-# BOINC collector
-
-Monitors task counts for the Berkeley Open Infrastructure Networking Computing (BOINC) distributed computing client using the same RPC interface that the BOINC monitoring GUI does.
-
-It provides charts tracking the total number of tasks and active tasks, as well as ones tracking each of the possible states for tasks.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Edit the `python.d/boinc.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
-directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
-
-```bash
-cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
-sudo ./edit-config python.d/boinc.conf
-```
-
-BOINC requires use of a password to access it's RPC interface. You can
-find this password in the `gui_rpc_auth.cfg` file in your BOINC directory.
-
-By default, the module will try to auto-detect the password by looking
-in `/var/lib/boinc` for this file (this is the location most Linux
-distributions use for a system-wide BOINC installation), so things may
-just work without needing configuration for the local system.
-
-You can monitor remote systems as well:
-
-```yaml
-remote:
- hostname: some-host
- password: some-password
-```
-
-
-
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
-To troubleshoot issues with the `boinc` module, run the `python.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The
-output will give you the output of the data collection job or error messages on why the collector isn't working.
-
-First, navigate to your plugins directory, usually they are located under `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's
-not the case on your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the setting `plugins directory`. Once you're in the
-plugin's directory, switch to the `netdata` user.
-
-```bash
-cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
-sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
-```
-
-Now you can manually run the `boinc` module in debug mode:
-
-```bash
-./python.d.plugin boinc debug trace
-```
