Tor collector
Connects to the Tor control port to collect traffic statistics.
Requirements
tor
programstem
python package
It produces only one chart:
Traffic
- read
- write
Configuration
Edit the python.d/tor.conf
configuration file using edit-config
from the Netdata config
directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata
.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/tor.conf
Needs only control_port
.
Here is an example for local server:
update_every : 1
priority : 60000
local_tcp:
name: 'local'
control_port: 9051
password: <password> # if required
local_socket:
name: 'local'
control_port: '/var/run/tor/control'
password: <password> # if required
prerequisite
Add to /etc/tor/torrc
:
ControlPort 9051
For more options please read the manual.
Without configuration, module attempts to connect to 127.0.0.1:9051
.
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the tor
module, run the python.d.plugin
with the debug option enabled. The
output will give you the output of the data collection job or error messages on why the collector isn't working.
First, navigate to your plugins directory, usually they are located under /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
. If that's
not the case on your system, open netdata.conf
and look for the setting plugins directory
. Once you're in the
plugin's directory, switch to the netdata
user.
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
Now you can manually run the tor
module in debug mode:
./python.d.plugin tor debug trace
