Chef cookbook that creates a collectd write_graphite plugin

Requirements

collectd-cookbook

Usage

include collectd-graphite in your role's run_list and define node[:collectd][:write_graphite] attributes. node[:collectd][:write_graphite] will be rendered as is, so you can add or change attributes as defined here

{
  "name": "collectd_server",
  "collectd": {
    "write_graphite": {
      "Host": "localhost",
      "Port": "2003",
      "Prefix": "collectd.",
      "EscapeCharacter": "_",
      "StoreRates": true,
      "AlwaysAppendDS": true
    }
  }
}

will create a write_graphite.conf with the content

$ cat /etc/collectd/plugins/write_graphite.conf
#
# This file is generated by Chef
# Do not edit, changes will be overwritten
#
LoadPlugin "write_graphite"

 <Carbon>
  Host "localhost"
  Port "2003"
  Prefix "collectd."
  EscapeCharacter "_"
  StoreRates true

</Plugin>
