# Collector Reference

This page summarizes the collectors that ship with the exporter.

Each collector owns one or more scheduler endpoint groups and runs its own group-clocked loop; the adaptive scheduler solves a per-group interval (floored at that group's volatility floor) from the configured request budget, so cadence is derived rather than assigned from a fixed tier. See the [Scheduler Architecture](../../observability/scheduler.md) page for details.

**Total collector classes:** 49
**Auto-registered collectors:** 9

## Main Collectors (auto-registered)

| Collector | Purpose | Metrics | Notes |
|-----------|---------|---------|-------|

| `ClientsCollector` | Collector for client-level metrics across all networks. | 28 | Requires MERAKI_EXPORTER_CLIENTS__ENABLED=true |
| `ConfigCollector` | Collector for configuration and security settings. | 17 |  |
| `DeviceCollector` | Collector for device-level metrics. | 6 |  |
| `InsightCollector` | Collector for Meraki Insight application-health metrics (#613). | 10 |  |
| `MTSensorAlertsCollector` | Collector for network-wide currently-alerting MT sensor counts. | 3 |  |
| `MTSensorCollector` | Collector for fast-moving sensor metrics (MT devices). | 24 |  |
| `NetworkHealthCollector` | Collector for medium-moving network health metrics. | 11 |  |
| `OrganizationCollector` | Collector for organization-level metrics. | 38 |  |
