[collectd] plugins don't "provide a read function"

[samuel gipe]

Using collectd-3.11.2 on a solaris 10 machine, I find notices in
/var/adm/messages that most plugins don't "provide a read function"(excerpt
below).  The plugins "load" and "ping" produce data (and don't advise regarding
the read function), but others do not.  Do you have advice on how to get the
other modules to report data or how to better troubleshoot?

Configure finds libkstat and libstatgrab, but the modules do not seem to be
able to make use of either library.  In the case of memory.c, the module
doesn't look for libstatgrab and doesn't seem to know about libkstat:
48:#if defined (HOST_VM_INFO) || HAVE_SYSCTLBYNAME || KERNEL_LINUX ||
HAVE_LIBKSTAT

It looks like one module that does report data, load, is the only one to use
libstatgrab. 29:#if defined(HAVE_GETLOADAVG) || defined(KERNEL_LINUX) ||
defined(HAVE_LIBSTATGRAB)

thanks in advance!
