Documentation does not address new configuration file #325

Closed Andi24 closed 8 years ago

Andi24 commented 8 years ago

I had a look in your commit history and saw that you removed the field on purpose, though the documentation has not been updated on where the host should be set now (not to mention that it still says you should find the startstop script, not look in the tcollector script).

Also, can tcollector be integrated to collect statsd metrics from a service?

Cheers!

Yes, it's very serious that the tool is totally not functional now and there is nothing mentioned in any doc!

RuralHunter commented 8 years ago

well, I found where to configure the opentsdb server address. It's in collectors/etc/config.py

I need to update the documentation, I'm going to work on getting the next minor release out with these fixes. Configuration works like this now, the first step is to load the defaults from the configuration file. If that fails, it will load the hard-coded defaults. Once defaults have been loaded, it will parse the command line options.

This makes it easier to manage the configuration with a CM setup, like Puppet or similar while still allowing folks to use the command line arguments.
