Collectd with logstash and kibana.

Posted on October 6, 2014

I set up a server with Logstash, elasticsearch and Kibana. This functioning normally and sending logs to other servers that central. The problem is I can not send data from CPU, Memory, Disk, etc. to the server. Collectd tried using the servers for sending and receiving client on the monitoring server no longer worked. How to make it work?
