In order to allow the inspectIT HostAgent integration with collectd (see System performance statistics over collectd) to report data to the monitoring database, please perform the following configurations.
Find the file /opt/influxdb/shared/config.toml and find the input_plugins.collectd plugin configuration and change it according to the following:
# Configure the collectd api [input_plugins.collectd] enabled = true # address = "0.0.0.0" # If not set, is actually set to bind-address. port = 8096 database = "inspectIT" # types.db can be found in a collectd installation or on github: # https://github.com/collectd/collectd/blob/master/src/types.db typesdb = "/usr/share/collectd/types.db" # The path to the collectd types.db file
Please be sure to restart InfluxDB to apply the changes (/etc/init.d/influxdb restart)
