Puppet module for configuring collectd and plugins.
The simplest use case is to use all of the configurations in
the default collectd.conf
file shipped with collectd. This can
be done by simply including the class:
include ::collectd
Collectd is most useful when configured with customized plugins.
This is accomplished by removing the default collectd.conf
file
and replacing it with a file that includes all alternative
configurations. Configure a node with the following class
declaration:
class { '::collectd':
purge => true,
recurse => true,
purge_config => true,
minimum_version => '5.4',
}
Set purge
, recurse
, and purge_config
to true
in order to override
the default configurations shipped in collectd.conf
and use
custom configurations stored in conf.d
. From here you can set up
additional plugins as shown below.
Specifying the version
or minimum_version
of collectd as shown above reduces
the need for two puppet runs to converge. See
Puppet needs two runs to correctly write my conf, why?
below.
Hiera example in YAML of passing install_options
to the package resource for
managing the collectd package. This parameter must be an array.
collectd::package_install_options:
- '--nogpgcheck'
Example of how to load plugins with no additional configuration:
collectd::plugin { 'battery': }
Where battery
is the name of the plugin.
Note: this should only be done in the case of a class for the plugin not existing in this module.
The module will enable a repo by default.
On CentOS that will be EPEL:
On Ubuntu that'll be the CollectD PPA:
In case you need to change the server where to download the public key from for
whatever reason (AKA: server is down) you can use the parameter
$package_keyserver
Recently, Collectd CI packages are also avaliable from the CI repo
More information is avaliable here:
You can choose the CI repo with the $ci_package_repo
parameter.
$ci_package_repo
has to match '5.4', '5.5', '5.6', '5.7' or 'master' (RC for next release) as
these are the current branches being built in the Collectd CI.
Parameters will vary widely between plugins. See the collectd documentation for each plugin for configurable attributes.

Sets whether or not statistics about the compression used by OpenVPN should be collected. This information is only available in single mode. (Defaulttrue
)collectindividualusers
Sets whether or not traffic information is collected for each connected client individually. If set to false, currently no traffic data is collected at all because aggregating this data in a save manner is tricky. (Defaulttrue
)collectusercount
When enabled, the number of currently connected clients or users is collected. This is especially interesting when CollectIndividualUsers is disabled, but can be configured independently from that option. (Defaultfalse
)

You can as well configure this plugin as a parameterized class :
class { 'collectd::plugin::postgresql':
databases => {
'postgres' => {
'host' => '/var/run/postgresql/',
'user' => 'postgres',
'password' => 'postgres',
'sslmode' => 'disable',
'query' => [ 'query_plans', 'queries', 'table_states', 'disk_io' ],
},
'devdb' => {
'host' => 'host.example.com',
'port' => '5432',
'user' => 'postgres',
'password' => 'secret',
'sslmode' => 'prefer',
}
}
}
You can either specify powerdns servers / recursors at once:
class { 'collectd::plugin::powerdns':
recursors => {
'recursor1' => {
'socket' => '/var/run/my-socket',
'collect' => ['cache-hits', 'cache-misses'],
},
'recursor2' => {}
},
servers => {
'server1' => {
'socket' => '/var/run/my-socket',
'collect' => ['latency', 'recursing-answers', 'recursing-questions'],
}
},
}
Or define single server / recursor:
collectd::plugin::powerdns::recursor { 'my-recursor' :
socket => '/var/run/my-socket',
collect => ['cache-hits', 'cache-misses'],
}
collectd::plugin::powerdns::server { 'my-server' :
socket => '/var/run/my-socket',
collect => ['latency', 'recursing-answers', 'recursing-questions'],
}
You can either specify processes / process matches at once:
class { 'collectd::plugin::processes':
processes => ['process1', 'process2'],
process_matches => [
{ name => 'process-all', regex => 'process.*' }
],
}
Or define single processes / process matches:
collectd::plugin::processes::process { 'collectd' : }
collectd::plugin::processes::processmatch { 'elasticsearch' :
regex => '.*java.*org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch'
}
values
is an array ofProtocol
names,Protocol:ValueName
pairs, or a regex- see
/proc/net/netstat
and/proc/net/snmp
for a list ofProtocol
targets
See collectd.conf documentation for details
class { 'collectd::plugin::protocols':
values => ['/^Tcp:*/', '/^Udp:*/', 'Icmp:InErrors' ],
ignoreselected => false,
}
The plugin uses a fact python_dir
to find the python load path for modules.
python or python3 must be installed as a pre-requisite for the this
fact to give a non-default value.
modulepaths
is an array of paths where will be Collectd looking for Python modules, Puppet will ensure that each of specified directories exists and it is owned byroot
(andchmod 0750
). If you don't specify anymodulepaths
a default value for given distribution will be used.modules
a Hash containing configuration of Python modules, where the key is the module nameglobals
Unlike most other plugins, this one should setGlobals true
. This will cause collectd to export the name of all objects in the Python interpreter for all plugins to see. If you don't do this or your platform does not support it, the embedded interpreter will start anyway but you won't be able to load certain Python modules, e.g. "time".interactive
whentrue
it will launch an interactive Python interpreter that reads from and writes to the terminal (default:false
)logtraces
if a Python script throws an exception it will be logged by collectd with the name of the exception and the message (default:false
)conf_name
name of the file that will contain the python module configuration (default:python-config.conf
)
See collectd-python documentation for more details.
NOTE: Since v3.4.0
the syntax of this plugin has changed. Make sure to update
your existing configuration. Now you can specify multiple Python modules at once:
class { 'collectd::plugin::python':
modulepaths => ['/usr/share/collectd/python'],
modules => {
'elasticsearch' => {
'script_source' => 'puppet:///modules/myorg/elasticsearch_collectd_python.py',
'config' => [{'Cluster' => 'elasticsearch'},],
},
'another-module' => {
'config' => [{'Verbose' => 'true'},],
}
}
logtraces => true,
interactive => false,
}
When script_source
provided, a file called {module}.py
will be created in $modulepath/$module.py
.
Or define single module:
collectd::plugin::python::module {'zk-collectd':
script_source => 'puppet:///modules/myorg/zk-collectd.py',
config => [
{'Hosts' => "localhost:2181",
'Verbose' => true,
'Values' => ["abc","def"],
'Name' => 'My Name',
'Limit' => 4.5,
}
]
}
The resulting configuration would be
Import "zk-collectd"
<Module "zk-collectd">
Hosts "localhost:2181"
Verbose true
Values "abc" "def"
Limit 4.5
</Module>
Each plugin might use different modulepath
, however make sure that all paths
are included in collectd::plugin::python
variable modulepaths
. If no
modulepath
is specified, OS default will be used.
collectd::plugin::python::module {'my-module':
modulepath => '/var/share/collectd',
script_source => 'puppet:///modules/myorg/my-module.py',
config => [
{'Key' => "value",
'Value' => 3.4,
}
]
}

