[collectd] Is there any possibility to hide the address in the web archive?

that sucks. There have been three accesses of the message in the
archives:
  faui07d.informatik.uni-erlangen.de.
  www.kavdane.cz.
  DSL01.83.171.165.7.ip-pool.NEFkom.net.

The first and the last were most likely me, the second one was likely
you, that the archive does not seem to be theproblem in this particular
case.

Apparently I modified the wrong part of the script. I'll have another go
