*nix data you can collect with collectd in ITE Work

You can collect the following metrics data for *nix systems with collectd.

Default dimensions for *nix integrations

These are the default entity-identifying dimensions for each *nix host:

  • host
  • ip
  • kernel_version
  • entity_type

Source types for *nix integrations

These are the source types for metrics and log data:

Data type Source type
Metrics
  • itsi_im_metrics
Logs
  • syslog
  • combined_access
