Yes, the counter is in-memory and not written to disk. A reboot or a restart of collectd will reset it to zero. > Will the logfile being rotated (daily) reset the counter? No, it doesn't. > I looked at the other parts of the documentation tree and that seems > to suggest the counter is reset if there were no addtitions during an > Interval (ie if the rate was zero for the Interval); No, that's not the case. The counter is only ever increased by collectd. Can you tell me what parts of the documentation you were checking, so I can (try to) clarify the behavior there?
