*nix data you can collect with collectd in ITSI

You can collect the following metrics data for *nix systems with collectd.

Default dimensions for *nix integrations

These are the default entity-identifying dimensions for each *nix host:

• host
• ip
• kernel_version
• entity_type

Source types for *nix integrations

These are the source types for metrics and log data:

Data type	Source type
Metrics	itsi_im_metrics
Logs	syslog combined_access

Metrics data for *nix integrations

These are the metrics collectd collects for each *nix host:

Log data for *nix integrations

These are the logs a universal forwarder collects for each *nix host by default:

• /etc/collectd/collectd.log
• $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/*.log*
• /var/log/syslog
• /var/log/daemon.log
• /var/log/auth.log
