I posted a note on your PR to the collectd project but also wanted to reach out directly. I think your work looks extremely useful. I want to do exactly this, parse my apache logs and generate metrics from them. I was hoping to use CollectD to do that across both Apache and Varnish, and plugins exist already for Varnish, your plugin would be the missing link for CollectD.

Unfortunately I probably don't want to manually patch the CollectD source. Feels like it'll be difficult to achieve with puppet, and we try to keep everything deployed through puppet for consistency. Assuming I can find an alternative strategy to get the data into StatsD, I'll probably use that. Even though I may not end up using it, your plugin looks like an excellent addition to CollectD.

If it's possible to create plugins that do not require merging with the core source code, I'd definitely try to use your code in that way.

@chmac thanks to you !! Could be interesting to add a new Issue as a Feature Request ( Support for external plugins) in collectd project. Would you like to open yourself ? In that case I will reference this plugin as a example .. Thanks!!
