In this setup we're using rrdtool to collect data from several openvz hardware nodes to a central rrd server.

Setting up rrd server[edit]

Create a directory /var/rrd on central server.

mkdir /var/rrd

In /etc/xinetd.d create a file rrdsrv and adjust addresses and paths according to local settings.

service rrdsrv
{
  disable         = no
  socket_type     = stream
  protocol        = tcp
  wait            = no
  user            = root
  only_from       = 192.168.2.0/24
  server          = /usr/bin/rrdtool
  server_args     = - /var/rrd
}

Add 'rrdsrv' to /etc/services

rrdsrv                13900/tcp


Collect script[edit]

Put the following script on the openvz hardware nodes (ubc_rrd_collect.sh):

#!/bin/sh

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
SENDCOMMAND='netcat 192.168.2.1 13900'
HEARTBEAT=600

function error {
        echo $1
        exit 1
}

test -r /proc/bc/0/resources || error "Not openvz kernel?"

command='cat'
init=0
update=0
send=0

while [ ! -z "$1" ]; do
        case "$1" in
                send)
                        send=1
                        command=$SENDCOMMAND
                        ;;
                init)
                        init=1
                        ;;
                update)
                        update=1
                        ;;
        esac
        shift
done

VPSIDS=$(vzlist -H -o veid)

PARAMS=$(cat /proc/bc/0/resources | awk '{ print $1 }'| sort -u | xargs)
if [ "$send" -eq 1 ]; then
        # to spread the load we sleep for a random while (between 0 and 60 sec)
        number=$RANDOM
        let "number %= 60"
        sleep $number
fi

for VPSID in $VPSIDS; do
       RRDFILENAME="ubc_${VPSID}.rrd" 

        if [ "$init" -eq 1 ]; then
                exists=0
                if [ "$send" -eq 1 ]; then
                        echo "info $RRDFILENAME" | $command | grep -q "No such file or directory" || exists=1
                fi      
                
                if [ "$exists" -eq 0 ]; then

Usage[edit]

ubc_rrd_collect.sh [update] [init] [send]

  update - run this to update rrd files
  init   - scan system and create rrd files
  send   - use this to send commands to rddtool

Migration and new container[edit]

When you have this script running in cron on every hardware node and you're migrating a container from one node to the other the script will automatically detect this and pick it up on the other node.

When you create a new container you have to run ubc_rrd_collect.sh init send and it will ping rddtool to create a new rrd database. It won't overwrite existing databases because it first checks if a database already exists.

Setting up cron[edit]

Run update every 5 minutes:

*/5     *       *       *       *       /path/to/ubc_rrd_collect.sh update send | grep -v '^OK'

Run init every hour (or run it manually when needed):

0       *       *       *       *       /path/to/ubc_rrd_collect.sh init send | grep -v '^OK'
