## collectd

### Forwarding collectd metrics to another collectd instance

You need to add on destination collectd instance:

```
LoadPlugin network

<Plugin network>
        <Listen "LISTENIP" "25826">
                SecurityLevel Encrypt
                AuthFile "/etc/collectd/passwd"
        </Listen>
</Plugin>
```
In /etc/colllectd/passwd you need to add user and password for source collectd instance:

```
user:password
user2:password2
```

Source collectd instance:

```
LoadPlugin network

<Plugin network>
        <Server "DESTINATIONIP" "25826">
                SecurityLevel Encrypt
                Username "user"
                Password "password"
        </Server>
</Plugin>
```
