[collectd] Question about Graphite metrics from CollectD

[Steve Thompson]

Hi all,

I've recently started using CollectD to send metrics to Graphite instead of to RRD graphs. It works really well but it does something that I can't seem to find a way to turn off.

CollectD is polling SNMP devices and sending the data back to Graphite correctly but it insists on adding 'snmp' to the metric. For example - infrastructure.palo-alto.ups1.current arrives as infrastructure.palo-alto.ups1.snmp.current.

I'm guessing that it's adding the plugin name to the metric. Is there a way to stop it? If it helps, the relevant parts of my config are below.

Thanks for any advice


Steve
