My reading of the network [1] and protocol docs [2] is that the model is as follows: - local processes push to collectd on localhost via UDP - collectd on each node pushes via UDP to whichever server(s) are running collectd with a plugin for storing data.
Is that an accurate summary? (And specifically, am I correct that collectd avoids any polling over tcp?)
