Usage

To use collectd-ceilometer-plugin in collectd:

Python plugin must be enabled in collectd

collectd must be started
(ex: systemctl start collectd)

local.conf settings

CEILOMETER_TIMEOUT

Sets the ceilometer's request timeout. The value is passed in milliseconds.

Default: 1000 i.e. 1 sec.

COLLECTD_ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES

Specify additional packages to be installed before collectd is built/installed. This is useful when building collectd from source it will make sure the packages are installed. Collectd plugins are automatically installed/built if requirements are met, so there is no need for manual installation. A space separates packages.

Example: COLLECTD_ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES="package1 package2 package3"

COLLECTD_AODH_ENABLED

(True|False) Toggles whether collectd-aodh-plugin is enabled.

Default: False

COLLECTD_AODH_SEVERITIES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ("meter" severity) a comma seperated list of pairs, defining meters and the severity of the alarms they will trigger if their value goes above a certain threshold. The meter is generally in the form of "plugin.type" where plugin and plugin type are attributes of the collectd data. There are three severity options available "low", "moderate" and "critical". If this configuration option is left unset for any alarm the default severity is "moderate".

Example: COLLECTD_AODH_SEVERITIES='"<meter>" <severity>, "<meter>" <severity>'

COLLECTD_AODH_VERBOSE

(True|False) Set this to True to make collectd-aodh debugging messages visible as info messages. This is useful when running the plugin inside a collectd compiled without debug message support.

Default: $COLLECTD_CEILOMETER_VERBOSE

COLLECTD_BATCH_SIZE

Set the amount of samples to be buffered before sending.

Default: 1 i.e. no batching/buffering.

COLLECTD_BRANCH

(<git branch>) Indicates which branch of collectd to checkout before compiling.

Default: collectd-5.7

COLLECTD_CEILOMETER_ENABLED

(True|False) Toggle whether collectd-ceilometer-plugin is enabled.

Default: False

COLLECTD_CONF_DIR

(directory) Specify a directory where collectd conf files reside. This is required if you use a distro other than Ubuntu or Fedora, or if the config file is in a non default location. This config directory will be created if it doesn't already exist.

Default: /etc/collectd/collectd.conf.d (Ubuntu) /etc/collectd.d (Fedora)

COLLECTD_DIR

(directory) Destination of the cloned collectd source code.

Default: $DEST/collectd-$COLLECTD_BRANCH/

COLLECTD_GNOCCHI_CUSTOM_UNITS

(meter=unit) a comma seperated list of pairs, defining meters and their units. Allows existing units to be changed and new units to be set for new meters. The "meter" is generally in the form of "plugin.type", where plugin and plugin type are attributes of the collectd data.

Example: COLLECTD_GNOCCHI_CUSTOM_UNITS="<meter> <unit>,<meter> <unit>"

COLLECTD_GNOCCHI_ENABLED

(True|False) Toggles whether collectd-gnocchi-plugin is enabled.

Default: True

COLLECTD_GNOCCHI_VERBOSE

(True|False) Set this to True to make collectd-gnocchi debugging messages visible as info messages. This is useful when running the plugin inside a collectd compiled without debug message support.

Default: False

COLLECTD_INSTALL

(True|False) Indicates whether to install collectd. Set this to False if you are running a pre-built version of collectd or do not want to upgrade installed version.

Default: True

COLLECTD_INSTALL_TYPE

(source|binary) Specify whether the collectd installation should use the package manager or install from source.

COLLECTD_REPO

Default: https://github.com/collectd/collectd.git

LIBVIRT_METER_ENABLED

(True|False) HostnameFormat needs to be set to UUID so that VMs can be tracked across migrations and across multi-host deployments. This is important if you want to use the network plugin, and only run collectd-{gnocchi,aodh} on the "collectd server", as we query nova on the local node that is being monitored, to map instance name to UUID. You can enable the collectd virt plugin when setting up a multi-node deployment, which will do this.

Default: False

MULTI_NODE_DEPLOYMENT

(True|False) Configures the collectd "network" plugin on the controller node of a multi-node deployment.

Default: False
