Hello everyone,


in the last weeks I've been submitting PRs to collectd upstream, to
bring the virt plugin up to date with Vdsm and oVirt needs.

Previously, the collectd virt plugin reported only a subset of metrics
oVirt uses.

In current collectd master, the collectd virt plugin provides all the
data Vdsm (thus Engine) needs. This means that it is now

possible for Vdsm or Engine to query collectd, not Vdsm/libvirt, and
have the same data.

Do we wish to ship the unixsock collectd plugin? I'm not sure we do these days (4.1).
We can do that later, of course, when we ship this.
Y.


AFAIR the collectd unixsock plugin it's built and shipped by default by the collectd (even RPMs). It is the way the command line `collectdctl` too uses to talk with the daemon.

I can confirm this is exactly what I see, on F25 at least. Just to add that it is disabled by default in collectd.conf

Our client module is still work in progress.

I'd be happy to just use a third party client module, the (semi-)official one is not shipped by default last time I checked; perhaps just file one RFE about that?
