[collectd] Aggregating statsd metrics

[Bill Schwanitz]

David,

I’m doing something similar on an interface rename. I think the big difference is that I have a target return in there - try adding it as I have it below?

Bill

#
# Filtering chains
#
LoadPlugin "match_regex"
LoadPlugin "target_replace"
LoadPlugin "target_set"

<Chain "PreCache">
  <Rule “foo_iface">
    <Match "regex">
      Plugin “^foo$"
      PluginInstance “^eth0$"
    </Match>
    <Target "set">
       PluginInstance “bar"
    </Target>
    Target "return"
  </Rule>
<…>
</Chain>
