- Globals true
- </LoadPlugin>
+ LoadPlugin python
# ...
<Plugin python>
ModulePath "/path/to/your/python/modules"
=item B<LoadPlugin> I<Plugin>
-Loads the Python plugin I<Plugin>. Unlike most other LoadPlugin lines, this one
-should be a block containing the line "Globals true". This will cause collectd
-to export the name of all objects in the Python interpreter for all plugins to
-see. If you don't do this or your platform does not support it, the embedded
-interpreter will start anyway but you won't be able to load certain Python
-modules, e.g. "time".
+Loads the Python plugin I<Plugin>.
=item B<Encoding> I<Name>
The default encoding for Unicode objects you pass to collectd. If you omit this
-option it will default to B<ascii> on I<Python 2> and B<utf-8> on I<Python 3>.
-This is hardcoded in Python and will ignore everything else, including your
-locale.
+option it will default to B<ascii> on I<Python 2>. On I<Python 3> it will
+always be B<utf-8>, as this function was removed, so this will be silently
+ignored.
+These defaults are hardcoded in Python and will ignore everything else,
+including your locale.
