regexps fixed for collectd 5.x

[underley]

Collectd 5.x graphite_writer plugin produces metrics like: collectd.host-1.memory.memory-buffered collectd.host-1.df-root.df_complex-reserved collectd.host-1.disk-dm-0.disk_octets.write Original regexps doesn't match such metrics.

This works for us on our pre-deployment environment. What's stopping it from being merged?

[Dieterbe]

whoops, i somehow forgot about this one.

hmm pretty sure we use collectd 5.4.0, our cpu metrics look like server.cpu.num.cpu.idle. same for interface, memory etc.

[underley]

collectd 5.1 from debian wheezy: collectd.server-name.cpu-1.cpu-user

[X-Trade]

Yeah, that's how it is for us too.

Looks to me like this plugin handles both though?

[underley]

exactly

[Dieterbe]

also using the phrase "fixes for collectd 5.x" is not really accurate, since apparantly it's only for older versions of 5.x (as they work for collectd 5.4)

Ping? If the things I mentioned could be fixed, that would make a nice PR.
