Installation

Usage

Spawn a client that sends the data every 60s to myserver:

var Collectd = require('collectdout');
var client = new Collectd(60000, "collectd_server", 25826, "my_server");

Fourth argument is optional, default is os.hostname()

Create your plugin instance:

var plugin = client.plugin('myapp', 'worker13');

Set gauges, they are averaged within a sampling period:

plugin.setGauge('users', 'total', 23);
plugin.setGauge('load', '0', [1.0, 0.85, 0.7]);

Manipulate counters:

plugin.setCounter('if_octets', 'eth0', [0, 0]);
plugin.addCounter('uptime', '0', 1);
