Yes, how you send metrics to the exporter is up to you. You can do this in your code, or use carbon-relay. For the best results, I would recommend running...

I think this could be explained better in the README. I'll update the issue title to reflect that.

Restructuring happened in #144. A next step could be to transition to a common collector. For that, the first thing would be to catalogue the behaviors, and see what needs...

`aws_dimensions` should be _all_ dimensions on the metric. I don't use CWAgent, but [apparently](https://codeburst.io/amazon-cloudwatch-metrics-by-example-249826b1404d) there are more on these metrics than you listed. What happens when you add all the...

Ideally, we would detect whether HUP is available on the platform and don't use it otherwise. Is there an equivalent mechanism on Windows?

Ah cool. I am hesitant to remove it for the platforms it works on but it sounds like we can do without it for Windows.

Reading up on signals in Java ([signal chaining](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/troubleshoot/handle-signals-and-exceptions.html#GUID-CB49A2A7-2A9F-4C18-948F-6D4A96FF688D), [more info on sun.misc.Signal](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34188676)) makes me reconsider whether we should support this at all. Requiring Windows users to recompile is not a...

Rather than splitting the effort between two options, could it be invested in making collectd faster? On Thu, Jun 11, 2020 at 8:14 AM Ben Kochie wrote: > @hasso If...

Unfortunately I am as lost as you are on this. From the `service:resourceType` format, [based on](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html#genref-aws-service-namesspaces) the [ARN format for autoscaling](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/control-access-using-iam.html), I would expect `autoscaling:autoScalingGroup` to work, but apparently it...

There is not, it's a good idea to add one! I also agree that automatic reload should leave the existing configuration in place. Can you open a separate issue for...
