https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/collectd-gnocchi.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/dm/collectd-gnocchi.svg

This is an output plugin for collectd that send metrics to Gnocchi. It will create a resource type named _collectd_ (by default) and a new resource for each of the host monitored.

Each host will have a list of metrics created dynamically using the following name convention:

In order for the metric to be created correctly, be sure that you have matching archive policies rules.
