Configuring intel_rdt for collectd

[shubhaj]

Hi there,

I'm new to collectd and have really been struggling with the documentation and finding necessary files. I'm trying to use collectd to pull Memory Bandwidth data through the intel_rdt plugin. I use yum as my package manager here. Things I've done to get this working include:

1. run: yum install collectd

2. edited my configuration (collectd.conf) file as such:

   Interval 60
   FQDNLookup false
   
   LoadPlugin logfile
   LoadPlugin intel_rdt
   LoadPlugin csv
   
   <Plugin "logfile">
     LogLevel "info"
     File "/var/log/collectd.log"
     Timestamp true
   </Plugin>
   
   <Plugin "intel_rdt">
     Cores ""
   </Plugin>
   
   <Plugin "csv">
     DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/csv"
     StoreRates true
   </Plugin>
   

3. run: yum install intel-cmt-cat, the only dependency for the collectd intel_rdt plugin

4. run service collectd start

However, this results in the following error in the log: owing error in the log:
Found a configuration for the intel_rdt plugin, but the plugin isn't loaded or didn't register a configuration callback.

And the following error when I run collectd:
Could not find plugin "intel_rdt" in /usr/lib64/collectd

Are there any steps I'm missing? Can I find intel_rdt.so anywhere online? How can I make collectd recognize intel-cmt-cat is installed? I also can't run ./configure (as much of the documentation says to run) because I can't find the correct place to run it with my yum installation. Any help would be appreciated!
