			==Config file==

			The config file is located in <code>/etc/collectd.conf</code>

			The file is extremely detailed and extensively documented (sometimes this can be worse than no documentation - I mean, who the hell's going to read through a 1,000 line configuration file???). The section we're interested in is the section <code><Plugin></code>.

			<pre>
			<Plugin "write_mongodb">
			<Node "default">
			Host "localhost"
			Port "27017"
			Timeout 2000
			StoreRates true
			</Node>
			</Plugin>

			This registers a new writer called <code>write_mongodb/localhost</code>

			===Logging===

			To turn on logging (to see what's going on if the plugin is not working),

			<pre>
			<Plugin logfile>
			LogLevel "info"
			File "/var/log/collectd.log"
			Timestamp true
			PrintSeverity false
			</Plugin>
			</pre>

			===Error===

			If you see this error in the log:

			<pre>
			plugin_load: Could not find plugin "write_mongodb" in /usr/lib/collectd
			</pre>

			it means you have to compile collectd from SOURCE to include the plugin.

			==Data Format==

			Here is the data format that is used by collectd to store its data in MongoDB:

			<pre>

			/* Collection "collectd.${plugin}" = */
			{
			"time": 1330940612.932, /* BSON date (UTC milliseconds) */
			"host": "localhost", /* string */
			"plugin_instance": "", /* string */
			"type": "load", /* string */
			"type_instance": "", /* string */
			"values": [ /* array of numbers */
			0.42, 0.37, 0.11
			],
			"dstypes": [ /* array of strings */
			"gauge", "gauge", "gauge"
			],
			"dsnames": [ /* array of strings */
			"shortterm", "midterm", "longterm"
			]
			}

			</pre>

			==Setup==

			Revisiting [[Collectd]], you should have collectd installed via your package manager, or installed from source.

			The collectd service runs as a daemon, and it reads from a config file when it starts up, so you control collectd by editing the config file.
