Collectd has documentation distributed within
packages/sources.
Use 'man collectd.conf' - that is latest version of
documentation for your version.
Wiki is only wiki, it intended to share user experience
and usecases.
If you have one, you can modify these pages yourself
(account is required).
Web version of manpage is here:
https://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.conf.5.shtml#plugin_write_graphite
However, it is outdated too, and somebody needs to refresh
it.
Thanks for using Collectd.
