[collectd] [PATCH V2] add Modbus/RTU support to modbus plugin

Eric Sandeen sandeen at sandeen.net
Wed Dec 10 22:38:09 CET 2014


This allows access to a local RS-485 serial port
via the modbus plugin by specifying i.e.

  Device "/dev/ttyUSB0"
  Baudrate 38400

in a <Host> block.

For now it assumes 8N1; adding another config option
to support other configurations could be done later.

Lightly tested on my local setup.

(FWIW I tested the previous modbus/TCP patch here too, and it
all works fine)

V2: Rebase, update docs
