The cURL-XML plugin reads files using libcurl and parses it as Extensible Markup Language (XML). The parsed tree is then traversed according to the user's configuration, using the XML Path Language (XPath).
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_xml section of the collectd.conf(5) manual page for an in-depth description of the plugin's configuration.
