[collectd] types.db, data-sets of arbitrary length

[Oleg Rosowiecki]

Hi Everybody,

Is it possible for a read plugin to generate data-sets of arbitrary length?
Configuration in types.db assumes that the value list is of a fixed size.
What if my plugin is able to read 5 COUNTER values on one invocation, and
10 COUNTER values on another (e.g. because the number of devices connected
to the system may vary)?

Do I need to add a custom type to types.db in this case and how do I do
that?
Thanks,
Oleg
