+.SH "NAME"
+types.db \- Data\-set specifications for the system statistics collection daemon
+collectd
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+.Vb 3
+\& bitrate value:GAUGE:0:4294967295

+.Ve
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The types.db file contains one line for each data-set specification. Each line
+consists of two fields delimited by spaces and/or horizontal tabs. The first
+field defines the name of the data-set, while the second field defines a list
+of data-source specifications, delimited by spaces and, optionally, a comma
+(\*(L",\*(R") right after each list-entry.
+.PP
+The format of the data-source specification has been inspired by RRDtool's
+data-source specification. Each data-source is defined by a quadruple made up
+of the data-source name, type, minimal and maximal values, delimited by colons
+(\*(L":\*(R"): \fIds-name\fR:\fIds-type\fR:\fImin\fR:\fImax\fR. \fIds-type\fR may be either
+\&\fB\s-1ABSOLUTE\s0\fR, \fB\s-1COUNTER\s0\fR, \fB\s-1DERIVE\s0\fR, or \fB\s-1GAUGE\s0\fR. \fImin\fR and \fImax\fR define the
+range of valid values for
+data stored for this data-source. If \fBU\fR is specified for either the min or
+max value, it will be set to unknown, meaning that no range checks will
+happen. See \fIrrdcreate\fR\|(1) for more details.
+.SH "FILES"
+.IX Header "FILES"
+The location of the types.db file is defined by the \fBTypesDB\fR configuration
+option (see \fIcollectd.conf\fR\|(5)). It defaults to collectd's shared data
+directory, i.\ e. \fI\fIprefix\fI/share/collectd/\fR.
+.SH "CUSTOM TYPES"
+.IX Header "CUSTOM TYPES"
+If you want to specify custom types, you should do so by specifying a custom
+file in addition to the default one (see \s-1FILES\s0) above. You can do that by
+having multiple \fBTypesDB\fR statements in your configuration file or by
+specifying more than one file in one line.
+.PP
+For example:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\& TypesDB "/opt/collectd/share/collectd/types.db"
+\& TypesDB "/opt/collectd/etc/types.db.custom"
+.Ve
+.PP
+\&\fBNote\fR: Make sure to make this file available on all systems if you're
+sending values over the network.
