[collectd] how does a plugin keep track of multiple configurations?

[German Gutierrez]

I wrote a python plugin that can take multiple configs, take it as an
example:
https://github.com/GermanG/collectd_py_plugins/blob/master/memory_usage_collectd.py

In short, I needed to store them in an array to retrieve them when being
called.

Hope it helps.
