# collectd-write-qpid-json
A simple [Collectd][cd1] python plugin for writing metrics to an [AMQP
1.0][amqp1] compliant broker in the Collectd [JSON format][cd2] using Apache
Qpid's Messaging Api [python bindings][qpid2].
## But what about the supported AMQP plugin?
Collectd ships with an [AMQP Plugin][cd3] already. However it is based on the
[rabbitmq-c][rmq1] client library. RabbitMQ does not support the AMQP 1.0/0-10
versions of AMQP for whatever reason so I needed something else to talk to
brokers that only support AMQP 1.0/0-10 such as the Apache QPID C++ broker.
## How do I use it?
Configure your collectd.conf something similar to what is below:
```
Globals true
ModulePath "/opt/collectd-write-qpid-json"
Import write_qpid_json
TypesDB "/opt/collectd/share/collectd/types.db"
TypesDB "/opt/collectd/etc/types.db"
Exchange "collectd"
```
Like many plugin's that use collectd's higher level language bindings, this
plugin needs Collectd's [type.db][cd4] so that it can properly provide
additional metadata about each collected value. I couldn't find a decent way to
ask Collectd for this information so you will need to duplicate it here even
though it is higher up in the config tree.
#### Support Options
Option | Default | Description
:------- |:------------ |:-----------
TypesDB | ["/usr/share/collectd/types.db"] | List of TypesDB paths.
Host | "localhost" | Host of the AMQP endpoint.
Port | "5672" | Port that the AMQP endpoint is listening on.
User | "guest" |
Password | "guest" |
Exchange | "amq.fanout" | AMQP address to send messages to.
## Should I use this?
I don't know if you should use it? I'm using it. I'll be responsive
if you have questions, fixes, bugs, if that helps. If you have any of
those you can interact with me via Github or shoot me an email
([email protected]).
