Collectd module for Puppet

Description

Puppet module for configuring collectd and plugins.

Supported Platforms

  • Debian
  • Solaris
  • Redhat

Usage

The simplest use case is to use all of the configurations in the default collectd.conf file shipped with collectd. This can be done by simply including the class:

include collectd

Collectd is most useful when configured with customized plugins. This is accomplished by removing the default collectd.conf file and replacing it with a file that includes all alternative configurations. Configure a node with the following class declaration:

class { '::collectd': purge => true, recurse => true, purge_config => true, }

Set purge, recurse, and purge_config to true in order to override the default configurations shipped in collectd.conf and use custom configurations stored in conf.d. From here you can set up additional plugins as shown below.

Simple Plugins

Example of how to load plugins with no additional configuration:

collectd::plugin { 'battery': }

where 'battery' is the name of the plugin.

Additional Plugins

Some non-default plugins are shipped with this module. Configure these plugins with, for example

class { 'collectd::plugin::df': mountpoints => ['/u'], fstypes => ['nfs','tmpfs','autofs','gpfs','proc','devpts'], ignoreselected => 'true', }

Parameters will vary widely between plugins. See the collectd documentation for each plugin for configurable attributes.
