Overview

The configure_collectd_plugins module enables a collection of collectd configs that work well with SignalFx.

Module Description

Collectd is a system statistics collection daemon. This module configures the collectd plugins like cpu, df, disk, interface etc with appropriate values so that you can collect only the interesting statistics.

Once you have installed this module, you may proceed to install send_collectd_metrics puppet module from SignalFx to send metrics to SignalFx in one single and easy step.

Setup

Install the latest release of configure_collectd_plugins module from SignalFx using:

puppet module install signalfx/configure_collectd_plugins

What configure_collectd_plugins affects

The configure_collectd_plugins module configures the collectd so that it can only collect the system statistics. To be able to send data to SignalFx, please proceed on to the send_collectd_metrics puppet module from SignalFx.

It is recommended to include the install_collectd module before this module if you don't have any existing collectd on your systems to get the latest collectd from SignalFx repositories.

Usage

The configure_collectd_plugins takes a bunch of parameters which enable and disable the plugins. The default values to all the plugins are 'present'. You may change the value to 'absent' if you don't want any data to be collected by a plugin.

class { 'configure_collectd_plugins':
    log_file => present,
    aggregation => present,
    chain => present,
    cpu => present,
    cpufreq => present,
    df => present,
    load => present,
    memory => present,
    uptime => present,
    disk => present,
    interface => present,
    protocols => present,
    vmem => present
}
