Building the cc-metric-collector

In most cases, a simple make in the main folder is enough to get a cc-metric-collector binary. It is basically a go build but some collectors require additional tasks. There is currently no Golang interface to LIKWID, so it uses cgo to create bindings but cgo requires the LIKWID header files. Therefore, it checks whether LIKWID is installed and if not it downloads LIKWID and copies the headers.

System integration

The main configuration settings for system integration are pre-defined in scripts/cc-metric-collector.config. The file contains the UNIX user and group used for execution, the PID file location and other settings. Adjust it accordingly and copy it to /etc/default/cc-metric-collector

$ install --mode 644 \
          --owner $CC_USER \
          --group $CC_GROUP \
          scripts/cc-metric-collector.config /etc/default/cc-metric-collector
$ edit /etc/default/cc-metric-collector

SysVinit and similar

If you are using a init system based in /etc/init.d daemons, you can use the sample scripts/cc-metric-collector.init. It reads the basic configuration from /etc/default/cc-metric-collector

$ install --mode 755 \
          --owner $CC_USER \
          --group $CC_GROUP \
          scripts/cc-metric-collector.init /etc/init.d/cc-metric-collector

Systemd

If you are using systemd as init system, you can use the sample systemd service file scripts/cc-metric-collector.service, the configuration file scripts/cc-metric-collector.config.

$ install --mode 644  \
          --owner $CC_USER \
          --group $CC_GROUP \
           scripts/cc-metric-collector.service /etc/systemd/system/cc-metric-collector.service
$ systemctl enable cc-metric-collector

Packaging

RPM

In order to get a RPM packages for cc-metric-collector, just use:

$ make RPM

It uses the RPM SPEC file scripts/cc-metric-collector.spec and requires the RPM tools (rpm and rpmspec) and git.

DEB

In order to get very simple Debian packages for cc-metric-collector, just use:

$ make DEB

It uses the DEB control file scripts/cc-metric-collector.control and requires dpkg-deb, awk, sed and git. It creates only a binary deb package.

This option is not well tested and therefore experimental

Customizing RPMs or DEB packages

If you want to customize the RPMs or DEB packages for your local system, use the following workflow.

(if there is already a fork in the private account, delete it and wait until Github realizes the deletion)
Fork the cc-metric-collector repository (if Github hasn't realized it, it creates a fork named cc-metric-collector2)
Go to private cc-metric-collector repository and enable Github Actions
Do changes to the scripts, code, ... Commit and push your changes.
Tag the new commit with v0.x.y-<myversion> (git tag v0.x.y-<myversion>)
Push tags to repository (git push --tags)
Wait until the Release action finishes. It creates fresh RPMs and DEBs in your private repository on the Releases page.
