AppOptics vs collectd: What are the differences?
AppOptics: APM with distributed tracing, infrastructure monitoring, and custom metrics, all in one place. Monitor applications, infrastructure, and servers in one platform. Out-of-the-box dashboards. Metrics. Analytics; collectd: System and applications metrics collector. collectd gathers statistics about the system it is running on and stores this information. Those statistics can then be used to find current performance bottlenecks (i.e. performance analysis) and predict future system load (i.e. capacity planning). Or if you just want pretty graphs of your private server and are fed up with some homegrown solution you're at the right place, too.
AppOptics and collectd can be categorized as "Monitoring" tools.
collectd is an open source tool with 2.26K GitHub stars and 1.08K GitHub forks. Here's a link to collectd's open source repository on GitHub.
