SYNOPSIS
--------
Interval 60
Socket "/var/run/collectd-unixsock"
TimeseriesBackend "rrdtool"
TimeseriesBaseURL "/var/lib/collectd/rrd"
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* ''::
An instance block specifies a connection to collectd. The specified
'' is used to identify the connection internally but otherwise has
no special meaning.
+
An instance block accepts the following configuration options:
*Socket* '';;
The path name of the UNIX domain socket provided by collectd's
*unixsock* plugin.
*TimeseriesBackend* '';;
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* '';;
The base URL for time-series data. This may be a path-name or a
network address depending on the time-series backend type.
