[collectd] Plugins values

[Frédéric Pégé]

Hi,

I've just discovered Collectd, and I'm already loving it.
there is nonetheless something that bugs me.

The load values are returned in 3 different values under the same item.
load/load. Values are longterm, shortterm and midterm. And I'm ok with that.
Same with the interface bandwith. It returns rx & tx in the same item,
that's fine.
The Swap, memory, and many others store each value in a different item,
with the value name "value".

Do you have an explanation for these different ways ?
Can I help ?

Best regards, Fred.
