Statistics (collectd)¶
Collectd is a daemon which collects system performance statistics periodically and stores them in RRD files. Statistics will be displayed inside a web interface called
- Collectd Graph Panel (CGP), package nethserver-cgp
The web interface can be accessed from the Graphs.
After installation, the system will gather following statistics:
- CPU usage
- system load
- number of processes
- RAM memory usage
- virtual memory (swap) usage
- system uptime
- disk space usage
- disk read and write operations
- network interfaces
- network latency
For each check, the web interface will display a graph containing last collected value and also minimum, maximum and average values.
Network latency¶
The ping plugin measure the network latency. At regular intervals, it sends a ping to the configured upstream DNS. If the multi WAN module is configured, any enabled provider is also checked.
Additional hosts could be monitored (i.e. a web server) using a comma separated list of hosts inside the PingHosts
property.
Example:
config setprop collectd PingHosts www.google.com,www.nethserver.org
signal-event nethserver-collectd-update
