I thought I read somewhere that was officially supported but the only thing I could find was "The complex configuration callbacks are called once for each <Plugin /> block parsed for that plugin": https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin_architecture#Complex_configuration_callbacks Multiple <Plugin> blocks are really handy with a configuration management system. For example, with the tcpconns plugin I have a set of local and remote ports to capture in the main conf on every host and then for each app/role I may add more ports. E.g., a MySQL server will have another block to capture 3306. Thanks Kimo
