Resolution: NEEDINFO:No

Description

When a machine become overloaded, collectd can't correctly write data to rrd files.
See https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Inside_the_RRDtool_plugin

The suggested configuration (from EPEL 7) is /etc/collectd.d/rrdtoolconf :

LoadPlugin rrdtool
<Plugin rrdtool>
       DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd" 
       CacheTimeout 120
       CacheFlush   900
</Plugin>

After the modification, please also backport this related fix: https://github.com/NethServer/dev/issues/5098
