+
+Plugin verification
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Once collectd has been installed and deployed, you will see metrics from most plugins immediately. However, in some cases, you may want to verify that the configuration is correct and that the plugion is functioning as intended (particularly during development, or when testing an experimental version). The following sections provide some verification steps to make sure the plugins are working as expected.
+
+MCElog
+^^^^^^
+On the collectd host, you can induce an event monitored by the plugins; e.g. a corrected memory error:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+ $ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/cpu/mce/mce-inject.git
+ $ cd mce-inject
+ $ make
+ $ modprobe mce-inject
+
+Modify the test/corrected script to include the following:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+ CPU 0 BANK 0
+ STATUS 0xcc00008000010090
+ ADDR 0x0010FFFFFFF
+
+Inject the error:

+Barometer post installation verification on barometer-collectd container
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The following steps describe how to perform simple "manual" testing of the Barometer components
+after :ref:`successfully deploying the barometer-collectd container<barometer-docker-userguide>`:
+
+1. Connect to any compute node and ensure that the collectd container is running.
+
+ .. code:: bash
+
+ root@host2:~# docker ps | grep collectd
+
+ You should see the container ``opnfv/barometer-collectd`` running.
+
+2. Use a web browser to connect to Grafana at ``http://<serverip>:3000/``, using the hostname or
+ IP of your server and port 3000. Log in with admin/admin. You will see ``collectd``
+ InfluxDB database in the ``Data Sources``. Also, you will notice metrics coming in the several
+ dashboards such as ``CPU Usage`` and ``Host Overview``.
+
+For more details on the Barometer containers, Grafana and InfluxDB, please refer to
+the following documentation links:
