-=head1 RRD FILES
+=head1 MODES
+
+collectd can operate in four different operating modes. The modes are described
+below.
+
+The simplest mode is the so called B<local mode>. Data is collected locally and
+written in RRD files that reside in I<DataDir>. This is the default mode when
+collectd is linked against C<librrd>.
+
+The modes B<client mode> and B<server mode> are used to send data over a
+network and receive it again.
+
+In B<client mode> the daemon collects the data locally and sends its results
+to one or more network addresses. No RRD files are written locally in this
+case. If collectd is not linked against C<librrd> this is the default mode.
+
+If started in B<server mode> the daemon will listen on one or more interfaces
+and write the data it receives to RRD files. No data is collected locally.
+
+In the last mode, B<log mode>, data is collected locally and written in
+text files that reside in I<DataDir>.
+
+Please refer to L<collectd.conf(5)> for the configuration options and default
+values.
+
+=head1 SPECIAL PLUGINS
+
+=head2 apache
+
+This module connects to an Apache webserver and expects the output produced by
+B<mod_status.c>. If requires B<libcurl> to set up the HTTP connection and issue
+the request(s). The following is a sample config for the Apache webserver. The
+use of C<ExtendedStatus on> is mandatory.
+
+ ExtendedStatus on
+ <IfModule mod_status.c>
+ <Location /mod_status>
+ SetHandler server-status
+ </Location>
+ </IfModule>
+
+This plugin requires further configuration. Please read L<collectd.conf(5)>.
+
+=head2 cpufreq
+
+This module reads F</sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq> (for
+the first CPU installed) to get the current CPU frequency. If this file does
+not exist make sure B<cpufreqd> (L<http://cpufreqd.sourceforge.net/>) or a
+similar tool is installed and an "cpu governor" (that's kernel module) is
+loaded.
+
+=head2 email
+
+This plugin collects data indirectly by providing a UNIX socket that external
+programs can connect to. A simple line based protocol is used to communicate
+with the plugin:
+
+E-Mail type (e.g. "ham", "spam", "virus", ...) and size (bytes):
+
+ e:<type>:<size>
+
+Spam score:
+
+ s:<value>
+
+Successful spam checks (e.g. "BAYES_99", "SUBJECT_DRUG_GAP_C", ...):
+
+ c:<type1>[,<type2>,...]
+
+Each line is limited to 256 characters (including the newline character).
+Longer lines will be ignored.
+
+=head2 mysql
+
+Requires B<mysqlclient> to be installed. It connects to the database when
+started and keeps the connection up as long as possible. When the connection is
+interrupted for whatever reason it will try to re-connect. The syslog will
+contain loud complaints in case anything goes wrong.
+
+This plugin issues C<SHOW STATUS> and evaluates C<Bytes_{received,sent}>,
+C<Com_*> and C<Handler_*> which correspond to F<traffic-mysql.rrd>,
+F<mysql_commands-*.rrd> and F<mysql_handler-*.rrd>. Also, the values of
+C<Qcache_*> are put in F<mysql_qcache.rrd> and values of C<Threads_*> are put
+in F<mysql_threads.rrd>. Please refer to the B<MySQL reference manual>,
+I<5.2.4. Server Status Variables> for an explanation of these values.
+
+=head2 sensors
+
+The B<sensors> module uses lm_sensors to retrieve sensor-values. This means
+that all the needed modules have to be loaded and lm_sensors has to be
+configured (most likely by editing F</etc/sensors.conf>. Read
+L<sensors.conf(5)> for details.
+
+The B<lm_sensors> homepage can be found at
+L<http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/>.
+
+=head2 mbmon
+
+The B<mbmon> module uses mbmon to retrieve temperature, voltage, etc.
+
+collectd connects to B<localhost> (127.0.0.1), port B<411/tcp>.
+The B<Host> and B<Port> options can be used to change these
+default values. See L<collectd.conf(5)> for details. C<mbmon> has to be
+running to work correctly. If C<mbmon> is not running timeouts may appear
+which may interfere with other statistics..
+
+C<mbmon> must be run with the -r option ("print TAG and Value format");
+Debian's /etc/init.d/mbmon script already does this, other people
+will need to ensure that this is the case.
+
+=head2 hddtemp
+
+To get values from B<hddtemp> collectd connects to B<localhost> (127.0.0.1),
+port B<7634/tcp>. The B<Host> and B<Port> options can be used to change these
+default values. See L<collectd.conf(5)> for details. C<hddtemp> has to be
+running to work correctly. If C<hddtemp> is not running timeouts may appear
+which may interfere with other statistics..
-The RRD files are created automatically with the following RRAs:
+The B<hddtemp> homepage can be found at
+L<http://www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.php>.

