collectd-snmp - Documentation of collectd's C<snmp plugin>
The gauge-values returned by the SNMP-agent are multiplied by I<Value>. This
is useful when values are transfered as a fixed point real number. For example,
thermometers may transfer B<243> but actually mean B<24.3>, so you can specify
-a scale value of B<0.1> to correct this. The default value is of course B<1.0>.
+a scale value of B<0.1> to correct this. The default value is, of course,
+B<1.0>.
This value is not applied to counter-values.
I<Value> is added to gauge-values returned by the SNMP-agent after they have
been multiplied by any B<Scale> value. If, for example, a thermometer returns
degrees Kelvin you could specify a shift of B<273.15> here to store values in
-degrees Celsius. The default value is of course B<0.0>.
