Collectd

The collectd input plugin allows you to receive datagrams from collectd service.

Configuration Parameters

The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:

Key	Description	Default
Listen	Set the address to listen to	0.0.0.0
Port	Set the port to listen to	25826
TypesDB	Set the data specification file	/usr/share/collectd/types.db

Configuration Examples

Here is a basic configuration example.

[INPUT]
    Name         collectd
    Listen       0.0.0.0
    Port         25826
    TypesDB      /usr/share/collectd/types.db,/etc/collectd/custom.db

[OUTPUT]
    Name   stdout
    Match  *

With this configuration, Calyptia Fluent Bit listens to 0.0.0.0:25826, and outputs incoming datagram packets to stdout.

You must set the same types.db files that your collectd server uses. Otherwise, Calyptia Fluent Bit may not be able to interpret the payload properly.
