Grafana - Collectd - GenericJMX as metric name

I'm trying to organize my metrics into grafana with collectd.

When I use the GenericJMX plugin collectd includes GenericJMX as part of the metric name.

Query Grafana

How do I configure collectd to not include GenericJMX?

Solution

  • You might work with a rename rule like this:

    <Chain "PreCache">
    <Rule "rename_jmx">
        <Match "regex">
            Plugin "^GenericJMX$"
        </Match>
        <Target "set">
            Plugin "java"
        </Target>
    </Rule>
</Chain>

    This will rename 'GenericJMX' to 'java'.

    Hope it helps!
