We know that CSV data is not very exciting. collectd is primarily a transmission and aggregation system with plugin capabilities. This makes it very good at collecting performance data and sending that data to other presentation systems, but its own output is minimal to nonexistent. This is by design and keeps collectd efficient when handling data from hundreds of servers.
However, don't fret! This chapter has several sections devoted to viewing collectd data.
