Package: collectd Version: 4.10.1-2.1 Severity: normal Hi.
I think it is not fun having collectd write every 5 minutes, about 100 rrd files. I would like to make collectd buffer all statistics for example last 60 minutes, and after filling this time update real rrd files. Without such precution hard disk in laptop will often spin-down (becuase of inactvity) and spin-up (becuase of short period of collectd writing). It can also help for non laptop cases - on server we could have even 1000 rrd collectd files, and updating them could mean lots of hard disk seeks (which are slow, so can significantly affect performance). I could change interval of dumping data, but this will make collectd not very usefull. I think it is easy to just keep data in memory, and from time to time (or when exiting, or asked to reload files), write it for real. In this way it could be even usefull to have for example 1 minute interval. But still write data to rrd every 60 minutes (for desktop something like 10 minutes will be more appropriate).
