The geekoops-collectd role is an Ansible role to install and configure collectd on an openSUSE Leap server. The role contains many configuration parameter with which you can enable a large set of collectd plugins.

Currently the plugin supports pushing to an InfluxDB server or setting up a prometheus webserver for metrics scraping.

Most common plugins have been considered for the role, but the state is not yet complete. If you miss a certain plugin, feel free to create a pull request or report it as an issue.

The following example enables collectd on the jellyfish server and pushed the metrics to the InfluxDB host on 192.168.122.3. In addition to the default plugins (cpu, uptime, load, memory, swap) we also want to report metrics from df about the disk stats, from the local APC, additional vmem information and the hddtemp stats.
