The following charts.d plugins are supported:
+---
+
+# hddtemp
+
+The plugin will collect temperatures from disks
+
+It will create one chart with all active disks
+
+1. **temperature in Celsius**
+
+### configuration
+
+hddtemp needs to be running in daemonized mode
+
+```sh
+# host with daemonized hddtemp
+hddtemp_host="localhost"
+
+# port on which hddtemp is showing data
+hddtemp_port="7634"
+
+# array of included disks
+# the default is to include all
+hddtemp_disks=()
+```
+
+---
+
+# libreswan
+
+The plugin will collects bytes-in, bytes-out and uptime for all established libreswan IPSEC tunnels.
+
+The following charts are created, **per tunnel**:
+
+1. **Uptime**
+
+ * the uptime of the tunnel
+
+2. **Traffic**
+
+ * bytes in
+ * bytes out
+
+### configuration
+
+Its config file is `/etc/netdata/charts.d/libreswan.conf`.
+
+The plugin executes 2 commands to collect all the information it needs:
+
+```sh
+ipsec whack --status
+ipsec whack --trafficstatus
+```
+
+The first command is used to extract the currently established tunnels, their IDs and their names.
+The second command is used to extract the current uptime and traffic.
+
+Most probably user `netdata` will not be able to query libreswan, so the `ipsec` commands will be denied.
+The plugin attempts to run `ipsec` as `sudo ipsec ...`, to get access to libreswan statistics.
+
+To allow user `netdata` execute `sudo ipsec ...`, create the file `/etc/sudoers.d/netdata` with this content:
+
+```
+netdata ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/ipsec whack --status
+netdata ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/ipsec whack --trafficstatus
+```
+
+Make sure the path `/sbin/ipsec` matches your setup (execute `which ipsec` to find the right path).

### configuration
-If you need to configure it by hand, create the file
-`/etc/netdata/squid.conf` with the following variables:
+This is the internal default for `/etc/netdata/nut.conf`
-- `squid_host=IP` the IP of the squid host
-- `squid_port=PORT` the port the squid is listening
-- `squid_url="URL"` the URL with the statistics to be fetched from squid
-- `squid_timeout=SECONDS` how much time we should wait for squid to respond
-- `squid_update_every=SECONDS` the frequency of the data collection
+```sh
+# a space separated list of UPS names
+# if empty, the list returned by 'upsc -l' will be used
+nut_ups=
-Example `/etc/netdata/squid.conf`:
+# how frequently to collect UPS data
+nut_update_every=2

+# postfix
+
+The plugin will collect the postfix queue size.
+
+It will create two charts:
+
+1. **queue size in emails**
+2. **queue size in KB**
+
+### configuration
+
+This is the internal default for `/etc/netdata/postfix.conf`

-squid_host=127.0.0.1
-squid_port=3128
-squid_url="cache_object://127.0.0.1:3128/counters"
