The sysutils/collectd port

collectd-5.12.0p2 – system metrics collection engine (cvsweb github mirror)

Description

collectd gathers statistics about the system it is running on and stores
this information. Those statistics can then be used to find current
performance bottlenecks (i.e. performance analysis) and predict future
system load (i.e. capacity planning). Or if you just want pretty graphs
of your private server and are fed up with some homegrown solution
you're at the right place, too ;).

Readme

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

By default, collectd runs as root. Root privileges are required for some
collectd plugins, namely dns and ping plugins.
For more information, please referer to:
${HOMEPAGE}wiki/index.php/Category:Plugins_requiring_privileges

If you do not use these plugins, it is recommended to run collectd daemon
with unpriviliged user account, _collectd. Adjust your configuration with
the following command:

	# rcctl set collectd user "_collectd"

If you had previously run collectd as root using the rrdtool plugin,
you should also change the ownership of /var/collectd to _collectd.

	# chown -R _collectd /var/collectd
