Todo: Create/Modify/Verify rrdcollect and move it from 'testing' to 'main'


Install programs

apk add rrdtool rrdcollect

Create rrd-databases

As we will use rrdcollect to collect our data for us, we will create all databases that the default config for rrdcollect tries to use.

stat.rrd

rrdtool create /var/lib/rrdtool/stat.rrd \
--step 60 \
DS:cpu_user:COUNTER:120:0:U \
DS:cpu_nice:COUNTER:120:0:U \

RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:720 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:720

memory.rrd

rrdtool create /var/lib/rrdtool/memory.rrd \
--step 60 \
DS:mem_used:GAUGE:120:0:U \
DS:mem_free:GAUGE:120:0:U \
DS:mem_shared:GAUGE:120:0:U \

DS:swap_used:GAUGE:120:0:U \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:720 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:720

eth0.rrd

rrdtool create /var/lib/rrdtool/eth0.rrd \
--step 60 \
DS:bytes_in:COUNTER:120:0:U \
DS:pkts_in:COUNTER:120:0:U \
DS:bytes_out:COUNTER:120:0:U \
DS:pkts_out:COUNTER:120:0:U \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:720 \
RRA:MAX:0.5:1:720

(The default rrdcollect.conf tries to fetch data for eth1. With small modifications of the above command can be used to create such 'eth1.rrd')

Note: If you chose to change the "--step 60" which specifies the base interval in seconds with which data will be fed into the RRD.
Make sure to change the 'step' value in /etc/rrdcollect/rrdcollect.conf to reflect your changes above.

Gather information and put it in the RRD

rc-service rrdcollect start

Create graphs based on the rrd's

In the below examples you will notice that the .png file is exported to "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/".
You would need to either create /var/www/localhost/htdocs/ or change the path for the images.
