<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I notice that when collectd cannot successfully poll a device it will invoke a exponential backoff. Example seen in the log:<div>[notice] read-function of plugin `example' failed. Will suspend it for 600.000 seconds.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there any way to turn this off globally or per device? If we have a long maintenance it can be a long time before it starts collecting data. I know we can just restart collectd, but this may be overlooked.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Matt</div> </div></body>
