Does it work on rhel 6.7 ?

Hi, Workaround, put following line to "/etc/os-release" NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
Or could you help to test following setup.py?
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
The installation script provides the following key functions:
1. Installation of dependencies required for the plugin.
2. Download and extraction of plugin source code into a predefined location /opt/collectd-plugins/
3. Plugin configuration using EC2 metadata as defaults if possible.
4. Configuration of Collectd in order to use this plugin.

Depending on the version of collectd installed on the host we provide the following options:
1. version >= 5.5.0 - by default we will supply a configuration and whitelist with percentage host metrics enabled.
2. version >= 5.0.0 - we will offer option to inject our plugin into the existing configuration (no metrics are whitelisted).
3. any other version of collectd is not supported.
