A collection of collectd configs that work well with SignalFx.
$ git clone https://github.com/signalfx/signalfx-collectd-configs.git
$ cd signalfx-collectd-configs/
$ ./install.sh /path/to/collectd
If you want to add another config, simply copy it into your collectd
configuration directory's managed_config sub-directory:
$ cp managed_config/10-bob.conf /etc/collectd.d/managed_config/
In most cases, you'll need to edit the file to configure credentials, paths or endpoints. Read the instructions at the top of each config file for how to use or debug it.
To release the configuration script signalfx-configure-collectd.sh:
- run ./create_installer.sh
- Go to signalfx-collectd-configs/releases and draft a new release.
- The git tag and release should both be title v<version number> e.g. v0.18
- Document the changes in the release in the release notes
- Upload the signalfx-configure-collectd.sh you just created
- Upload collectd-package-install as well
- Publish the release
