I'm getting started using thresholds with collectd and had a couple of
questions.
I see in the examples that you can use a Type for stuff like cpu, but
you need to use a Plugin for "memory" and "interface". Is there any
set of base plugins that you can use without the Plugin tag or
something?
Also, I'm trying to do a threshold with df with a percentage and based
only on ext3 type filesystems. I'm doing it like this currently:
<Type "df">
Instance "ext3"
Percentage true
FailureMin 2
</Type>
I know it's a low number - I'm just trying to trigger a failure in the
log file. Do I need to wrap the Type in a Plugin? Is ext3 something
that needs to be an Instance or a DataSource? I ask because even
taking out the Instance line, it doesn't trigger an error and I'm
pretty sure it should.
Thanks.
