When set to B<true>, various statistics about the I<collectd> daemon will be
collected, with "collectd" as the I<plugin name>. Defaults to B<false>.
-The "write_queue" I<plugin instance> reports the number of elements currently
-queued and the number of elements dropped off the queue by the
-B<WriteQueueLimitLow>/B<WriteQueueLimitHigh> mechanism.
+The following metrics are reported:
-The "cache" I<plugin instance> reports the number of elements in the value list
-cache (the cache you can interact with using L<collectd-unixsock(5)>).

+=item C<collectd-write_queue/queue_length>
+
+The number of metrics currently in the write queue. You can limit the queue
+length with the B<WriteQueueLimitLow> and B<WriteQueueLimitHigh> options.
+
+=item C<collectd-write_queue/derive-dropped>
+
+The number of metrics dropped due to a queue length limitation.
+If this value is non-zero, your system can't handle all incoming metrics and
+protects itself against overload by dropping metrics.

+=item C<collectd-cache/cache_size>

+The number of elements in the metric cache (the cache you can interact with
+using L<collectd-unixsock(5)>).
