# CCMetric collectors
This folder contains the collectors for the cc-metric-collector.
# Configuration
```json
{
"collector_type" : {
<collector specific configuration>
}
}
```
In contrast to the configuration files for sinks and receivers, the collectors configuration is not a list but a set of dicts. This is required because we didn't manage to partially read the type before loading the remaining configuration. We are eager to change this to the same format.
# Available collectors
* [`cpustat`](./cpustatMetric.md)
* [`memstat`](./memstatMetric.md)
* [`diskstat`](./diskstatMetric.md)
* [`loadavg`](./loadavgMetric.md)
* [`netstat`](./netstatMetric.md)
* [`ibstat`](./infinibandMetric.md)
* [`tempstat`](./tempMetric.md)
* [`lustre`](./lustreMetric.md)
* [`likwid`](./likwidMetric.md)
* [`nvidia`](./nvidiaMetric.md)
* [`customcmd`](./customCmdMetric.md)
* [`ipmistat`](./ipmiMetric.md)
* [`topprocs`](./topprocsMetric.md)
## Todos
* [ ] Exclude devices for `diskstat` collector
* [ ] Aggreate metrics to higher topology entity (sum hwthread metrics to socket metric, ...). Needs to be configurable
# Contributing own collectors
A collector reads data from any source, parses it to metrics and submits these metrics to the `metric-collector`. A collector provides three function:
* `Name() string`: Return the name of the collector
* `Init(config json.RawMessage) error`: Initializes the collector using the given collector-specific config in JSON. Check if needed files/commands exists, ...
* `Initialized() bool`: Check if a collector is successfully initialized
* `Read(duration time.Duration, output chan ccMetric.CCMetric)`: Read, parse and submit data to the `output` channel as [`CCMetric`](../internal/ccMetric/README.md). If the collector has to measure anything for some duration, use the provided function argument `duration`.
* `Close()`: Closes down the collector.
It is recommanded to call `setup()` in the `Init()` function.
Finally, the collector needs to be registered in the `collectorManager.go`. There is a list of collectors called `AvailableCollectors` which is a map (`collector_type_string` -> `pointer to MetricCollector interface`). Add a new entry with a descriptive name and the new collector.
## Sample collector
```go
package collectors
import (
"encoding/json"
"time"
lp "github.com/ClusterCockpit/cc-metric-collector/internal/ccMetric"
)
// Struct for the collector-specific JSON config
type SampleCollectorConfig struct {
ExcludeMetrics []string `json:"exclude_metrics"`
}
type SampleCollector struct {
metricCollector
config SampleCollectorConfig
}
func (m *SampleCollector) Init(config json.RawMessage) error {
// Check if already initialized
if m.init {
return nil
}
m.name = "SampleCollector"
m.setup()
if len(config) > 0 {
err := json.Unmarshal(config, &m.config)
if err != nil {
return err
}
}
m.meta = map[string]string{"source": m.name, "group": "Sample"}
m.init = true
return nil
}
func (m *SampleCollector) Read(interval time.Duration, output chan lp.CCMetric) {
if !m.init {
return
}
// tags for the metric, if type != node use proper type and type-id
tags := map[string]string{"type" : "node"}
// Each metric has exactly one field: value !
value := map[string]interface{}{"value": int(x)}
y, err := lp.New("sample_metric", tags, m.meta, value, time.Now())
if err == nil {
output <- y
}
}
func (m *SampleCollector) Close() {
m.init = false
return
}
```
