collectd

Milestone: 1

Synopsis

This is what it might look like in your config file:

# with an input plugin:
# you can also use this codec with an output.
input { 
  file {
    codec => collectd {
      authfile => ... # string (optional)
      nan_handling => ... # string, one of ["change_value", "warn", "drop"] (optional), default: "change_value"
      nan_tag => ... # string (optional), default: "_collectdNaN"
      nan_value => ... # number (optional), default: 0
      prune_intervals => ... # boolean (optional), default: true
      security_level => ... # string, one of ["None", "Sign", "Encrypt"] (optional), default: "None"
      typesdb => ... # array (optional)
    }
  }
}

Details

authfile

• Value type is string
• There is no default value for this setting.

Path to the authentication file. This file should have the same format as the AuthFile in collectd. You only need to set this option if the security_level is set to “Sign” or “Encrypt”

nan_handling

• Value can be any of: "change_value", "warn", "drop"
• Default value is "change_value"

What to do when a value in the event is NaN (Not a Number) - change_value (default): Change the NaN to the value of the nan_value option and add nan_tag as a tag - warn: Change the NaN to the value of the nan_value option, print a warning to the log and add nan_tag as a tag - drop: Drop the event containing the NaN (this only drops the single event, not the whole packet)

nan_tag

• Value type is string
• Default value is "_collectdNaN"

The tag to add to the event if a NaN value was found Set this to an empty string (‘’) if you don’t want to tag

nan_value

• Value type is number
• Default value is 0

Only relevant when nan_handeling is set to ‘change_value’ Change NaN to this configured value

prune_intervals

• Value type is boolean
• Default value is true

Prune interval records. Defaults to true.

security_level

• Value can be any of: "None", "Sign", "Encrypt"
• Default value is "None"

Security Level. Default is “None”. This setting mirrors the setting from the collectd Network plugin

typesdb

• Value type is array
• There is no default value for this setting.

File path(s) to collectd types.db to use. The last matching pattern wins if you have identical pattern names in multiple files. If no types.db is provided the included types.db will be used (currently 5.4.0).
