+The B<modbus plugin> connects to a Modbus "slave" via Modbus/TCP or Modbus/RTU and
+reads register values. It supports reading single registers (unsigned 16E<nbsp>bit
values), large integer values (unsigned 32E<nbsp>bit values) and floating point
values (two registers interpreted as IEEE floats in big endian notation).

This output plugin submits values to an HTTP server using POST requests and
encoding metrics with JSON or using the C<PUTVAL> command described in
-L<collectd-unixsock(5)>. Each destination you want to post data to needs to
-have one B<URL> block, within which the destination can be configured further,
-for example by specifying authentication data.
