-.. note:: Currently, the DPDK library doesn’t support API to de-initialize
- the DPDK resources allocated on the initialization. It means, the collectd
- plugin will not be able to release the allocated DPDK resources
- (locks/memory/pci bindings etc.) correctly on collectd shutdown or reinitialize
- the DPDK library if primary DPDK process is restarted. The only way to release
- those resources is to terminate the process itself. For this reason, the plugin
- forks off a separate collectd process. This child process becomes a secondary
- DPDK process which can be run on specific CPU cores configured by user through
- collectd configuration file (“Coremask” EAL configuration option, the
- hexadecimal bitmask of the cores to run on).
+The plugin uses default values (as shown) for the socket paths, if you use different values,
+uncomment and update ``ClientSocketPath`` and ``DpdkSocketPath`` as required.

-.. note:: dpdkstat plugin initialization time depends on read interval. It
- requires 5 read cycles to set up internal buffers and states, during that time
- no statistics are submitted. Also, if plugin is running and the number of DPDK
- ports is increased, internal buffers are resized. That requires 3 read cycles
- and no port statistics are submitted during that time.
+.. note::
+
+ To gather metrics from a DPDK application, telemetry needs to be enabled.
+ This can be done by setting the ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_TELEMETRY=y`` config flag.
+ The application then needs to be run with the ``--telemetry`` EAL option, e.g.
+ ::
