	Retention Policy	Database retention policy name
	Timestamp Precision	Time units of the Timestamp
Extra settings	User Agent	HTTP user agent sent to the database backend ( useful to debug input data from de backend view), if not set the agent will send as user agent snmpCollector-<InstanceID> (from the [general] config.toml section)
	Description	Some useful description to administrators

Dummy Server

Until the user doesn't set up any database, an internal dummy server is created to send data from all gathered devices discarding data at the end of poll.

The "default" Server

SnmpCollector is able to send its own stats to InfluxDB: it will look for an InfluxDB Server named "default" to use as output backend, if it doesn't exist It will send over the Dummy Server.

(Pending define default and dummy influxservers)
