[collectd] CollectD installation with virt plugin

[chetan.sonar]

Hi Guys,

I need urgent help.
We are trying to gather LVM virtual machines CPU and MEM utilization 
details using CollectD Virt Plugin but failing to install it properly :
After the installation I am not able to access http://localhost/collectd 
because there is nothing in /var/ww/html

Can you provide me the proper installation procedure to install Collectd 
libvirt plugin, I have followed below procedure -

Install collectd
1
2
3
	
|yum install collectd -y|
|yum install collectd-virt -y|
|yum install collectd-apache -y|

In /etc/collectd.conf replace:

1
	
|PluginDir   "/usr/lib/collectd"|

With:

1
	
|PluginDir "/usr/lib64/collectd"|

In /etc/collectd.conf uncomment the following lines, while replacing 
BaseDir with the location you want the rrd output files to go to

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
	
|BaseDir "/usr/var/lib/collectd"|
|PIDFile "/usr/var/run/collectd.pid"|
|PluginDir "/usr/lib64/collectd"|
|LoadPlugin logfile|
|<Plugin logfile>|
|||LogLevel info|
|||File "/var/log/collectd.log"|
|||Timestamp true|
|||PrintSeverity false|
|</Plugin>|

Also uncomment the following to load apache and libvirt plugins:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
	
|LoadPlugin apache|
|LoadPlugin libvirt|
|<Plugin libvirt>|
|||Connection "kvm:///"|
|||RefreshInterval 60|
|#       Domain "name"|
|#       BlockDevice "name:device"|
|#       InterfaceDevice "name:device"|
|#       IgnoreSelected false|
|#       HostnameFormat name|
|</Plugin>|

Start collectd

1
	
|/etc/init.d/collectd start|

One way to view collectd stats is to use Apache with collectd-web.

Install collectd-web:

1
	
|yum install collectd-web -y|

Edit the collections file:

1
2
3
	
|vim /etc/collections.conf|
|Change DataDir to be:|
|DataDir "/var/log/collectd/"|

Also, rewrite HTTP to HTTPS for security:

1
2
3
4
	
|Redirect HTTP to HTTPS:|
|RewriteEngine On|
|RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off|
|RewriteRule (.*) https://% <https://%25/>{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}|

Point your browser tohttp://localhost/collectd
