Comment 4 for bug 1905581

The above 2 updates, which reduce the collectd samples data base consumption by 80-85%, implement the fix for this issue.

Real system measurements extrapolated to account for a 100 node system indicate that the collectd samples database could grow to ~90Gbytes in 1 week compared to less than 10 GBytes over the same period with the above updates applied.

A weeks worth of samples will not amount to more than 10 GBytes in a 100 node system and will therefore not put the rootfs as risk of filling up.
