Thanks Mark! Would it make sense to improve that plugin and let it fall-back to writing to disk, say by using one of the csv output plugins, in case of failure? Even if nothing in Collectd itself is able to pick up that data and re-send it at a later time, it would allow others to put things like file tailing agents there that, should any data be written to disk, could pick it up and resend it.
Thoughts?
