Apr 20 17:34:12 hostname collectd[32172]: collectd: Stopping 5 read threads.
Apr 20 17:34:12 hostname collectd[32172]: rrdtool plugin: Shutting down
the queue thread. This may take a while.

Apr 20 17:34:12 hostname collectd[32172]: network plugin: Stopping

Apr 20 17:34:14 hostname collectd[5836]: Initialization complete,
