The configuration file should list the services you want to collect data for:

copperegg:
  apikey: YOUR_APIKEY

  -
    plugin: memcached
    hostname: localhost
    port: 11211
  -
    plugin: mysql
    hostname: localhost
    port: 3306
    username: root
    password: root

    plugin: apache2
    url: http://localhost:80/server-status?auto
  -
    plugin: nginx
    url: http://localhost:80/server-status

Include configuration

In your configuration you can specify a directory to include service configurations from:

include: services.d/

This will include files from /etc/bipbip/services.d/ and load them into the services configuration.

You could then add a file /etc/bipbip/services.d/memcached.yml:

plugin: memcached
hostname: localhost
port: 11211
