A struct containing only numeric types. Values can either be an integer if the data-source is a counter, or a double if the data-source is of type "gauge". NaN and infinity are translated to undefined values ('U'). The current UNIX time is submitted along.

ErrnoException if writing to the socket produced an error, or CollectdException if an error happened while communicating (Collectd returns an error, the internal buffer wasn't empty (which means the caller haven't fully processed the last query), or we get unexpected / inconsistent data), or if more than 10 millions records where found
