$ collectd -T
try on your machine
The command "collectd -T" is used to test the configuration of the Collectd daemon. Collectd is a system statistics collection daemon that gathers various performance metrics from your system and can store or display them.
When you execute the command "collectd -T", it runs Collectd in test mode, which means it checks the configuration file for any syntax errors or issues. It parses the configuration file and reports back any errors or warnings that it encounters.
By using this command, you can ensure that your Collectd configuration file is correctly written and that there are no syntax errors. It helps in verifying the validity of the configuration before starting the Collectd daemon.
