Collectd's configuration files are stored in /etc/collectd/. Default configuration files for many popular applications are provided in /etc/collectd/conf.d/. You can edit these files to enable data collection or create your own custom configuration files.
Alternatively, you can use Collectd's web interface to configure it. First, you need to enable the Collectd web plugin by uncommenting the following line in the collectd.conf file:
LoadPlugin network
Add the following configuration to enable the Collectd web plugin:
<Plugin network>
Server "0.0.0.0" "25826"
Listen "0.0.0.0" "25826"
</Plugin>
Once you have made the configuration changes, restart the Collectd service for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart collectd
To access the Collectd web interface, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/collectd/.
