Set up an external collectd server

If you haven't already set up an external collectd server, you will need to do so before enabling collectd forwarding on sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server. Your collectd server must be running collectd version 5.x or higher.

  1. Log into your collectd server.
  2. Create or edit the collectd configuration file to load the network plugin and populate the server and port directives with the proper values. On most distributions, this is located at /etc/collectd/collectd.conf

An example collectd.conf to run a collectd server:

LoadPlugin network
...
...
<Plugin network>
    Listen "0.0.0.0" "25826"
</Plugin>

Enabling collectd forwarding on GitHub Enterprise

By default, collectd forwarding is disabled on GitHub Enterprise. Follow the steps below to enable and configure collectd forwarding:

  1. Em uma conta administrativa no GitHub Enterprise Server, no canto superior direito de qualquer página, clique em .

  2. Se você ainda não estiver na página "Administração do site", no canto superior esquerdo, clique em Administração do site.

  3. Na barra lateral " Site admin", clique em Console de Gerenciamento.

  4. Below the log forwarding settings, select Enable collectd forwarding.

  5. In the Server address field, type the address of the collectd server to which you'd like to forward GitHub Enterprise appliance statistics.

  6. In the Port field, type the port used to connect to the collectd server. (Defaults to 25826)

  7. In the Cryptographic setup dropdown menu, select the security level of communications with the collectd server. (None, signed packets, or encrypted packets.)

  8. Na barra lateral "Configurações", clique em Salvar configurações.

    Observação

    Se você salvar as configurações no Console de Gerenciamento, isso reiniciará os serviços do sistema, o que poderá resultar em tempo de inatividade visível pelo usuário.

  9. Aguarde a conclusão da execução de suas configurações.

Troubleshooting

Central collectd server receives no data

GitHub Enterprise ships with collectd version 5.x. collectd 5.x is not backwards compatible with the 4.x release series. Your central collectd server needs to be at least version 5.x to accept data sent from sua instância do GitHub Enterprise Server.
