+The I<AMQP1 plugin> can be used to communicate with other instances of
+I<collectd> or third party applications using an AMQP 1.0 message
+intermediary. Metric values or notifications are sent to the
+messaging intermediary which may handle direct messaging or
+queue based transfer.

+
+The plugin's configuration consists of a I<Transport> that configures
+communications to the AMQP 1.0 messaging bus and one or more I<Instance>
+corresponding to metric or event publishers to the messaging system.
+
+The address in the I<Transport> block concatenated with the name given in the
+I<Instance> block starting tag will be used as the send-to address for
+communications over the messaging link.
+
+The following options are accepted within each I<Transport> block:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<Host> I<Host>
+
+Hostname or IP-address of the AMQP 1.0 intermediary. Defaults to the
+default behavior of the underlying communications library,
+I<libqpid-proton>, which is "localhost".
+
+=item B<Port> I<Port>
+
+Service name or port number on which the AMQP 1.0 intermediary accepts
+connections. This argument must be a string, even if the numeric form
+is used. Defaults to "5672".
+
+=item B<User> I<User>

+=item B<Password> I<Password>
+
+Credentials used to authenticate to the AMQP 1.0 intermediary. By
+default "guest"/"guest" is used.

+=item B<Address> I<Address>
+
+This option specifies the prefix for the send-to value in the message.
+By default, "collectd" will be used.
+
+=item B<RetryDelay> I<RetryDelay>
+
+When the AMQP1 connection is lost, defines the time in seconds to wait
+before attempting to reconnect. Defaults to 1, which implies attempt
+to reconnect at 1 second intervals.

+=back
+
+The following options are accepted within each I<Instance> block:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<Format> B<Command>|B<JSON>|B<Graphite>
+
+Selects the format in which messages are sent to the intermediary. If set to
+B<Command> (the default), values are sent as C<PUTVAL> commands which are
+identical to the syntax used by the I<Exec> and I<UnixSock plugins>. In this
+case, the C<Content-Type> header field will be set to C<text/collectd>.
+
+If set to B<JSON>, the values are encoded in the I<JavaScript Object Notation>,
+an easy and straight forward exchange format. The C<Content-Type> header field
+will be set to C<application/json>.

+If set to B<Graphite>, values are encoded in the I<Graphite> format, which is
+"<metric> <value> <timestamp>\n". The C<Content-Type> header field will be set to

+=item B<PreSettle> B<true>|B<false>
+
+If set to B<false> (the default), the plugin will wait for a message
+acknowledgement from the messaging bus before sending the next
+message. This indicates transfer of ownership to the messaging
+system. If set to B<true>, the plugin will not wait for a message
+acknowledgement and the message may be dropped prior to transfer of
+ownership.
+
+=item B<Notify> B<true>|B<false>
+
+If set to B<false> (the default), the plugin will service the

+plugin will service the instance as a write notification callback
+for alert formatting.
+
+=item B<StoreRates> B<true>|B<false>
+
+Determines whether or not C<COUNTER>, C<DERIVE> and C<ABSOLUTE> data sources
+are converted to a I<rate> (i.e. a C<GAUGE> value). If set to B<false> (the
+default), no conversion is performed. Otherwise the conversion is performed

+=item B<GraphitePrefix>
+
+A prefix can be added in the metric name when outputting in the I<Graphite> format.

+=item B<GraphiteEscapeChar>
+
+Specify a character to replace dots (.) in the host part of the metric name.

+metric parts (host, plugin, type).
+Default is "_" (I<Underscore>).
+

+=head2 Plugin C<snmp_agent>
+
+The I<snmp_agent> plugin is an AgentX subagent that receives and handles queries
+from SNMP master agent and returns the data collected by read plugins.
+The I<snmp_agent> plugin handles requests only for OIDs specified in
+configuration file. To handle SNMP queries the plugin gets data from collectd
+and translates requested values from collectd's internal format to SNMP format.
+This plugin is a generic plugin and cannot work without configuration.
