+=head2 Plugin C<openldap>
+
+To use the C<openldap> plugin you first need to configure the I<OpenLDAP>
+server correctly. The backend database C<monitor> needs to be loaded and
+working. See slapd-monitor(5) for the details.
+
+The configuration of the C<openldap> plugin consists of one or more B<Instance>
+blocks. Each block requires one string argument as the instance name. For
+example:
+
+ <Plugin "openldap">
+ <Instance "foo">
+ URL "ldap://localhost/"
+ </Instance>
+ <Instance "bar">
+ URL "ldaps://localhost/"
+ </Instance>
+ </Plugin>
+
+The instance name will be used as the I<plugin instance>. To emulate the old
+(versionE<nbsp>4) behavior, you can use an empty string (""). In order for the
+plugin to work correctly, each instance name must be unique. This is not
+enforced by the plugin and it is your responsibility to ensure it is.
+
+The following options are accepted within each B<Instance> block:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<URL> I<ldap://host/binddn>
+
+Sets the URL to use to connect to the I<OpenLDAP> server. This option is
+I<mandatory>.
+
+=item B<StartTLS> B<true|false>
+
+Defines whether TLS must be used when connecting to the I<OpenLDAP> server.
+Disabled by default.
+
+=item B<VerifyHost> B<true|false>
+
+Enables or disables peer host name verification. If enabled, the plugin checks
+if the C<Common Name> or a C<Subject Alternate Name> field of the SSL
+certificate matches the host name provided by the B<URL> option. If this
+identity check fails, the connection is aborted. Enabled by default.
+
+=item B<CACert> I<File>
+
+File that holds one or more SSL certificates. If you want to use TLS/SSL you
+may possibly need this option. What CA certificates are checked by default
+depends on the distribution you use and can be changed with the usual ldap
+client configuration mechanisms. See ldap.conf(5) for the details.
+
+=item B<Timeout> I<Seconds>
+
+Sets the timeout value for ldap operations. Defaults to B<-1> which results in
+an infinite timeout.
+
+=item B<Version> I<Version>
+
+An integer which sets the LDAP protocol version number to use when connecting
+to the I<OpenLDAP> server. Defaults to B<3> for using I<LDAPv3>.

=head2 Plugin C<openvpn>
The OpenVPN plugin reads a status file maintained by OpenVPN and gathers
=back
+=head2 Plugin C<smart>
+
+The C<smart> plugin collects SMART information from physical
+disks. Values collectd include temperature, power cycle count, poweron
+time and bad sectors. Also, all SMART attributes are collected along
+with the normalized current value, the worst value, the threshold and
+a human readable value.
+
+Using the following two options you can ignore some disks or configure the
+collection only of specific disks.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<Disk> I<Name>
+
+Select the disk I<Name>. Whether it is collected or ignored depends on the
+B<IgnoreSelected> setting, see below. As with other plugins that use the
+daemon's ignorelist functionality, a string that starts and ends with a slash
+is interpreted as a regular expression. Examples:
+
+ Disk "sdd"
+ Disk "/hda[34]/"
+
+=item B<IgnoreSelected> B<true>|B<false>
+
+Sets whether selected disks, i.E<nbsp>e. the ones matches by any of the B<Disk>
+statements, are ignored or if all other disks are ignored. The behavior
+(hopefully) is intuitive: If no B<Disk> option is configured, all disks are
+collected. If at least one B<Disk> option is given and no B<IgnoreSelected> or
+set to B<false>, B<only> matching disks will be collected. If B<IgnoreSelected>
+is set to B<true>, all disks are collected B<except> the ones matched.

=head2 Plugin C<varnish>
The I<varnish plugin> collects information about Varnish, an HTTP accelerator.
+It collects a subset of the values displayed by L<varnishstat(1)>, and
+organizes them in categories which can be enabled or disabled. Currently only
+metrics shown in L<varnishstat(1)>'s I<MAIN> section are collected. The exact
+meaning of each metric can be found in L<varnish-counters(7)>.
