 Description: statistics collection daemon
- collectd is a small daemon written in C for performance. It reads various
- system statistics and updates RRD files, creating them if necessary. Since
- the daemon doesn't need to startup every time it wants to update the files
- it's very fast and easy on the system. Also, the statistics are very fine
- grained since the files are updated every 10 seconds.
