Dave, Collect plugins run in the collectd process itself, so this licensing only applies to the plugin code itself. Nothing specific to collectd actually links to VPP.
Steve Shin wrote a first version of collectd plugin in python that queries VPP by invoking vppctl and parsing the output (I guess we could use the python client API as well although licensing for python code is a bit special). It can extract all vpp interface stats with the proper collectd config.

Yours, Joel From: tsc-boun...@lists.fd.io [mailto:tsc-boun...@lists.fd.io] On Behalf Of Dave Barach (dbarach) Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2016 3:27 PM To: t...@lists.fd.io; vpp-dev <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io>; Ed Warnicke (eaw) <e...@cisco.com> Subject: [tsc] collectd I took a note to have a look at collectd during yesterday’s vpp project call. There appears to be a license issue. See https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin_architecture - “The [plugin] license must be compatible to collectd's own license, the GPL 2.” Give that all fd.io code carries an Apache2 license, that seems like a showstopper. Comments from the TSC and community are more than welcome. Thanks… Dave
