Wiki page, Plugin:LXC

Hello,

I am the maintainer of the upcoming plugin LXC. I do not have enough
permissions to create the wiki page LXC. Is somebody with necessary
rights could do it for me? (octo?)

Regards,

latests commit, build error

Hello,

At the time I am checking, the latests commit
(99364c70a7039ed496dbe429fb86ee41e464fc76) remove something that the
execution of ./build.sh file try to access:
configure.in:4868: required file `src/owniptc/Makefile.in' not found

Its easy to never see this error when you are updating from the same
build since the src/owniptc directory is part of the .gitignore file.
But trying on a fresh build do not work with the error mentioned
above.

I dont really have time to investigate further right now, so I let you
now about this error.

thanks

Graphite/Carbon Writer Plugin

In a shameless plug, I wanted to inform the community of a Collectd writer plugin I wrote that sends data to Graphite/Carbon (http://graphite.wikidot.com/start). In a nutshell, it is an alternative data back-end and front-end to RRDs.

I've worked with Collectd data in both RRD and Graphite, and I feel that Graphite is a better experience. I have yet to see a RRD front-end as polished or feature complete as Graphite. But, I haven't seen every RRD front-end, so you may reach a different conclusion.

You can find the code at https://github.com/indygreg/collectd-carbon

Is there a patch to fix this iptc issue with collectd on Ubunutu Server (11.04) i386?

Very cool, thanks for writing and releasing this! Great to see more
work being done on the visualisation front.

I'd be very interested to hear how you think Visage compares with Graphite.

Re: Compiling 5.0 on Ubuntu 11.04

if you are compiling from the latests sources, you can still checkout
to the latest but one commit, and try again to build. Pay attention
that clean.sh do not clean everything. you would like to checkout in a
empty directory before building.

Re: Compiling 5.0 on Ubuntu 11.04

I was compiling from the posted 5.00 source tar file.

I will pull down the svn and give it a try.

Thanks,
Bill

I haven't used Visage, but I just watched the video at http://auxesis.github.com/visage/ and already think Visage is one of the best RRD visualizers. I share your opinion that the graphing portion of RRD lacks and I believe your approach of using newer visualizer tools/technology without sacrificing the RRD storage format (for better or worse - the Graphite people have opinions worth reading on that) is worth pursuing.

Visage and Graphite both have interactive graphs, wildcard/dynamic metrics collections/graphing, and the ability to save graphs (all features that I don't want to live without once I've used). However, it appears Graphite still has an edge when it comes to data transformations. With Graphite, you can perform functions on data, such as summing, taking derivatives or integrals, calculate moving average, filter min or max values, etc. This is all done dynamically, of course. If Visage (or any other RRD front-end) could do that, I think it would be on roughly equal ground with Graphite.

Keep up the great work!

Gregory

Re: Compiling 5.0 on Ubuntu 11.04

Hmm, not very familiar with git..

I tried a "git clone git://github.com/octo/collectd.git"
but it didn't have a configure file, so tried with "autoconf"

That didn't work to well either.

The daily builds don't appear to be working.. Is there a recent
daily build somewhere else I could get?

I did see where the supplied iptc was removed.. recently.

Re: Compiling 5.0 on Ubuntu 11.04

try something like:

$clone git://github.com/octo/collectd.git
$cd collectd

now checkout to the lastest but one commit:

$git checkout HEAD^

(yes the "^" is important)

then configure the build system:

$./build.sh

then configure the build itself:

$./configure

build:

$make

install:

sudo make install

If thats still do not build correctly, i notice that build.sh create
the missing files, and if you go back to the latest commit:

$git checkout master

The missing files are now present, and so

$./build.sh

will work again, then you can continue on the configure&make steps.

Hope I helped you,
