collectd can operate in three different operating modes. The modes are
described below.
collectd can operate in four different operating modes. The modes are described
below.
The simplest mode is the so called B<local mode>. Data is collected locally and
written in RRD files that reside in I<DataDir>. This is the default mode when
collectd is linked against C<librrd>.
The other modes, B<client mode> and B<server mode>, are used to send data over
a network and receive it again.
The modes B<client mode> and B<server mode> are used to send data over a
network and receive it again.
In B<client mode> the daemon collects the data locally and sends its results
to one or more network addresses. No RRD files are written in this case. This
is the only mode available if collectd is not linked against C<librrd>.
to one or more network addresses. No RRD files are written locally in this
case. If collectd is not linked against C<librrd> this is the default mode.
If started in B<server mode> the daemon will listen on one or more interfaces
and write the data it receives to RRD files. No data is collected locally.
