I keep going back-and-forth on whether or not collectd should run in a container on Fedora CoreOS machines. On the one hand, running it directly on the host allows it to monitor filesystem usage by mount point, which is consistent with how non-FCOS machines are monitored. On the other hand, installing packages on FCOS with `rpm-ostree` is a nightmare. It's _incredibly_ slow. There's also occasionally issues installing packages if the base layer has not been updated in a while and the new packages require an existing package to be updated. For the NUT server specifically, I have changed my mind again: the *collectd-nut* package depends on *nut-client*, which in turn depends on Python. I definitely want to avoid installing Python on the host, but I do not want to lose the ability to monitor the UPSs via collectd. Using a container, I can strip out the unnecessary bits of *nut-client* and avoid installing Python at all. I think that's worth having to monitor filesystem usage by device instead of by mount point. |
