What is collectd and what are its top alternatives?

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.
collectd is a tool in the Monitoring Tools category of a tech stack.
collectd is an open source tool with 3K GitHub stars and 1.2K GitHub forks. Here’s a link to collectd's open source repository on GitHub
