The gmond plugin subscribes to a Multicast group to receive data from gmond, the client daemon of the Ganglia project. These values are mapped to types known to collectd and submitted to the system.

Built-in mappings

To map data collected by Ganglia to collectd's “types”, some additional information is necessary. You can specify this information in the configuration file, but for some common data the appropriate information is already built-in. The Ganglia metrics that are understood without configuration are:

• System load load_one, load_five, load_fifteen
• CPU usage cpu_user, cpu_system, cpu_idle, cpu_nice, cpu_wio
• Memory usage mem_free, mem_shared, mem_buffers, mem_cached, mem_total
• Network traffic (octets) bytes_in, bytes_out
• Network traffic (packets) pkts_in, pkts_out
