# collectd-write-qpid-json

A simple [Collectd][collectd-home] python plugin for writing metric's to an
[AMQP 1.0][amqp-home] compliant broker in the Collectd [JSON
format][collectd-json] using Apache Qpid's Messaging Api [python
bindings][qpid-messaging].

## But what about the supported AMQP plugin?

Collectd ships with an [AMQP Plugin][collectd-amqp] already. However it is
based on the [rabbitmq-c][rabbitmq-c] client library. RabbitMQ does not support
the AMQP 1.0/0-10 versions of AMQP for whatever reason so I needed something
else to talk to brokers that only support AMQP 1.0/0-10 such as the Apache QPID
C++ broker.
