The Lua plugin implements a Lua interpreter into collectd. This makes it possible to write plugins in Lua which are executed by collectd without the need to start a heavy interpreter every interval. See collectd-lua(5) for details.
This plugin is a generic plugin, i.e. it cannot work without configuration, because there is no reasonable default behavior. Please read the Plugin lua section of the collectd.conf(5) manual page for an in-depth description of the plugin's configuration.
