Number of nf_conntrack entries.
- entropy
Amount of entropy available to the system.
+ - ethstat
+ Network interface card statistics.
+
- exec
Values gathered by a custom program or script.
See collectd-exec(5).
- load
System load average over the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
+ - lpar
+ Detailed CPU statistics of the “Logical Partitions” virtualization
+ technique built into IBM's POWER processors.
+
- libvirt
- CPU, disk and network I/O statistics from virtual machines.
+ CPU, memory, disk and network I/O statistics from virtual machines.
+
+ - lvm
+ Size of “Logical Volumes” (LV) and “Volume Groups” (VG) of Linux'
+ “Logical Volume Manager” (LVM).
- madwifi
Queries very detailed usage statistics from wireless LAN adapters and
Motherboard sensors: temperature, fanspeed and voltage information,
using mbmon(1).
+ - md
+ Linux software-RAID device information (number of active, failed, spare
+ and missing disks).
+
- memcachec
Query and parse data from a memcache daemon (memcached).
Memory utilization: Memory occupied by running processes, page cache,
buffer cache and free.
+ - mic
+ Collects CPU usage, memory usage, temperatures and power consumption from
+ Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) CPUs.
+
- modbus
Reads values from Modbus/TCP enabled devices. Supports reading values
from multiple "slaves" so gateway devices can be used.
Network UPS tools: UPS current, voltage, power, charge, utilisation,
temperature, etc. See upsd(8).
+ - numa
+ Information about Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA).
+
- olsrd
Queries routing information from the “Optimized Link State Routing”
daemon.
write your own plugins in Perl and return arbitrary values using this
API. See collectd-perl(5).
+ - pf
+ Query statistics from BSD's packet filter "pf".
+
- pinba
Receive and dispatch timing values from Pinba, a profiling extension for
PHP.
collectd without the need to start a heavy interpreter every interval.
See collectd-python(5) for details.
+ - redis
+ The redis plugin gathers information from a redis server, including:
+ uptime, used memory, total connections etc.
+
- routeros
Query interface and wireless registration statistics from RouterOS.
Follows (tails) logfiles, parses them by lines and submits matched
values.
+ - tail_csv
+ Follows (tails) files in CSV format, parses each line and submits
+ extracted values.
+
- tape
Bytes and operations read and written on tape devices. Solaris only.
- users
Users currently logged in.
+ - varnish
+ Various statistics from Varnish, an HTTP accelerator.
+
- vmem
Virtual memory statistics, e. g. the number of page-ins/-outs or the
number of pagefaults.
* Output can be written or sent to various destinations by the following
plugins:
+ - amqp
+ Sends JSON-encoded data to an Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP)
+ server, such as RabbitMQ.
+
- csv
Write to comma separated values (CSV) files. This needs lots of
diskspace but is extremely portable and can be analysed with almost
needed. Please read collectd-unixsock(5) for a description on how that's
done.
+ - write_graphite
+ Sends data to Carbon, the storage layer of Graphite using TCP or UDP. It
+ can be configured to avoid logging send errors (especially useful when
+ using UDP).
+
- write_http
Sends the values collected by collectd to a web-server using HTTP POST
requests. The transmitted data is either in a form understood by the
Exec plugin or formatted in JSON.
+ - write_mongodb
+ Sends data to MongoDB, a NoSQL database.
+
+ - write_redis
+ Sends the values to a Redis key-value database server.
+
+ - write_riemann
+ Sends data to Riemann, a stream processing and monitoring system.
+
* Logging is, as everything in collectd, provided by plugins. The following
plugins keep up informed about what's going on:
* Miscellaneous plugins:
+ - aggregation
+ Selects multiple value lists based on patterns or regular expressions
+ and creates new aggregated values lists from those.
+
+ - threshold
+ Checks values against configured thresholds and creates notifications if
+ values are out of bounds. See collectd-threshold(5) for details.
+
- uuid
Sets the hostname to an unique identifier. This is meant for setups
where each client may migrate to another physical host, possibly going
* libclntsh (optional)

+
* libcurl (optional)
If you want to use the `apache', `ascent', `curl', `nginx', or `write_http'
plugin.

+ * librabbitmq (optional; also called “rabbitmq-c”)
+ Used by the AMQP plugin for AMQP connections, for example to RabbitMQ.
