The files in this directory may be used to perform common tasks that aren't
exactly `collectd's job. They may or may not require in-depth knowledge of RRD
files and/or `collectd's inner workings. Use at your own risk.

add_rra.sh
----------
  Before version 3.9.0 collectd used to create a different set of RRAs. The
most detailed of these old RRAs had a one minute resolution. This script can
be used to add three more RRAs: minimum, maximum and average with a ten second
resolution and 2200 rows (~6 hours). This will make hourly statistics much more
interesting. Please note that no sanity- checking whatsoever is performed. You
can seriously fuck up your RRD files if you don't know what you're doing.

collectd-network.py
-------------------
  This Python module by Adrian Perez implements the collectd network protocol
in pure Python. It currently supports to receive data and notifications from
collectd.

collectd.service
----------------
  Service file for systemd. Please ship this file as
  /lib/systemd/system/collectd.service in any linux package of collectd.

collectd-unixsock.py
--------------------
  This Python module by Clay Loveless provides an interface to collect's
unixsock plugin.

collectd2html.pl
----------------
  This script by Vincent Stehlé will search for RRD files in
`/var/lib/collectd/' and generate an HTML file and a directory containing
several PNG files which are graphs of the RRD files found.

exec-munin.px
-------------
  Script to be used with the exec-plugin (see collectd-exec(5) for details)
which executes munin plugins, parses the output and translates it to a format
the exec-plugin understands. The features are limited - changing the munin
plugins to use the output format understood by the exec-plugin is recommended.
See the embedded POD documentation for more details:
 $ perldoc contrib/exec-munin.px

exec-smartctl
-------------
  Sample script for the exec plugin. Please refer to the documentation in the
file - you will have to adapt it to your needs anyway.

extractDS.px
------------
  Creates a new RRD-file with only one data-source (DS) of the source-RRD-
file. That is very handy when you realise that you have bundled up DSes in one
RRD-file that should have been in multiple RRD-files instead. Is is used by
`migrate-3-4.px' to split up the cpu-, nfs-, swap-files and possibly others.

migrate-3-4.px
--------------
  Migration-script to ease the switch from version 3 to version 4. Many
RRD-files are expected in a different place, some have been changed (DSes have
been renamed) and others have bee split up into multiple files. This script
prints a bash-script to STDOUT which should do most of the work for you. You
may still need to do some things by hand, read `README.migration' for more
details.
