Willy,
I've also gotten an email from one of the collectd maintainers. They
are interested in including it as a plugin on that side of things as
well. It's a tough call because if either program changes the plugin
will need to be updated to stay compatible. It seems to me that the
cleanest solution would be for me (or someone else) to maintain the
plugin separately and release changes to both projects. Do you have any
additional wisdom? I'm trying to decide if I have enough time to do an
effective job as a maintainer.

I was given permission today to open source the collectd plugin I wrote
for the RightScale environment. This supports reading from the stats
socket that haproxy 1.3 provides. It uses the column names from the
"show stat" command for mapping so it should survive format changes in
the future. You can find it at:

Special thanks to Clinicsoft llc (http://liveedit.com) for funding this
development and releasing it as open source.
That's really nice, thanks to you and them for this work.
I don't know if you're planning to make it evolve a lot or not.
If not, we can include it into the "contrib" directory in the
haproxy sources if you want, next to the net-snmp plugin. The
advantage is that it gives more exposure to your plugin since
it's shipped with the program. The downside is that it's heavier
to update when people ask for fixes or enhancements. I've
checked your license and it's compatible, so it's up to you to
decide.
Best regards,
Willy
