+=item B<RestoreAffinityPolicy> I<AllCPUs>|I<Restore>
+
+Reading data from CPU has side-effect: collectd process's CPU affinity mask
+changes. After reading data is completed, affinity mask needs to be restored.
+This option allows to set restore policy.
+
+B<AllCPUs> (the default): Restore the affinity by setting affinity to any/all
+CPUs.
+
+B<Restore>: Save affinity using sched_getaffinity() before reading data and
+restore it after.
+
+On some systems, sched_getaffinity() will fail due to inconsistency of the CPU
+set size between userspace and kernel. In these cases plugin will detect the
+unsuccessful call and fail with an error, preventing data collection.
+Most of configurations does not need to save affinity as Collectd process is
+allowed to run on any/all available CPUs.
+
+If you need to save and restore affinity and get errors like 'Unable to save
+the CPU affinity', setting 'possible_cpus' kernel boot option may also help.

+
+This plugin supports two authentication methods: When configured, credentials
+are read from the JSON credentials file specified with B<CredentialFile>.

+I<metadata server> and used to authenticate to GCM.
