Collectd with Docker

Collectd container with docker-collectd-plugin.

This uses the Docker API to report stats for each container on the host.

The following container stats are reported:

• Network bandwidth
• Memory usage
• CPU usage
• Block IO

The name of the container is used for the plugin_instance dimension.

In this setup, Collectd is configured to send data to a Logstash instance.
