The OpenVZ plugin emulates several of the standard plugins available for collectd for each Virtual Environment (VE) on a host. Current plugins emulated are interface, cpu, df, load, processes, and users. No configuration is currently supported. The plugin will use the friendly name (set by vzctl set --name) for the reporting host field.
<LoadPlugin "perl">
Globals true
</LoadPlugin>
<Plugin "perl">
BaseName "Collectd::Plugins"
LoadPlugin "OpenVZ"
</Plugin>
None yet. Add one now!
If using versions 4.9 or 4.10, be sure to load the Perl plugin with the Globals option set to true. Otherwise the OpenVZ module will not work properly. The appropriate configuration for loading the Perl plugin is:
<LoadPlugin "perl">
Globals true
</LoadPlugin>
Versions before 4.9 don't support this option; it's possible the OpenVZ plugin doesn't work with these versions of collectd. Version-5.0 and later will automatically set this flag for the Perl plugin, so the above syntax isn't required but still legal.
