Hi. Is it confirmed that repository will be removed? As per discussion here https support can be easily added to collectd_exporter (even by patching locally). Unfortunately TLS is not supported by write_prometheus plugin.

[juliusv]

@octo How is TLS usually addressed on the collectd side?

Hey, any background on why it's being deprecated?

[juliusv]

Ah sorry, I should have included more context in here as well, see https://github.com/prometheus/collectd_exporter/pull/95#issuecomment-626669322

@juliusv collectd does not currently accept metrics via HTTP[S] POST requests. collectd/go-plugins#1 proposes such a plugin.

Collectd_exporter had much (several times) better performance than collectd when we investigated about year ago or so. I might revisit it at some point, but I don't think that anything is really changed in this regard.

@hasso If you could provide some benchmarks and proof of this, it would make for a very good use case to keep this project going.

Rather than splitting the effort between two options, could it be invested in making collectd faster?
