X-Git-Tag: collectd-4.6.0~192 X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=22b86ccc6911908a176be932ce0aac03da7f1a46;p=collectd.git README: Updated information about librrd and libstatgrab. The info about librrd still talked about "client mode" while libstatgrab still mentioned that CPU and disk statistics would not be supported.
