Collectd does not connect to rabbitmq (in this setup).<br>
<br>
collectd (as collecting agents) collects metrics, but also events. An<br>
event can be: process "nova" died, interface "eth0" went down.<br>
These events are not handled by prometheus (as that is a metrics store).<br>
<br>
ceilometer also creates/forwards metrics and events. In STF, this data<br>
(metrics and events, from, both sources collectd and ceilometer) are<br>
delivered over via amqp1 to prometheus (for metrics) and elasticsearch<br>
(for events).<br>
<br>
Does that answer your question?<br>
