+(only one sensor can be used by the plugin).
The plugin provides absolute barometric pressure, air pressure reduced to sea
level (several possible approximations) and as an auxiliary value also internal
the standard Linux i2c-dev interface (the particular bus driver has to
support the SM Bus command subset).
-The reduction or normalization to mean sea level pressure requires (depedning on
-selected method/approximation) also altitude and reference to temperature sensor(s).
-When multiple temperature sensors are configured the minumum of their values is
-always used (expecting that the warmer ones are affected by e.g. direct sun light
-at that moment).

+
+A separate B<Daemon> block must be configured for each ceph daemon to be

+separate ceph daemons running on the same device (two OSDs, one MON, one MDS) :
+
+ <Plugin ceph>
+ LongRunAvgLatency false
+ ConvertSpecialMetricTypes true
+ <Daemon "osd.0">

+
+The ceph plugin accepts the following configuration options:

+are converted to the type of those similar counters. This currently only
+applies to filestore.journal_wr_bytes which is a counter for OSD daemons. The
+ceph schema reports this metric type as a sum,count pair while similar counters
+are treated as derive types. When converted, the sum is used as the counter

+
+The B<Timeout> option sets the overall timeout for HTTP requests to B<URL>, in

+indefinitely. This legacy behaviour can be achieved by setting the value of
+B<Timeout> to 0.
