collectd
The system statistics collection daemon
collectd is an open-source daemon written in C that periodically collects system and application performance metrics from a wide variety of sources. It supports over 100 plugins and can store data in formats like RRD files or forward it over the network. It is designed for high performance and portability, including use on embedded systems and home routers.
collectd runs as a background daemon, gathering metrics from the OS, applications, log files, and external devices via plugins, then stores or forwards the data for monitoring and analysis.
