Hi I'm a collectd virgin, my strengths are more in software development that system administration, but I have a need to wet my toes in data gathering/monitoring for some servers.
You probably get a lot of these questions. I have Googled, as well as looked for a list archive to search (but couldn't see one?). Basically I have collectd installed, but don't know how to make my pretty graphs. Sorry. I'm testing out collectd on a small virtual host, to try to get my head around things. It's a Slicehost slice (ideally) running CentOS, nginx, fast-cgi. To try to ease my learning curve I've installed Apache (as that is what most docs seem to assume). The nginx stub is working, collectd appears to be writing rrd files in /var/lib/collectd/www.mysite.com (this feels like the wrong place to me?). Running /var/www/collection3/bin/index.cgi gives this error: opendir (/var/lib/collectd/rrd): No such file or directory at ../lib/Collectd/Graph/Common.pm line 263 Am I nearly there? Very happy to go back to RTFM, just haven't found one that answers my question (or rather, that I understand enough to solve my problem).
