Configuration

Configuration options · from collectd.conf(5)

See this section in the full configuration reference

This plugin collects the CPU user/system time for each cgroup by reading the cpuacct.stat files in the first cpuacct-mountpoint (typically /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.cpuacct on machines using systemd).

CGroup Directory

Select cgroup based on the name. Whether only matching cgroups are collected or if they are ignored is controlled by the IgnoreSelected option; see below.

See /"IGNORELISTS" for details.

IgnoreSelected true|false
Invert the selection: If set to true, all cgroups except the ones that match any one of the criteria are collected. By default only selected cgroups are collected if a selection is made. If no selection is configured at all, all cgroups are selected.
