Host Directory

Host directory collector is used to collect directory files, such as the number of files, all file sizes, etc.

Configuration

Go to the conf.d/host directory under the DataKit installation directory, copy hostdir.conf.sample and name it hostdir.conf. Examples are as follows:

[[inputs.hostdir]]
  interval = "10s"

  # directory to collect
  # Windows example: C:\\Users
  # UNIX-like example: /usr/local/
  dir = "" # required

  # optional, i.e., "*.exe", "*.so"
  exclude_patterns = []

[inputs.hostdir.tags]
  # some_tag = "some_value"
  # more_tag = "some_other_value"

Once configured, restart DataKit.

The collector can now be turned on by ConfigMap injection collector configuration.

Metric

For all of the following metric sets, a global tag named host is appended by default (the tag value is the host name of the DataKit), or other tags can be specified in the configuration by [inputs.hostdir.tags]:

 [inputs.hostdir.tags]
  # some_tag = "some_value"
  # more_tag = "some_other_value"
  # ...