+B<VServer> support is only available for Linux. It cannot yet be found in a
+vanilla kernel, though. To make use of this plugin you need a kernel that has
+B<VServer> support built in, i.e. you need to apply the patches and compile
+your own kernel, which will then provide the /proc/virtual filesystem that is
+required by this plugin.
-Since collectd uses a 10 second I<step> the RRAs contain the following
-timespans:
+The B<VServer> homepage can be found at L<http://linux-vserver.org/>.
+
+=head1 RRD FILES
- Resolution | Data points | Timespan
- -----------+-------------+----------
- 60 seconds | 1500 | 25 hours
- 30 minutes | 1680 | 35 days
- 6 hours | 1520 | 380 days
+The RRD files are created automatically. The size of the RRAs depend on the
+compile time settings of I<step> and I<width>. With the default values (I<step>
+= B<10>, I<width> = B<1200>) the following RRAs are created:
+
+ RRA:AVERAGE:0.1:1:8640
+ RRA:AVERAGE:0.1:50:1210
+ RRA:AVERAGE:0.1:223:1202
+ RRA:AVERAGE:0.1:2635:1201
+ RRA:MIN:0.1:1:8640
+ RRA:MIN:0.1:50:1210

+ RRA:MAX:0.1:50:1210
+ RRA:MAX:0.1:223:1202
+ RRA:MAX:0.1:2635:1201
+
+By default collectd uses a 10 second I<step>. Thus the RRAs contain the
+following timespans. If you've changed the I<step> at compile time you will
+have calculate resolution and timespan yourself.
+
+ PDP per CDP | Resolution | Data points | Timespan
+ ------------+--------------+-------------+---------
+ 1 | 10.0 seconds ! 8640 ! 1 day
+ 50 | 8.3 minutes | 1210 | 1 week
+ 223 | 37.2 minutes | 1202 | 1 month
+ 2635 | 7.3 hours | 1201 | 1 year

-Communication happends using the (IPv4) multicast group B<239.192.74.66> and
-packets sent to the port B<25826/udp>. Every ten seconds the I<client> queries
-all the modules and sends the collected data to the multicast group. The
-I<server> subscribes to the multicast group upon startup and then waits for
-incoming packets. As it receives the packets it checks wether it has the
-neccessary module and, if found, writes the data to an RRD file, creating
-directories and files as needed.
+=item VServer load (F<vserver-I<E<lt>xidE<gt>>/load.rrd>)
-The multicast group used is within the I<Organization Local Scope> as defined
-by L<RFC2365>. Addresses within that space are meant to be routed within an AS
-but not to the outside. However collectd cannot control this and won't try. So
-it's totally up to you to secure your net.

-The UDP port used has been checked to not be assigned by the IANA.
+=item VServer threads (F<vserver-I<E<lt>xidE<gt>>/threads.rrd>)
-On multi-homed machines you may need to add a route to the multicast net
-(B<224.0.0.0/4>) if multicast packages take the wrong interface. The listener
-on the other hand listens on B<all> interfaces.

-The B<sensors> module uses lm_sensors to retrieve sensor-values. This means

-configured (most likely by editing F</etc/sensors.conf>. Read
