collectd_plugins cookbook

Application cookbook which configures collectd plugins.

Basic Usage

The default recipe installs the collectd daemon and configures the following plugins on the node.

1. syslog
2. cpu
3. df
4. interface
5. memory
6. swap
7. load
8. statsd
9. unixsock
10. uptime

Advanced Configuration

A wrapper cookbook can easily be used to fine tune specific settings for any of the individual plugin recipes. For example, if you wanted to simply change the syslog level you can do so from a wrapper recipe.

node.default['collectd-plugins']['syslog']['log_level'] = 'warn'
include_recipe 'collectd_plugins::default'
