opentsdb-collectd-writer

A python based bridge from collectd to opentsdb. You'll need to define mappings for your local collectd values in value_to_hash, or accept the default mapping.

To keep the load on the opentsdb low, the plugin implements a in-memory queue for storing up to 1024 events that is flushed every 10s to the opentsdb host. If you have more than 1024 events within 10s, you might want to increase that.

Configuration

  ModulePath "/path/to/installed/tsdb.py"
  Import "tsdb"
  <Module tsdb>
    server "opentsdb server name"
    port   "https port of opentsdb server"
    ca     "ca file"
    cert   "local certificate"
    key    "local private key"
    tag    "host" "my host name"
    tag    "dc"   "my datacenter"
  </Module>

The tsdb plugin uses SSL certificates to authenticate against the opentsdb.

Using the tag configuration option, you can specify additional tags to be added to all metrics.
