= DESCRIPTION: Configure and install the collectd[http://collectd.org/] monitoring daemon. = REQUIREMENTS: This cookbook has only been tested on Ubuntu 10.04. To use the collectd_web recipe you need the apache2[https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/tree/master/apache2] cookbook. The collectd_plugins cookbook is not required, but provides many common plugin definitions for easy reuse. = ATTRIBUTES: * collectd.basedir - Base folder for collectd output data. * collectd.plugin_dir - Base folder to find plugins. * collectd.types_db - Array of files to read graph type information from. * collectd.interval - Time period in seconds to wait between data reads. * collectd.collectd_web.path - Location to install collectd_web to. Defaults to /srv/collectd_web. * collectd.collectd_web.hostname - Server name to use for collectd_web Apache site. = USAGE: Three main recipes are provided: * collectd - Install a standalone daemon. * collectd::client - Install collectd and configure it to send data to a server. * collectd::server - Install collectd and configure it to recieve data from clients. The client recipe will use the search index to automatically locate the server hosts, so no manual configuration is required. == Defines: Several defines are provided to simplfy configuring plugins === collectd_plugin: The +collectd_plugin+ define configures and enables standard collect plugins. Example: collectd_plugin "interface" do options :interface=>"lo", :ignore_selected=>true end The options hash is converted to collectd-style settings automatically. Any symbol key will be converted to camel-case. In the above example :ignore_selected will be output as the key "IgnoreSelected". If the key is already a string, this conversion is skipped. If the value is an array, it will be output as a separate line for each element. === collectd_python_plugin: The +collectd_python_plugin+ define configures and enables Python plugins using the collectd-python plugin. Example: collectd_python_plugin "redis" do options :host=>servers, :verbose=>true end Options are interpreted in the same way as with +collectd_plugin+. This define will not deploy the plugin script as well, so be sure to setup a cookbook_file resource or other mechanism to handle distribution. Example: cookbook_file File.join(node[:collectd][:plugin_dir], "redis.py") do owner "root" group "root" mode "644" end == Web frontend: The +collectd::collectd_web+ recipe will automatically deploy the collectd_web[https://github.com/httpdss/collectd-web] frontend using Apache. The apache2[https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/tree/master/apache2] cookbook is required for this and is *not* included automatically as this is an optional component, so be sure to configure the node with the correct recipes. = LICENSE & AUTHOR: Author:: Noah Kantrowitz (<nkantrowitz@crypticstudios.com>) Copyright:: 2010, Atari, Inc Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
