Title: Collectd and openvpn stats
Post by: fabio on October 01, 2017, 01:16:20 pm

Hi
I would like to collect openvpn stats via collectd so I've manually added:

Code: [Select]

LoadPlugin openvpn
<Plugin openvpn>
 StatusFile "/var/run/openvpn-status.log"
 CollectIndividualUsers true
 CollectUserCount true
 CollectCompression true
 ImprovedNamingSchema false
</Plugin>to my /usr/local/etc/collectd.conf

and

Code: [Select]

status /var/run/openvpn-status.log

in the Advanced field of "VPN: OpenVPN: Servers"

This seems works fine so I'm asking you, if it's possibile, to add an "Advanced" field also in collectd
field simply appended to /usr/local/etc/collectd.conf


Thank you for all your great work and sorry if I've only requests and not code

if this gets added to the core package with an automatically generated name, extending the plugin would be simple. You may want to add a feature request on the plugins and the core package on GitHub
