List of Plugins

collectd-solusvm-bw.sh is a shell script which read bandwidth statistics from SolusVM, a common platform for VPS providers. The script requires the Exec plugin, curl and grep with -P (--perl-regexp support) to run and was written by Fredrik Lundhag.

Synopsis

To use this script, do the following:

• Download or copy the gist collectd-solusvm-bw.sh from GitHub into /etc/collectd.
• Enable API in the VPS SolusVM control panel, then copy your API key + hash and put them into the script together with the path to the API.
• I recommend you to run the script manually first to make sure that the output looks correct and that the API URL works.
• Add the section below the configuration of the Exec plugin:

LoadPlugin exec
<Plugin exec>
    Exec <user>[:group] "/etc/collectd/collectd-solusvm-bw.sh" 
</Plugin>
