Collectd-web

The main objective of this is to develop an easy to use and customizable web interface for Collectd (Resource monitoring software). Two days of research where enough to realize that collectd didn't have a real frontend and the one bundled with the backend was really made for testing purposes, so much of the usability and strength of statistics was left aside.

Installation

You must have a path containing each host's files in a separate sub-directory, named according to the host.

For example,

/etc/collectd/collectd-web/localhost/

In this case, your datadir will be '/etc/collectd/collectd-web/'. Create /etc/collectd/collection.conf with the content:

datadir: "/etc/collectd/collectd-web/"

For Debian-based linux distribution

Install the following dependencies

apt-get install librrds-perl libjson-perl libhtml-parser-perl

Using the webserver

Give collectd-web a try! Execute the standalone web server and you are done:

python runserver.py
