Currently the plugin name being sent in the UDP messages is always "any" and it would be nice if we could set that to something else. This should be an optional parameter to Connection, and should be unit-tested.

collectd.Connection objects with identical parameters are singletons, so Connection() is Connection()

However, in collectd 1.0, we fail to check in our init method whether Connection has already been initialized, and so we re-initialize all of our private data members. This has been fixed in the repo, but will not go out to PyPI until 1.0.1

If we say

conn.stats.record('foo', bar = 5)

then it works just fine, but if I say

conn.stats.record(u'foo', bar = 5)

then it ends up causing a formatting error when the messages are sent in the UDP-sender thread. We should automatically coerce these values into strings.

Will this be ported to work with python 3?

When the program exits a last snapshot should be taken and sent to collectd.

Thanks.

We should be able to say

>>> import collectd
>>> collectd.__version__
'1.0.2'
>>> collectd.__version_info__
(1, 0, 2, 'final', 0)
