Description
The collectd.conf man page is contradictory/ambiguous as to the issue of ordering LoadPlugin options and blocks.
- SYNOPSIS uses a <Plugin df> block in the absence of "LoadPlugin df". Under the default settings for AutoLoadPlugin, this would fail.
- DESCRIPTION states "the LoadPlugin option must occur before the appropriate <Plugin ...> block", however this is only true for the default setting (false) for AutoLoadPlugin. This also makes SYNOPSIS more confusing.
- The AutoLoadPlugin section then correctly states that "LoadPlugin" is only necessary if AutoLoadPlugin is set to false (the default).
I know this is a bit of nit picking, but as a first time user reading the docs it was immediately confusing, especially because DESCRIPTION makes SYNOPSIS look like invalid syntax, until you skim far enough to see the AutoLoadPlugin option.
