Docker Image for Collectd to be used with InfluxDB and Grafana in MQTT-based IoT installations

Docker Image for Collectd for IoT

Supports only MQTT

To be used with InfluxDB and Grafana, e.g. standalone:

docker run -d \
           --name influxdb \
           -e INFLUXDB_COLLECTD_ENABLED=true \
           -e INFLUXDB_COLLECTD_DATABASE=_internal \
           -e INFLUXDB_COLLECTD_TYPESDB=/usr/share/collectd/types.db \
           -e INFLUXDB_COLLECTD_SECURITY_LEVEL=none \
           -v /usr/share/collectd/types.db:/usr/share/collectd/types.db \
           influxdb
docker run -d \
           --name=grafana \
           -p 3000:3000 \
           -e "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret" \
           --link influxdb:influxdb grafana/grafana
docker run -d \
           --name collectd \
           --hostname ${HOSTNAME} \
           --link influxdb:influxdb \
           mwaeckerlin/collectd

or in docker swarm:

  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana

      - 3000:3000

Getting types.db

Make sure /usr/share/collectd/types.db exists. You can copy it from a mwaeckerlin/collectd container:

docker create --name temporary mwaeckerlin/collectd
docker cp temporary:/usr/share/collectd/types.db types.db
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/collectd
sudo mv -i types.db /usr/share/collectd/
docker rm temporary

Configure Grafana

• Head your browser to the Grafana url, e.g. http://localhost:3000.
• Login with user admin and your password, in the example above, that's secret.
• Add data source:
  • Click InfluxDB
    • Set Name: InfluxDB - Collectd (or whatever you like)
    • Set URL: http://influxdb:8086
    • Set Database: _internal
    • Click Save & Test
• Back to Home Dashboard, choose New dashboard:
  • Click New dashboard
  • Click Import dashboard
  • Paste 554 to Grafana.com dashboard (as an example)
    • Set Name: Host Overview (or whatever you like)
    • Click change on Unique identifier (uid)
    • Choose InfluxDB - Collectd in influxdb_collectd
    • Click Import
