collectd.conf - Configuration for the system statistics collection daemon B<collectd>
Include "/etc/collectd.d/*.conf"
+Starting with version 5.3, this may also be a block in which further options
+affecting the behavior of B<Include> may be specified. The following option is
+currently allowed:
+
+ <Include "/etc/collectd.d">
+ Filter "*.conf"
+ </Include>
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<Filter> I<pattern>
+
If the C<fnmatch> function is available on your system, a shell-like wildcard
I<pattern> may be specified to filter which files to include. This may be used
in combination with recursively including a directory to easily be able to
arbitrarily mix configuration files and other documents (e.g. README files).
-The following statement is similar to the example above but includes all files
+The given example is similar to the first example above but includes all files
matching C<*.conf> in any subdirectory of C</etc/collectd.d>:
Include "/etc/collectd.d" "*.conf"

+
If more than one files are included by a single B<Include> option, the files
will be included in lexicographical order (as defined by the C<strcmp>
function). Thus, you can e.E<nbsp>g. use numbered prefixes to specify the

+The configuration consists of one or more E<lt>B<Instance>E<nbsp>I<Name>E<gt>
+blocks. I<Name> is the parameter passed to "varnishd -n". If left empty, it
+will collectd statistics from the default "varnishd" instance (this should work
+fine in most cases).

+Inside each E<lt>B<Instance>E<gt> blocks, the following options are recognized:
