many small files are stored on the disk. This is a usual scenario for mail
transfer agents and web caches.
- =item B<ReportPercentage> B<false>|B<true>
+ =item B<ValuesAbsolute> B<true>|B<false>
- Enables or disables reporting of disk space and inodes as a percentage.
- Defaults to B<false>.
+ Enables or disables reporting of free, used and used disk space in 1K-blocks.
+ Defaults to true.
- This is useful for deploying I<collectd> on the cloud, where machines with
- different disk size may exist. Then it is more practical to configure
- thresholds based on relative disk size.

The C<write_graphite> plugin writes data to I<Graphite>, an open-source metrics
storage and graphing project. The plugin connects to I<Carbon>, the data layer
-of I<Graphite>, and sends data via the "line based" protocol (per default using
-portE<nbsp>2003). The data will be sent in blocks of at most 1428 bytes to
-minimize the number of network packets.

Service name or port number to connect to. Defaults to C<2003>.

+Protocol to use when connecting to I<Graphite>. Defaults to C<tcp>.

+=item B<LogSendErrors> B<false>|B<true>
+
+If set to B<true> (the default), logs errors when sending data to I<Graphite>.
+If set to B<false>, it will not log the errors. This is especially useful when
+using Protocol UDP since many times we want to use the "fire-and-forget"
+approach and logging errors fills syslog with unneeded messages.

=item B<Prefix> I<String>
When set, I<String> is added in front of the host name. Dots and whitespace are
