# netdata python.d.plugin configuration for openvpn status log # # This file is in YaML format. Generally the format is: # # name: value # # There are 2 sections: # - global variables # - one or more JOBS # # JOBS allow you to collect values from multiple sources. # Each source will have its own set of charts. # # JOB parameters have to be indented (using spaces only, example below). # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Global Variables # These variables set the defaults for all JOBs, however each JOB # may define its own, overriding the defaults. # update_every sets the default data collection frequency. # If unset, the python.d.plugin default is used. # update_every: 1 # priority controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. # Lower numbers move the charts towards the top of the page. # If unset, the default for python.d.plugin is used. # priority: 60000 # retries sets the number of retries to be made in case of failures. # If unset, the default for python.d.plugin is used. # Attempts to restore the service are made once every update_every # and only if the module has collected values in the past. # retries: 5 # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # JOBS (data collection sources) # # The default JOBS share the same *name*. JOBS with the same name # are mutually exclusive. Only one of them will be allowed running at # any time. This allows autodetection to try several alternatives and # pick the one that works. # # Any number of jobs is supported. # # All python.d.plugin JOBS (for all its modules) support a set of # predefined parameters. These are: # # job_name: # name: myname # the JOB's name as it will appear at the # # dashboard (by default is the job_name) # # JOBs sharing a name are mutually exclusive # update_every: 1 # the JOB's data collection frequency # priority: 60000 # the JOB's order on the dashboard # retries: 5 # the JOB's number of restoration attempts # # Additionally to the above, openvpn status log also supports the following: # # log_path: 'PATH' # the path to openvpn status log file # # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # AUTO-DETECTION JOBS # only one of them will run (they have the same name) # # IMPORTANT information # # 1. If you are running multiple OpenVPN instances out of the same directory, MAKE SURE TO EDIT DIRECTIVES which create output files # so that multiple instances do not overwrite each other's output files. # 2. Make sure NETDATA USER CAN READ openvpn-status.log # # * cd into directory with openvpn-status.log and run the following commands as root # * #chown :netdata openvpn-status.log && chmod 640 openvpn-status.log # * To check permission and group membership run # * #ls -l openvpn-status.log # -rw-r----- 1 root netdata 359 dec 21 21:22 openvpn-status.log # # 3. Update_every interval MUST MATCH interval on which OpenVPN writes operational status to log file. # If its not true traffic chart WILL DISPLAY WRONG values # # Default OpenVPN update interval is 10 second on Debian 8 # # ps -C openvpn -o command= # /usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon ovpn-server --status /run/openvpn/server.status 10 --cd /etc/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf # # #default: # log_path: '/var/log/openvpn-status.log'
