From: Sebastian Harl Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2009 21:48:01 +0000 (+0100) Subject: postgresql plugin: Added support for blocks. X-Git-Tag: collectd-4.6.0~82 X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b350ce8049e8c5db34751340e015c7a7937664e;p=collectd.git postgresql plugin: Added support for blocks. This is a replacement for the "Column" config option (which has been deprecated). blocks allow for much more flexible handling of the data. Besides being able to use data types with multiple data sources, the plugin now supports to generate the type instance using information from the database. An example block might look like this (taken from the manpage): Type counter InstancePrefix "rt36_tickets" InstancesFrom "type" ValuesFrom "count" --- diff --git a/src/collectd.conf.pod b/src/collectd.conf.pod index a92497f0..00c7ed35 100644 --- a/src/collectd.conf.pod +++ b/src/collectd.conf.pod @@ -1589,10 +1589,28 @@ L. - Statement "SELECT magic, spells FROM wizard WHERE host = $1;" + Statement "SELECT magic FROM wizard WHERE host = $1;" Param hostname - Column gauge magic - Column counter spells + + Type gauge + InstancePrefix "magic" + ValuesFrom magic + + + + + Statement "SELECT COUNT(type) AS count, type \ + FROM (SELECT CASE \ + WHEN resolved = 'epoch' THEN 'open' \ + ELSE 'resolved' END AS type \ + FROM tickets) type \ + GROUP BY type;" + + Type counter + InstancePrefix "rt36_tickets" + InstancesFrom "type" + ValuesFrom "count" + @@ -1604,15 +1622,25 @@ L.
