Details

edit

`authfile`

edit

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

Path to the authentication file. This file should have the same format as the AuthFile in collectd. You only need to set this option if the security_level is set to Sign or Encrypt

`enable_metric`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is true

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance by default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

`id`

edit

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

Add a unique ID to the plugin instance, this ID is used for tracking information for a specific configuration of the plugin.

output {
 stdout {
   id => "ABC"
 }
}

If you don’t explicitely set this variable Logstash will generate a unique name.

`nan_handling`

edit

Value can be any of: change_value, warn, drop
Default value is "change_value"

What to do when a value in the event is NaN (Not a Number)

change_value (default): Change the NaN to the value of the nan_value option and add nan_tag as a tag
warn: Change the NaN to the value of the nan_value option, print a warning to the log and add nan_tag as a tag
drop: Drop the event containing the NaN (this only drops the single event, not the whole packet)

`nan_tag`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "_collectdNaN"

The tag to add to the event if a NaN value was found Set this to an empty string ('') if you don’t want to tag

`nan_value`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 0

Only relevant when nan_handeling is set to change_value Change NaN to this configured value

`prune_intervals`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is true

Prune interval records. Defaults to true.

`security_level`

edit

Value can be any of: None, Sign, Encrypt
Default value is "None"

Security Level. Default is None. This setting mirrors the setting from the collectd Network plugin

`typesdb`

edit

Value type is array
There is no default value for this setting.

File path(s) to collectd types.db to use. The last matching pattern wins if you have identical pattern names in multiple files. If no types.db is provided the included types.db will be used (currently 5.4.0).
