+
+A B<VFiler> block may only be used inside a host block. It accepts all the
+same options as the B<Host> block (except for cascaded B<VFiler> blocks) and
+will execute all NetApp API commands in the context of the specified
+VFiler(R). It will appear in collectd with the name you specify here which
+does not have to be its real name. The VFiler name may be specified using the
+B<VFilerName> option. If this is not specified, it will default to the name
+you specify here.
+
+The VFiler block inherits all connection related settings from the surrounding
+B<Host> block (which appear before the B<VFiler> block) but they may be
+overwritten inside the B<VFiler> block.
+
+This feature is useful, for example, when using a VFiler as SnapVault target

+context.
