* Logging is, as everything in collectd, provided by plugins. The following
plugins keep up informed about what's going on:
The I<write_sensu plugin> will send values to I<Sensu>, a powerful stream
aggregation and monitoring system. The plugin sends I<JSON> encoded data to
-a local I<sensu> client using a TCP socket. At the moment, write_sensu plugin
-does not send over a collectd_host parameter so it not possible to use
-one collectd instance as a gateway for other collectd: each collectd host
-must write to its own sensu client.

Synopsis:
The plugin's configuration consists of one or more B<Node> blocks. Each block
is given a unique I<Name> and specifies one connection to an instance of
-I<Sensu>. Indise the B<Node> block, the following per-connection options are
+I<Sensu>. Inside the B<Node> block, the following per-connection options are
understood:
=over 4
If set to B<true> (the default), convert counter values to rates. If set to
B<false> counter values are stored as is, i.e. as an increasing integer number.
-This will be reflected in the C<collectd_data_source_type> tag: If B<StoreRates> is enabled,
-converted values will have "rate" appended to the data source type, e.g.
-C<collectd_data_source_type:derive:rate>.
