Stats Collector

This pretend to be the fastest installation guide for stats-collector. There is a couple of subtle things you will not get by this way, but it allows to build a fully working installation.

This documentation is obsolete

The recommended way to install is to use the prebuilt deb & rpm packages

Manager side

gunzip -c rrdUtils-3.1.tar.gz | tar -xf -
cd rrdUtils
./configure --with-rrddir=/stats
make install

gunzip -c stats-station-3.0.tar.gz | tar -xf -
cd stats-station
./configure --with-statsdir=/stats --with-port=666
make install

cd rrdConf
./install_confs.sh
./haz_index.sh -g

The -g flag creates graphs with the html pages, and reduces the number of error messages that haz_index will issue.
The only task that needs to be completed at this point is the periodic graphs generation by a crontab entry that calls the make_graphs.sh script.
Once we start the server using the provided initscript, we get the manager side ready.

Agent side

gunzip -c stats-3.0.tar.gz | tar -xf -
cd stats
./configure --with-host=central.node --with-port=666 \
	--with-statsdir=/usr/local/stats
make install

With a crontab entry to execute the statlaunch script every 15 minutes, the whole system is up and running.
