2023-10-29luci-app-statistics: Add backup/restore for RRD statisticsJohn Kohl
Add a backup/restore capability for rrd data storage in luci_statistics. The data storage is typically in /tmp and does not survive reboot or sysupgrade. This adds an option for the administrator to configure the RRD plugin, so that the RRD data are are preserved with a backup copy in the overlay file system. This works for shutdown/reboot, sysupgrade (backup config files, restore config files, and true sysupgrade). Also fix a bug where starting luci_statistics for the first time would not get a restart a running collectd: during install of the package when it is not included in the base flashed image, collectd might be started when it got installed/configured before this package gets installed/configured. So we need to check if it's running, and restart it to use the luci_statistics configuration. Signed-off-by: John Kohl <jtk.git@bostonpog.org>
