When set to B<true>, various statistics about the I<collectd> daemon will be
collected, with "collectd" as the I<plugin name>. Defaults to B<false>.
-The "write_queue" I<plugin instance> reports the number of elements currently
-queued and the number of elements dropped off the queue by the
-B<WriteQueueLimitLow>/B<WriteQueueLimitHigh> mechanism.
+The following metrics are reported:
-The "cache" I<plugin instance> reports the number of elements in the value list
-cache (the cache you can interact with using L<collectd-unixsock(5)>).

+
+=item C<collectd-write_queue/queue_length>
+
+The number of metrics currently in the write queue. You can limit the queue
+length with the B<WriteQueueLimitLow> and B<WriteQueueLimitHigh> options.
+
+=item C<collectd-write_queue/derive-dropped>
+
+The number of metrics dropped due to a queue length limitation.
+If this value is non-zero, your system can't handle all incoming metrics and
+protects itself against overload by dropping metrics.
+
+=item C<collectd-cache/cache_size>
+
+The number of elements in the metric cache (the cache you can interact with
+using L<collectd-unixsock(5)>).

=item B<Include> I<Path> [I<pattern>]
B<Interface> is inverted: All selected interfaces are ignored and all
other interfaces are collected.
+=item B<UniqueName> I<true>|I<false>
+
+Interface name is not unique on Solaris (KSTAT), interface name is unique
+only within a module/instance. Following tuple is considered unique:
+ (ks_module, ks_instance, ks_name)
+If this option is set to true, interface name contains above three fields
+separated by an underscore. For more info on KSTAT, visit
+L<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1468/kstat-3kstat.html#REFMAN3Ekstat-3kstat>
+
+This option is only available on Solaris.

=head2 Plugin C<ipmi>
Sets the Time-To-Live of generated ICMP packets.
+=item B<Size> I<size>
+
+Sets the size of the data payload in ICMP packet to specified I<size> (it
+will be filled with regular ASCII pattern). If not set, default 56 byte
+long string is used so that the packet size of an ICMPv4 packet is exactly
+64 bytes, similar to the behaviour of normal ping(1) command.
+
=item B<SourceAddress> I<host>
Sets the source address to use. I<host> may either be a numerical network
Protocol to use when connecting to I<Graphite>. Defaults to C<tcp>.
+=item B<ReconnectInterval> I<Seconds>
+
+When set to non-zero, forces the connection to the Graphite backend to be
+closed and re-opend periodically. This behavior is desirable in environments
+where the connection to the Graphite backend is done through load balancers,
+for example. When set to zero, the default, the connetion is kept open for as
+long as possible.
+
=item B<LogSendErrors> B<false>|B<true>
If set to B<true> (the default), logs errors when sending data to I<Graphite>.
