Introduction
A python plugin for integrating collectd and transmission. With this installed, collectd will be querying transmission for the following:
Per session and cumulative:
downloadedBytes
uploadedBytes
filesAdded
secondsActive
General:
activeTorrentCount
blocklist_size
downloadSpeed
uploadSpeed
pausedTorrentCount
torrentCount
and creating the relevant RRD files (or pushing to graphite or whatever you have collectd doing)
Some of these metrics are per session, some session cumulative, some are session independent. Their type ‘current’, ‘cumulative’, ‘general’ is set in the name of the metric
Quick Installation
Debian/Ubuntu assumed. Prereqs installation
apt-get install collectd transmission-daemon python-pipAnd then the actual software
pip install collectd_transmissionConfigure
Insert the following in your collectd.conf:
<Plugin python>
LogTraces false
Interactive false
Import "collectd_transmission"
<Module collectd_transmission>
username "myuser" # Required
password "mypass" # Required
</Module>
</Plugin>
modified accordingly to your needs. Restart collectd and you are done.
There should be rrds for transmission under collectd’s data directory. Most probably that is /var/lib/collectd/rrd/<hostname>/transmission/
