Hello,
 
My team and I are interested in writing a plugin that cleans old 
collectd-generated files/logs (so we don't have to rely on an external 
config/tool like logrotate to clean up after collectd).  We've written such a 
plugin in Java, but discovered that Java plugin support is not included in 
all/many collectd packages out there, so we can't count on this working for all 
Linux distros, for example.
 
Thus, we are now considering writing this plugin in either Perl or Python.
 
So our questions are:
 
1) Is either Perl or Python plugin support available in all collectd packages 
or at least collectd packages the most popular Linux distros use?
 
2) Should we use Perl or Python for this - are they equal in terms of 
capabilities, limitations, and being updated with every collectd release?
 
Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Otis
