Each line consists of two fields delimited by spaces and/or horizontal tabs. The first field defines the name of the data-set, while the second field defines a list of data-source specifications, delimited by spaces and, optionally, a comma (\*(L",\*(R") right after each list-entry. .PP The format of the data-source specification has been inspired by RRDtool's data-source specification. Each data-source is defined by a quadruple made up of the data-source name, type, minimal and maximal values, delimited by colons (\*(L":\*(R"): \fIds-name\fR:\fIds-type\fR:\fImin\fR:\fImax\fR. \fIds-type\fR may be either \&\fB\s-1ABSOLUTE\s0\fR, \fB\s-1COUNTER\s0\fR, \fB\s-1DERIVE\s0\fR, or \fB\s-1GAUGE\s0\fR. \fImin\fR and \fImax\fR define the range of valid values for data stored for this data-source. If \fBU\fR is specified for either the min or max value, it will be set to unknown, meaning that no range checks will happen. See \fBrrdcreate\fR\|(1) for more details. .SH "FILES" .IX Header "FILES" The location of the types.db file is defined by the \fBTypesDB\fR configuration option (see \fBcollectd.conf\fR\|(5)). It defaults to collectd's shared data directory, i.\ e. \fI\fIprefix\fI/share/collectd/\fR. .SH "CUSTOM TYPES" .IX Header "CUSTOM TYPES" If you want to specify custom types, you should do so by specifying a custom file in addition to the default one (see \s-1FILES\s0) above. You can do that by having multiple \fBTypesDB\fR statements in your configuration file or by specifying more than one file in one line. .PP For example: .PP .Vb 2 \& TypesDB "/opt/collectd/share/collectd/types.db" \& TypesDB "/opt/collectd/etc/types.db.custom" .Ve .PP \&\fBNote\fR: Make sure to make this file available on all systems if you're sending values over the network. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBcollectd\fR\|(1), \&\fBcollectd.conf\fR\|(5), \&\fBrrdcreate\fR\|(1) .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" \&\fBcollectd\fR has been written by Florian Forster . .PP This manpage has been written by Sebastian Harl .
