Summary

Red Hat OpenStack Platform Operational Tools provides the facilities for monitoring a private or public Red Hat OpenStack Platform cloud.
collectd is a small C-language daemon, which reads various system metrics periodically and updates RRD files (creating them if necessary). Because the daemon does not start up each time it updates files, it has a low system footprint.
Security fix:
* collectd: double free in csnmp_read_table function in snmp.c (CVE-2017-16820)
