collectd on LibreELEC

1st Official Post

    hi,

    How can I install collectd or any other monitoring system on LibreELEC ?

    I have some old HTPC based on E8400 CPU and I have lying around a Q6600 CPU.

    I wanted to log CPU usage when I play some movie on both CPUs and decide if I should upgrade E8400 to Q6600 (Q have more cored but higher power usage, on other hand E have fewer cores but more GHz).

    I wanted to install collectd and gather cpu usage to some ramfs or sshfs (to other machine) and then compare usages.
    Although I know how to do it in normal Linux distribution, I have no clue how (correctly) do this on LibreELEC.

    Can anyone tell me how to achieve above ?

    Unless it's packaged as an addon you can't, unless you install the binaries manually somewhere on /storage. For checking load during a movie you could just use top.

    Yes but using top will require me to look non stop on top, and even then i could miss some 'spikes'.

    When using logger I could watch movie and meanwhile log performance data.

    Does LibreELEC support some common package typed like rpm or deb or I have to compile app myself ?

    You'd have to cross compile using our tool chain.

    Or use the docker addon.
