Read onewire sensors using the owcapu library of the owfs project.
+ Please read in collectd.conf(5) why this plugin is experimental.
- perl
The perl plugin implements a Perl-interpreter into collectd. You can
since collectd is programmed multithreaded it benefits from hyperthreading
and multicore processors and makes sure that the daemon isn't idle if only
one plugins waits for an IO-operation to complete.

- will send its values via multicast and not create any RRD files itself.
- Alternatively you can chose to write CSV-files (Comma Separated Values)
- instead.
+ * librrd (optional)
+ Used by the `rrdtool' and `rrdcached' plugins. The latter requires RRDtool
