## README

# DESCRIPTION #

Configure plugins for the [collectd](http://collectd.org/) monitoring daemon.

# REQUIREMENTS #

This cookbook has only been tested on Ubuntu 10.04.

# USAGE #

A number of recipes for standard plugins are available:

* `collectd_plugins::rrdtool` - Output to RRD database files.
* `collectd_plugins::syslog` Log errors to syslog.
* `collectd_plugins::cpu` - CPU usage.
* `collectd_plugins::df` - Free space on disks.
* `collectd_plugins::disk` - Disk I/O operations.
* `collectd_plugins::interface` - Network I/O operations.
* `collectd_plugins::memory` - Memory usage.
* `collectd_plugins::swap` - Swap file usage.

It is recommended to always enable the first two (rrdtool and syslog), but the others are entirely optional. For convenience, the `collectd_plugins` default recipe will include all of these.

## Redis ##

A plugin to monitor [Redis](http://redis.io/) is included as `collectd_plugins::redis`. This recipe requires that you be using our [redis cookbook](https://github.com/AtariTech/cookbooks/tree/master/redis)
for your servers, but can be trivially modified to look for a different recipe or role name.
