Note: you only need collectd on this second server – for the types definition, so you could copy this from any server that has collectd installed
ON Ubuntu 16.04
On the DUT
So on the DUT you will need to configure collectd to send the metrics it collects to the server running influx + grafana using the network plugin:
...
make sure the "typesdb" option is pointing to the collectd types.
search and modify the [[collectd]] block

enabled = true
bind-address = ":25826" # the bind address

typesdb = "/opt/collectd/share/collectd/types.db"

IF collectd is not installed on the system - download the types.db file as influx needs this
