To build Application Insights CollectD writer plugin, please do the following:

1. Download CollectD Java API sources and compile them using JDK 1.6. The output jar should be named: 'collectd-api.jar'. More info on compiling CollectD sources can be found here: https://collectd.org/dev-info.shtml
2. Create a new directory for CollectD library you just created, and set a new environment variable 'COLLECTD_HOME' pointing to that folder.
3. Copy the new jar into %COLLECTD_HOME%/lib
4. Reload Application Insights project. CollectD writer plugin sub-project should now be loaded. IDE restart may be required in order to identify the new environment variable.

• To create a Java 6 compatible build you need to either have JAVA_HOME point to "Java 6 SDK" path or set JAVA_JRE_6 environment variable to point to [JRE 6 JRE installation directory]
