Description
Collectd should report its own CPU usage, and possible CPU usage of its children.
Functions probably should be used for this:
getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &self_ru);
getrusage(RUSAGE_CHILDREN, &childs_ru);
Currently Collectd has CollectInternalStats option, enabled it will report write queue length, cache size and metrics dropped metrics. It's an open question if CPU usage metric should be enabled by another option or this one.
I will appreciate your opinions about this.
