+
+ - lvm
+ Size of “Logical Volumes” (LV) and “Volume Groups” (VG) of Linux'

- madwifi
Queries very detailed usage statistics from wireless LAN adapters and
Motherboard sensors: temperature, fanspeed and voltage information,
using mbmon(1).
+ - md
+ Linux software-RAID device information (number of active, failed, spare
+ and missing disks).
+
- memcachec
Query and parse data from a memcache daemon (memcached).
Memory utilization: Memory occupied by running processes, page cache,
buffer cache and free.
+ - mic
+ Collects CPU usage, memory usage, temperatures and power consumption from
+ Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) CPUs.
+
- modbus
Reads values from Modbus/TCP enabled devices. Supports reading values
from multiple "slaves" so gateway devices can be used.
Network UPS tools: UPS current, voltage, power, charge, utilisation,
temperature, etc. See upsd(8).
+ - numa
+ Information about Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA).
+
- olsrd
Queries routing information from the “Optimized Link State Routing”

API. See collectd-perl(5).
+ - pf

- pinba
Receive and dispatch timing values from Pinba, a profiling extension for
PHP.
Follows (tails) logfiles, parses them by lines and submits matched
values.

done.
+ - write_graphite
+ Sends data to Carbon, the storage layer of Graphite using TCP or UDP. It
+ can be configured to avoid logging send errors (especially useful when
+ using UDP).
+
- write_http
Sends the values collected by collectd to a web-server using HTTP POST
requests. The transmitted data is either in a form understood by the
Exec plugin or formatted in JSON.
+ - write_mongodb
+ Sends data to MongoDB, a NoSQL database.
+
- write_redis
Sends the values to a Redis key-value database server.
+ - write_riemann
+ Sends data to Riemann, a stream processing and monitoring system.

* Logging is, as everything in collectd, provided by plugins. The following
plugins keep up informed about what's going on:
* Miscellaneous plugins:
+ - aggregation
+ Selects multiple value lists based on patterns or regular expressions
+ and creates new aggregated values lists from those.
+
- threshold
Checks values against configured thresholds and creates notifications if
values are out of bounds. See collectd-threshold(5) for details.