The write_graphite
plugin writes data to Graphite, an open-source metrics
storage and graphing project.
collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbon {'my_graphite':
graphitehost => 'graphite.example.org',
graphiteport => 2003,
graphiteprefix => '',
protocol => 'tcp'
}
You can define multiple Graphite backends where will be metrics send. Each backend should have unique title:
collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbon {'secondary_graphite':
graphitehost => 'graphite.example.org',
graphiteport => 2004,
graphiteprefix => '',
protocol => 'udp',
escapecharacter => '_',
alwaysappendds => true,
storerates => true,
separateinstances => false,
logsenderrors => true
}
The write_http plugin supports two ways of configuration, the old plugin format using urls:
class { 'collectd::plugin::write_http':
urls => {
'collect1.example.org' => { 'format' => 'JSON' },
'collect2.example.org' => {},
}
}
And the new plugin format using nodes:
class { 'collectd::plugin::write_http':
nodes => {
'collect1' => { 'url' => 'collect1.example.org', 'format' => 'JSON' },
'collect2' => { 'url' => 'collect2.example.org'},
}
}
- Requires the Apache Kafka C/C++ library
- Available in collectd version >= 5.5.
class { 'collectd::plugin::write_kafka':
kafka_host => 'localhost',
kafka_port => 9092,
topics => {
'mytopic' => { 'format' => 'JSON' },
}
}
class { 'collectd::plugin::write_log':

}
class { 'collectd::plugin::write_prometheus':

Collectd needs to know how to handle each collected datapoint.
For this it uses a database file called types.db
Those files can be created using the collectd::typesdb
and collectd::type
define resources.
$db = '/etc/collectd/types.db'
collectd::typesdb { $db: }
collectd::type { "response_size-${db}":
target => $db,
ds_type => 'ABSOLUTE',
min => 0,
max => 10000000,
ds_name => 'value',
}
class { 'collectd':
typesdb => [
'/usr/share/collectd/types.db',
$typesdb,
],
}
Other software may need to read the Collectd types database files. To allow
non-root users to read from a collectd::typesdb
file like so:
$db = '/etc/collectd/types.db'
collectd::typesdb { $db:
mode => '0644',
}
Assuming that the collectdctl command is available on remote nodes puppet tasks exist to
run collectdctl and collect results from nodes. The tasks rely on python3
being available
also.
$ bolt task show collectd::listval
collectd::listval - Lists all available collectd metrics
USAGE:
bolt task run --nodes <node-name> collectd::listval
collectd::listval - Lists all available collectd metrics
USAGE:
bolt task run --nodes <node-name> collectd::listval
$ bolt task show collectd::getval
collectd::getval - Get a particular metric for a host
USAGE:
bolt task run --nodes <node-name> collectd::getval metric=<value>
PARAMETERS:
- metric: String[1]
Name of metric, e.g. load/load-relative
$ bolt -u root task run collectd::getval metric=load/load-relative -n aiadm32.example.org
returns the values of the load metric.
{
"metric": "load/load-relative",
"values": {
"shortterm": "1.750000e-01",
"longterm": "8.000000e-02",
"midterm": "8.500000e-02"
}
}
See metadata.json for supported platforms
Some plugins will need two runs of Puppet to fully generate the configuration
for collectd. See this issue.
This can be avoided by specifying a minimum version ($minimum_version
) for
the collectd class. e.g. Setting this to 1.2.3 will make this module assume on
the first run (when the fact responsible to provide the collectd version is not
yet available) that your systems are running collectd 1.2.3 and generate the
configuration accordingly.
This project contains tests for rspec-puppet.
Quickstart:
gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec rake lint
bundle exec rake validate
bundle exec rake rubocop
bundle exec rake spec SPEC_OPTS='--format documentation'
Some plugins or some options in plugins are only available for recent versions of collectd.
This module shall not use unsupported configuration directives. Look at templates/loadplugin.conf.erb for a hands-on example.
Please make use of the search by branch/tags on the collectd github to see when a function has been first released.
Reading the collectd.conf.pod file is good, validating the presence of the code in the .c files is even better.
Puppet-collectd is maintained by VoxPupuli. Before moving to VoxPupuli it was written and maintained by TheCAT in the pdxcat github org.
