+ The layout of the RRD files created by collectd has changed significantly
+ since version 3.x. In order to keep your old data you have to migrate it.
+ This can be done by using /usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-3-4.px.
+ .
+ This step requires both the perl and the rrdtool packages to be installed,
+ which is currently not the case. You need to perform the migration manually.
