[collectd] GaugeInc: Patch for "tail" plugin

[Gregory Giguashvili]

Hi,

 

I've encountered the following problem (looks like missing
functionality) with CollectD tail plugin. I'd like to present number of
encountered patterns in RRD graph "as is". Reading RRD documentation at
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/tut/rrdtutorial.en.html revealed that I
need GAUGE RRD type for this to happen.

 

However, tail plugin is missing GaugeInc DSType, so I had to patch the
code to make this change. If this functionality already exists, I would
appreciate an explanation on how to configure it.

 

Q1: does this change make sense?

Q2: will you accept and maintain GaugeInc changes starting from 4.10.0
version?

 

Thank you

Giga
