Excerpt

Abiquo supports collectd with an integration in the multi-cloud platform to enable you to easily work with custom VM monitoring and metrics in public cloud providers, including Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as VMware vCenter.

In the Abiquo multi-cloud platform you can create alerts and automation based on your custom metrics. For example, you can automatically scale out your VMs based on your application metrics. 

After you configure collectd and the Abiquo collectd plugin, the plugin will automatically push the values from collectd to the Abiquo API using a specific the Abiquo API endpoint endpoints for collectd. As with other custom metrics, the , for example, for a VM, or a group of VMs in a VApp, or for a scaling group. The Abiquo API then pushes the collectd metrics to the Abiquo Monitoring Server. Users can then display metrics through the UI or use them for automation.
