[collectd] filetr config

[Andrés J. Díaz]

Hi János

I can try your config to check the problem and works fine for me, this
is my test config:

<Chain "PostCache">
  <Rule "foo">
    <Match "regex">
     Host "^localhost$"
      Type "^load$"
      Plugin "^load$"
    </Match>
    <Target "write">
        Plugin "network"
    </Target>
  </Rule>
  <Target "write">
  Plugin "rrdtool"
  </Target>
</Chain>

And collectd send only data for specified match, using collectd.py I can see:

[1244139572] localhost/load/load [(1, 0.059999999999999998), (1,
0.27000000000000002), (1, 0.23000000000000001)]
[1244139582] localhost/load/load [(1, 0.12), (1, 0.28000000000000003),
(1, 0.23999999999999999)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But  I cannot get data about cpu plugin, for example (and it's enabled :D)

Maybe you forget the match_regex? It's a common error for me :)
If not, What version of collectd are you using? (I do the test in 4.7 branch)
Do check the debug output?

I hope to help you.

Regards,
  Andrés
