<br />
== Start collectd ==<br />
After the installation collectd is not running. To start collectd, use ''start''.<br />
<br />
{{Cmd|rc-service collectd start}}<br />
<br />
You will get a feedback about the status.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
* Starting collectd ... [ ok ]<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Alternatively you can also run collectd directly, from <code>/usr/sbin/collectd</code><br />
<br />
== Stop collectd ==<br />
If you want to stop the server use ''stop''.<br />
<br />
{{Cmd|rc-service collectd stop}}<br />
<br />
== Restart collectd ==<br />
After changing the configuration file collectd needs to be restarted.<br />
<br />
{{Cmd|rc-service collectd restart}}<br />
<br />
== Runlevel ==<br />
Normally you want to start the collectd server when the system is launching. This is done by adding collectd to the needed runlevel.<br />
<br />
{{Cmd|rc-update add collectd default}}<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
* service collectd added to runlevel default<br />
</pre><br />
