SYNOPSIS

<LoadBackend "collectd::unixsock">
    Interval 60
</LoadBackend>

<Backend "collectd::unixsock">
    <Instance "collector">
        Socket "/var/run/collectd-unixsock"

        TimeseriesBaseURL "/var/lib/collectd/rrd"
    </Instance>

DESCRIPTION

collectd::unixsock is a backend module which queries the system statistics collection daemon collectd using its unixsock interface. It connects to the daemon and periodically queries all hosts and metric names.

CONFIGURATION

collectd::unixsock accepts the following configuration options:

Instance <name>

An instance block specifies a connection to collectd. The specified <name> is used to identify the connection internally but otherwise has no special meaning.
An instance block accepts the following configuration options:

Socket <path>: The path name of the UNIX domain socket provided by collectd’s unixsock plugin.
TimeseriesBackend <type>: The data-store type to be used to query time-series information of a metric. This setting relates to a collectd writer plugin. The data-store needs to be accessible from SysDB and the type needs to be supported by SysDB (through an appropriate time-series fetcher plugin like, for example, timeseries::rrdtool).
TimeseriesBaseURL <url>: The base URL for time-series data. This may be a path-name or a network address depending on the time-series backend type.
