Collectd

System statistics collection daemon with many plugins

About Collectd

A daemon that collects system and application performance metrics periodically and stores or forwards them to graphing and monitoring systems, with a large plugin ecosystem for diverse data sources. Because the code is openly available, it can be audited, extended and run on private infrastructure, which makes it attractive to teams with privacy or compliance needs. It is commonly adopted through containers or packages, evaluated against commercial alternatives and kept because it solves a focused problem reliably at scale.
