I agree...
See the comments of https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/136 : this is not a new issue.

About types.db, I suggest that you do not change it, but add your own file.
In collectd.conf, you can specify more than one types.db file.
When you upgrade collectd, you can replace the unmodified types.db with the new one and keep your addons in another file. Of course, this will not solve your problem about restarting collectd when you make a change.

I have a problem. Every time I add a new type to types.db I have to
restart collectd. This lead to my nagios dashboard being fully red.
Any ideas of how re-read types.db without restarting?

I've this problem too while editing collectd.conf, but this is less
frequent.. I know that collectd keeps a AVL Tree cache, that
collectd-nagios reads from unix socket. Keeping cache entries between
restarts would solve that. What you people think?

When I say restart I mean receiving a SIGHUP.

Cheers!
