You must set the same `types.db` files that your `collectd` server uses. Otherwise, Fluent Bit might not be able to interpret the payload properly.

The `typesdb` parameter supports multiple files separated by commas. When multiple files are specified, later entries take precedence over earlier ones if there are duplicate type definitions. This allows you to override default types with custom definitions.
The `typesdb` parameter supports multiple files separated by commas. When multiple files are specified, later entries take precedence over earlier ones if there are duplicate type definitions. This lets you override default types with custom definitions.

For example:

```yaml
typesdb: '/usr/share/collectd/types.db,/etc/collectd/custom.db'
```

In this configuration, custom type definitions in `/etc/collectd/custom.db` will override any matching definitions from `/usr/share/collectd/types.db`.
