<font face="Verdana">Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I've started using collectd and I think it is a very very good tool
for its purpose: gathering data.<br>
From my point of view (sysadmin) it makes sense to have a RDBM
backend for collectd as that will reduce the I/O hell experienced on
the collectd master.<br>
From my experience once you jump over 10 clients you need to invest
in 15000 rotations/sec SAS disks, otherwise the master won't keep up.<br>
I've seen here <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Store_To_RDBMS">http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Store_To_RDBMS</a>
that there are some issues with creating a mysql backend. If I'm
correct and the issue is about creating a suitable mysql schema then
I'd like to help the project. <br>
Just mail the requirements to this email address and I'll create a
suitable schema for mysql.<br>
Also if collectd has a mysql backend it will make very easy writing
collectd web frontends.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Stefan <br>
