The cURL plugin uses libcurl to read files and then parses them according to the configuration. The cURL library is best known to read web pages via HTTP, but a lot more protocol handlers are available, so reading via SSH or from FTP is available as well as local access via file://.
This plugin is a generic plugin, i.e. it cannot work without configuration, because there is no reasonable default behavior. Please read the Plugin curl section of the collectd.conf(5) manual page for an in-depth description of the plugin's configuration.
