[collectd] Help needed - Target replace

Hi,

I have a collectd config as below...

<Plugin write_graphite>
  <Carbon>
    Host ...
...
   Prefix "collectd.production.XYZ."
    Postfix ""
    StoreRates true
    AlwaysAppendDS false
    EscapeCharacter "_"
  </Carbon>
</Plugin>

I want to "target replace" XYZ with ABC-1. But the following isn't working.

LoadPlugin "target_replace"
<Chain "PreCache">
    <Rule "add_abc">
        <Target "replace">
            Plugin "\\<XYZ\\>" "ABC-1"
        </Target>
    </Rule>
</Chain>

Kindly help with the correct syntax.

If the above is not possible, what is the best way to add a string like
"ABC-1" just before the Host? The final graphite path would look
like collectd.collectd_vsphere.production.ABC-1.abc_xyz_com.snmp.percent-CPUCore1

Thanks in advance.
