See the +`Collectd metric reference`_ reference for more details. -A good example of collectD notification is monitoring of the total CPU usage on a VM -using the 'threshold' plugin. The following configuration will setup VES plugin to send 'Fault' -event every time a total VM CPU value is out of range (e.g.: WARNING: VM CPU TOTAL > 50%, -CRITICAL: VM CPU TOTAL > 96%) and send 'Fault' NORMAL event if the CPU value is back -to normal. In the example below, there is one VM with two CPUs configured which is running -on the host with a total of 48 cores. Thus, the threshold value 2.08 (100/48) means that -one CPU of the VM is fully loaded (e.g.: 50% of total CPU usage of the VM) and 4.0 means -96% of total CPU usage of the VM. Those values can also be obtained by virt-top -command line tool. +.. note:: The `collectd data types file`_ contains map of ``type`` to + ``ds_name`` field.

The format of the reference +is the following: + +.. code:: yaml + + "{<ref type>.<attribute name>}" + +.. note:: Possible values for ``<ref type>`` and ``<attribute name>`` are + described in farther sections. + + +System reference +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This reference is used to get system statistics like time, date etc. The system +reference (``<ref type>`` = ``system``) can be used in any place of the YAML +configuration file. This type of reference provides the following attributes: + +``hostname`` + The name of the host where VES application is running. + +``id`` + Unique ID during VES application runtime. + +``time`` + Current time in seconds since the Epoch. For example ``1509641411.631951``. + +``date`` + Current date in ISO 8601 format, ``YYYY-MM-DD``. For instance ``2017-11-02``. + + +For example: + +.. code:: yaml + + Date: "{system.date}" + + +Config reference +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This reference is used to get VES configuration described in `VES application +configuration description`_ sectoin. The reference (``<ref type>`` = ``config``) +can be used in any place of the YAML configuration file. This type of reference +provides the following attributes: + +``interval`` + Measurements dispatch interval. It referenses to ``SendEventInterval`` + configuration of the VES application. + + +For example: + +.. code:: yaml + + Interval: "{config.interval}" + + +Collectd metric reference +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This reference is used to get the attribute value of collectd metric from the +VES cache. The reference (``<ref type>`` = ``vl``) can be used ONLY inside +``Measurements``, ``ValueItem`` and ``ArrayItem`` tags. Using the reference +inside a helper tag is also allowed if the helper tag is located inside the +tag where the reference is allowed (e.g.: ``ArrayItem``). The +``<attribute name>`` name corresponds to the table field name described in +`Collectd metrics in VES`_ section. For example: + +.. code:: yaml + + name: "{vl.type}-{vl.type_instance}" + + +Collectd notification reference +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This reference is used to get the attribute value of received collectd +notification. The reference (``<ref type>`` = ``n``) can be used ONLY inside +``Events`` tag. Using the reference inside a helper tag is also allowed if +the helper tag is located inside the ``Events`` tag. This type of reference +provides the following attributes: + +``host`` + The hostname of received collectd notification. + +``plugin`` + The plugin name of received collectd notification. + +``plugin_instance`` + The plugin instance of the received collectd notification. + +``type`` + The type name of the received collectd notification. + +``type_instance`` + The type instance of the received collectd notification. + +``severity`` + The severity of the received collectd notification. + +``message`` + The message of the received collectd notification. + + +.. note:: The exact value for each attribute depends on the collectd plugin + which may generate the notification.

It's +allowed to be used multiple times in the document (e.g.: you can define multiple +VES messages in one YAML document). This tag works in the same way as `ArrayItem +tag`_ does and all keys have the same description/rules. + + +ValueItem tag +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This tag is used to select a collectd metric and get its attribute value using +`Collectd metric reference`_. The type of this tag is a YAML array of maps with +the possible keys described below. + +``SELECT`` (required) + Is a YAML map which describes the select metric criteria. Each key name of the + map must correspond to the table field name described in `Collectd metrics in VES`_ + section. + +``VALUE`` (optional) + Describes the value to be assigned. If not provided, the default + ``!Number "{vl.value}"`` expression is used. + +``DEFAULT`` (optional) + Describes the default value which will be assigned if no metric is selected + by ``SELECT`` criteria. + + +ValueItem tag description example: + +.. code:: yaml + + memoryFree: !ValueItem + - SELECT: + plugin: memory + type: memory + type_instance: rss + - VALUE: !Bytes2Kibibytes "{vl.value}" + - DEFAULT: 0 + +The tag process workflow is described on the figure below. + +.. figure:: value-item-parse-workflow.png + + YAML ValueItem tag process workflow + + +ArrayItem tag +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This tag is used to select a list of collectd metrics and generate a YAML array +of YAML items described by ``ITEM-DESC`` key.

For example: + + .. code:: yaml + + plugin: "/^(?!virt).*$/" # selected all metrics except ``virt`` plugin + + The VES application uses the python RE library to work with regular + expression specified in the YAML configuration.
