-collectd on Debian
-==================
-
-General notes:
---------------
-
-- This package is split up into several packages to prevent you from having to
- install dependencies (or recommended packages) that you don't actually need.
- Any plugin that has dependencies other than libc gets its own package.
-
-Configuring collectd:
----------------------
-
-- collectd uses a similar configuration layout as openvpn does. That is to
- say that one daemon process is started for each configuration file found in
- /etc/collectd/.
-
-- See collectd.conf(5) for details about configuring collectd.
-
-Building your own plugins:
---------------------------
-
-- If you want to contribute plugins to the official distribution you should
- read http://collectd.org/dev-info.shtml.
-
-- If you want to build plugins for your personal use only simply install the
- collectd-dev package and use /usr/share/doc/collectd-dev/examples/myplugin.c
- as a starting point (Note: This is already a working example, though it does
- not collect any useful data).
-
- The resulting file can be compiled as follows:
-
- gcc -shared -o myplugin.so myplugin.c
-
- Copy myplugin.so to /usr/lib/collectd and add the following line to your
- collectd config file:
-
- LoadPlugin myplugin
-
- Restart collectd and you're done.
