Systemd Units Plugin
The systemd_units plugin gathers systemd unit status on Linux. It relies on
systemctl list-units --all --type=service
to collect data on service status.
The results are tagged with the unit name and provide enumerated fields for
loaded, active and running fields, indicating the unit health.
This plugin is related to the win_services module, which
fulfills the same purpose on windows.
In addition to services, this plugin can gather other unit types as well,
see systemctl list-units --all --type help
for possible options.

## values are "socket", "target", "device", "mount", "automount", "swap",
## "timer", "path", "slice" and "scope ":
# unittype = "service"
