Usage

Custom state file

Create a custom state file (for example collectd-custom.sls) that includes the plugins you want and the base state.

include:
  - collectd
  - collectd.disk
  - collectd.syslog

Then in your topfile:

'servername':
  - collectd-custom

Directly in topfile

Or if you don't mind having long lists in your topfile, just add whatever plugins you want and the base state.

'servername':
  - collectd
  - collectd.disk
  - collectd.syslog

Combined

Or you can combine both - default plugins in custom state and specific in topfile.

'apache-server':
  - collectd-custom
  - collectd.apache
