard
Once collectd is up and running, you can automatically generate a dashboard from our dashboard library. Go to the Add-ons page and scroll down to the Dashboards section.
The Dashboard Librayr Panel
On that panel select the collectd version you want to make a dashboard for and click the button, a dashboard will immediately be available for your collectd metrics. For details on how to manually configure collectd, see our collectd doc in our Add-Ons and Integrations Guide.
