It appears Ubuntu 22.04 LTS still does not include in its packages base one of the best server software to gather metrics from different sources. collectd is a small and fast daemon, which can gather metrics from more than 80 different sources.
In fact, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS does not include it, but the new not LTS Ubuntu 22.10 provides the package in the universe repository – https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/collectd-core. At least, one more file should be installed collectd from https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/collectd. The name of the package is collectd, collectd-core and there are 4 more files of interests – collectd-dev, collectd-utils, libcollectdclient-dev, libcollectdclient1.
Check out the pool folder of an Ubuntu mirror, for example, the mirror – http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/collectd/ and download the latest file.
Now, the latest files are http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/collectd/collectd-core_5.12.0-11_amd64.deb and http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/collectd/collectd_5.12.0-11_amd64.deb. Download them and install the files with apt like usually but pointing to the files:

myuser@srv:~$ curl -LOs http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/collectd/collectd-core_5.12.0-11_amd64.deb

It’s worth mentioning in previous Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, in which the collectd was included, some of the above collectd plugins required additional package installation to be loaded successfully by the collectd daemon.

Installation of collectd in older Ubuntu versions

As mentioned above, under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS the collectd daemon is included in the universal repository and installation is simple as just running the apt:

sudo apt install collectd collectd-core

But, in older versions or in future ones, sometimes getting the packages from older or newer versions of Ubuntu may not be possible because of dependency requirements. so a second option is to check Debian package in the Debian repositories. Ubuntu is based on Debian, to find out the exact version:

myuser@srv:~$ cat /etc/debian_version 
bookworm/sid

So Debian packages from bookworm should be worth trying them. The Debian information URL looks like https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/collectd.
All packages with collectd in the name for:
