| Open vSwitch Events | upstreamed | Plugin provides the OVS link status for interfaces. Plugin will also report vswitch liveliness. | D | P | |
| SNMP write | upstreamed | Plugin will act as a SNMP subagent and will map collectd metrics to relavent OIDs. Will only support SNMP: get, getnext and walk. | E | Q | |
| Legacy/IPMI | upstreamed | Plugin will report platform thermals, voltages, fanspeed.... | E | Q | |
| RAS other errors | Implementation Parsing and filtering utility for logfile implemented https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/2154 - reviewed, reworked and pending further review | Plugin will parse the mcelog/syslog for exceptions that are not memory exceptions. | E | Q | |
| Libvirt extensions | Upstreamed | Extend the libvirt plugin to include all relavent stats and events that are available for a libvirt Domain | E | Q | |
| Python Notification | upstreamed | Extend the python language binding to pass the collectd metadata to write/notification plugins. | E | Q | |
| PMU | upstreamed | Plugin will retirieve performance monitoring units (PMUs) that allow to count and sample a wide variety of events. | E | Q | |
| PCIe AER | https://github.com/maryamtahhan/collectd/tree/feat_pcie_errors | Plugin will poll PCI config space for baseline and AER errors. It will also parse syslog for AER events. Any errors to be reported via notifications. | E | Q | |
| VES Collectd Agent update schema 5.1 | Merged to Batometer Repo | E | |||
| OVS events Make the polling option configurable | upstreamed | E | |||
| mcelog updates | add a persist option for events - implemented - Pending Manual Test send corrected and uncorrected errors in separate notifications with different severity Merged to master | E | |||
| dpdkstat bugfixing | Enable all ports - default config - Done | E | |||
| Collectd extension | Internal protocol Extension - PUT to send commands to teh daemon New plugin registration function Dynamic Plugin - Load/unload Internal code review completed, manual testing to be scheduled prior to upstreaming
| E | |||
| QAT | Looking to leverage existing PCIe AER plugin to report QAT errors | Error reporting from Accelerator | E | ||
| Collectd RPM build | Merged | Will provide a base for the Apex installer work | E | ||
| OpenStack Boston Demo | Complete | Noisy Neighbour detection a collaboration with Intel RDT and Vitrage | |||
| Libvirt Plugin bugfixes | In progress | Domain restart causing incorrect CPU utilization Values to be reported inconsistency in memory metrics reported by libvirt and virsh | |||
| DPDK events bugfixes | Merged to collectd master | Reconnect to DPDK primary wrong plugin config issues respawn secondary after primary restart | |||
| Container /Cadvisor Support | Looking at integrating with Prometheus. Investigating events support. | ||||
| Process Monitoring | Design Ready | Add a method which will accept a userspace process name as a parameter and return its pid | |||
| OVS with DPDK PMD stats | Merged to barometer repo | Creating a script that will pull OVS-with-dpdk PMD stats and publish them to collectd. these stats are not retrievable through the OVSDB - but should be in the future - which is why this integration is stand alone for now | |||
| OVS Multi Instance Support | Pull request created: https://github.com/maryamtahhan/collectd/tree/feat_ovs_multi_instance | OvS DB multi-instance support for ovs_event/ovs_stats plugins | |||
| CI build | automated, RPMs generated nightly and pushed to http://artifacts.opnfv.org/barometer.html | ||||
| Add PMU build to src/ | Under Review | ||||
| Create a docker image for barometer | In progress | ||||
| Integrate with Apex | Integrated with 2 scenarios | ||||
| VES Kafka integration | Separate out VES collectd application from collectd so that it can be apache licensed, and use a kafka bus to send info from collectd to this VES collector... | ||||
| VES configuration through a schema | Under internal review | ||||
| Event-based, interface monitor | Pull Request created: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/2407 | This plugin monitors an ethernet interface or group of ethernet interfaces and reports link status changes. The plugin does not poll for link status but rather recieves status events eliminating the polling overhead. Detection times vary by device driver, but typical detection times are below 10ms. |
