To be more specific, I'm trying to find out what the tail plugin is sending to the server - for instance, if I am providing data to a GaugeAverage type metric, does the tail plugin submit a value for every line read from the file? Or does the plugin aggregate the data by time first and send a value every interval? I need to emulate that behavior. I know that wireshark can decode the collectd binary protocol, if there is some way to make the tail plugin use it then I can get an idea of what it is sending.
