=item B<ReportStats> B<true>|B<false>
The network plugin cannot only receive and send statistics, it can also create
-statistics about itself. Collected data included the number of received and
+statistics about itself. Collectd data included the number of received and
sent octets and packets, the length of the receive queue and the number of
values handled. When set to B<true>, the I<Network plugin> will make these
statistics available. Defaults to B<false>.

+
+When I<collectd> connects to a TSDB node, it will request the hostname from
+DNS. This can become a problem if the TSDB node is unavailable or badly
+configured because collectd will request DNS in order to reconnect for every
+metric, which can flood your DNS. So you can cache the last value for
+I<ResolveInterval> seconds.
+Defaults to the I<Interval> of the I<write_tsdb plugin>, e.g. 10E<nbsp>seconds.
+
+You can also define a jitter, a random interval to wait in addition to
+I<ResolveInterval>. This prevents all your collectd servers to resolve the
+hostname at the same time when the connection fails.
+Defaults to the I<Interval> of the I<write_tsdb plugin>, e.g. 10E<nbsp>seconds.
+
+B<Note:> If the DNS resolution has already been successful when the socket
+closes, the plugin will try to reconnect immediately with the cached
+information. DNS is queried only when the socket is closed for a longer than
+I<ResolveInterval> + I<ResolveJitter> seconds.
