Package: collectd-dev (4.4.2-3)

statistics collection and monitoring daemon (development files)

collectd is a small daemon which collects system information periodically and provides mechanisms to monitor and store the values in a variety of ways. It is written in C for performance. Since the daemon doesn't need to startup every time it wants to update the values it's very fast and easy on the system. Also, the statistics are very fine grained since the files are updated every 10 seconds.

This package contains the development files needed to create your own plugins.
