How do I configure Collectd for SPM if I am already using it?
A: SPM requires the Collectd "csv" plugin to be enabled and configured like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
<Plugin csv> DataDir /opt/spm/collectd/logs StoreRates true </Plugin> |
If you are already using Collectd and if the DataDir is already pointed to some other directory, simply symlink the /spm/collectd/logs directory to the directory specified in DataDir, like this:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
sudo mkdir -p /opt/spm/collectd # if needed sudo ln -s /some/existing/collectd/data/dir /spm/collectd/logs |
You will also have to merge the remaining part of the Collectd config required by SPM.Is there a Chef Recipe for the SPM client?

and restart your application/server.
Note: When doing SPM client update on systems where SPM client was moved to different directory, you will first have to move SPM back to original /opt/spm directory:
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo bash /opt/spm/bin/move-spm-home-dir.sh /mnt/some_other_dir/spm /opt/spm |
and then proceed with regular update. After update is done, you can again move SPM client to location which suits you.
General Troubleshooting
Can I install SPM client on servers that are behind a proxy?

A: Filters have 1 day granularity, which means that a server will be listed under Hosts filter until 24 hours since it last sent data have passed. For example, if a server stopped sending data at 1 PM and if at 8 PM you are looking at the last 6 hours of data (for a period from 2 PM until 8 PM) you will not see data from this server on the graph, but you will still see this server listed under the Hosts filter until 1 PM on the following day. After 1 PM on the following day this server should disappear from the Hosts filter.
I rebooted my server and now I don't see any data in my graphs. What should I check?
