> Hello everybody,
>
> I've packaged a new feature release for collectd, version 5.2.0.
>
> Starting with this release, it is possible to set a separate collection
> interval for each and every read plugin. For example, you might want to query
> the CPU plugin every 10 seconds, the Load plugin every minute and the DF plugin
> every hour. Huge thanks to Sebastian Harl who put a lot of effort into this!
>
> Also new in this release are the aggregation plugin, a plugin for calculating
> averages, sums, … over sets of values, the PF plugin which collects statistics
> from BSD's packet filter and collectd-tg, a network traffic generator that can
> be used for load testing.
