## Components
|
|
|
|
### Client / Agent
|
|
|
|
Runs on your hosts and collects metrics, which are sent to the central *server*.
|
|
|
|
[More information](client/README.md).
|
|
|
|
### Plugins
|
|
|
|
Loaded by the *client* and provides extensions for doing the actual collecting of metrics.
|
|
|
|
[More information](plugins/README.md).
|
|
|
|
### Server
|
|
|
|
Receives aggregated metrics from *clients* and saves these into InfluxDB.
|
|
|
|
[More information](server/README.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Known problems
|
|
|
|
### Correct timezone and clock
|
|
|
|
- Ensure you have **correct timezone and date/time** and NTPd (or similar) running to keep it accurate!
|
|
|
|
### Naming collision
|
|
|
|
You can't have hosts with the same name, as these cannot be distinguished when metrics are
|
|
written to InfluxDB (which uses the hostname as key).
|
|
|
|
### Renaming hosts
|
|
|
|
If you rename a host, the metrics in InfluxDB will still be available by the old hostname, and new metrics will be written with the new hostname. There is no easy way to migrate the old data, but you can delete it easily:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
USE sysmon;
|
|
DELETE WHERE hostname = 'unknown';
|
|
```
