Hi Shirly
A few questions about the documentation i found for swap in collectd:

https://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.conf.5.shtml#plugin_swap

1. It discusses different behavior depending on how it is configured. Do we use the defaults for each of the attributes?

2. hat is meant by "ReportIO true|false" when we have a different metric for reporting IO - collectd.swap.swap_io
i.e. what's the difference between them?

I could not find any documentation on swap_io so I will be moving it out of this RFE.

We use :

  ReportBytes true
  ValuesPercentage true

Enables or disables reporting swap IO. Defaults to true.

This is useful for the cases when swap IO is not neccessary, is not available, or is not reliable.

Please do not remove. even if the description is missing.
