* iptables plugin: Support for the new libiptc API has been added.
|
|
|
Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch. The build system has been
|
|
|
updated to the plugin only includes the shipped header files when it
|
|
|
is linked with the shipped library, too.
|
|
|
* java plugin: Delay creating the JVM until after the daemon has
|
|
|
forked. The JVM internally creates threads that are lost when
|
|
|
forking. This means that Java-based plugins are now configured
|
|
|
during the init-phase, i. e. later than other plugins.
|
|
|
* libvirt plugin: Re-connect to libvirtd if connecting fails. Thanks
|
|
|
to Alan Pevec for the patch.
|
|
|
* network plugin: Fix the handling of the “CacheFlush” option: The
|
|
|
value was assigned to a wrong variable. The initialization of the
|
|
|
gcrypt library, which is used for signing / encrypting traffic, has
|
|
|
been fixed. Thanks to Luke Heberling for the patch.
|
|
|
* powerdns plugin: Set a timeout when reading data from the datagram
|
|
|
socket. Handling of the “LocalSocket” option has been fixed. An
|
|
|
incorrectly used “type” has been corrected. Thanks to Luke Heberling
|
|
|
for his patches.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
details have been added to the configuration summary. Support for
|
|
|
libtool 2.2 has been added.
|
|
|
* collectd: Two bugs with the threshold checking have been fixed. The
|
|
|
first one prevented thresholds to be checked at all, the second one
|
|
|
caused wrong behavior with the persistency option. Thanks to Andrés
|
|
|
J. Díaz for fixing these problems.
|
|
|
* collectd: Handling of the `Include' configuration option has been
|
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Make sure initialization is run only once. This
|
|
|
resolves problems under Solaris and potentially other systems.
|
|
|
Thanks to Amit Gupta for reporting this bug.
|
|
|
* java plugin: Make it possible to use dots ('.') instead of slashes
|
|
|
('/') as the class separator. Thanks to Randy Rizun for pointing
|
|
|
this out.
|
|
|
* swap plugin: A work-around for 32-bit Solaris has been added. Thanks
|
|
|
to Doug MacEachern for the patch.

|
|
|
multicast traffic from Ganglia's gmond daemon.
|
|
|
* java plugin: The new java plugin exports the collectd API to Java,
|
|
|
making it possible to write extensions to collectd in Java.
|
|
|
* memcachec plugin: The new memcachec plugin queries data from a
|
|
|
memcached daemon and parses it similar to the cURL plugin. Thanks to
|
|
|
Doug MacEachern for the initial code.
|
|
|
* memcached plugin: Support for connections over UNIX domain sockets
|
|
|
has been added. Thanks to Franck Lombardi for the patch.
|
|
|
* memory plugin: Support for OpenBSD and possibly other *BSDs has been
|
|
|
added. Thanks to Simon Kuhnle for the patch.

|
|
|
uptime. Thanks to Marco Chiappero for the patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-09-10, Version 4.6.5
|
|
|
* collectd: Remove old values when a cache entry is marked as missing.
|
|
|
This way the “GETVAL” command of the UnixSock plugin doesn't return
|
|
|
old, no longer valid values when this happens. Thanks to Andrés J.
|
|
|
Díaz for the patch.
|
|
|
* apache, ascent, bind, curl, nginx plugins: Advise the cURL library
|
|
|
to follow redirects. Thanks to Joey Hess for reporting this bug.
|
|
|
* df plugin: Check the ignorelist before stating the file system,
|
|
|
possibly reducing the number of stats considerably. Thanks to Joey
|
|
|
Hess for reporting this bug.
|
|
|
* iptables plugin: Support for the new libiptc API has been added.
|
|
|
Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch. The build system has been
|
|
|
updated to the plugin only includes the shipped header files when it
|
|
|
is linked with the shipped library, too.
|
|
|
* libvirt plugin: Re-connect to libvirtd if connecting fails. Thanks
|

Díaz for fixing this bug.
|
|
|
* collectd: A programming error has been fixed in the notification
|
|
|
code. The bug may result in an assertion failure.
|
|
|
* memcached plugin: Portability fix for Solaris. Thanks to Amit Gupta
|
|
|
for reporting the bug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-06-02, Version 4.6.3
|
|
|
* Build system, various plugins: Many build fixes for FreeBSD,
|
|
|
OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X. Big thanks to Doug MacEachern
|
|
|
for many fixes and providing a build system for many platforms,
|
|
|
Ulf Zimmermann for providing a FreeBSD system and Simon Kuhnle for
|
|
|
providing an OpenBSD system.
|
|
|
* collectd: Two bugs with the threshold checking have been fixed. The
|
|
|
first one prevented thresholds to be checked at all, the second one
|
|
|
caused wrong behavior with the persistency option. Thanks to Andrés
|
|
|
J. Díaz for fixing these problems.
|
|
|
* collectd: Handling of the `Include' configuration option has been
|
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
* battery plugin: Don't complain about a missing directory every
|
|
|
interval.
|
|
|
* exec plugin: Allow executed programs to close STDERR. Thanks to
|
|
|
Thorsten von Eicken for reporting this problem.
|
|
|
* irq plugin: Fix handling of overflowing 32-bit counters. Thanks to
|
|
|
Tomasz Pala for the patch.

|
|
|
the patch.
|

|
to Doug MacEachern for the patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-03-18, Version 4.6.2
|
|
|
* collectd: Some Solaris utility code has been improved.
|
|
|
* filter subsystem: Allow `Chains' without default targets.
|
|
|
* liboping: A patch to comply with strict aliasing rules has been
|
|
|
added.
|
|
|
* timediff match: Fix a typo: The match was registered with a wrong
|
|
|
name which prevented this match to be used as documented. Thanks to
|
|
|
Bruno Prémont for finding this problem.
|
|
|
* bind plugin: Fix collection of the cached RR sets. The number of RR
|
|
|
sets currently in the cache was collected as a counter value, which
|
|
|
is nonsense. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for implementing this.
|
|
|
* dns plugin: Don't pass NULL to `pcap_open_live': Some systems,
|
|
|
primarily BSDs, don't take it well and crash.
|
|
|
* oracle plugin: Portability to 64 bit systems has been improved.
|
|
|
* postgresql plugin: The default configuration has been improved.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Fix a possible race condition: If the network plugin
|
|
|
is brought and dispatches a value before the rrdtool plugin is
|
|
|
initialized, the daemon may crash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-22, Version 4.6.1
|
|
|
* collectd: Many documentation fixes.
|
|
|
* Collectd::Unixsock: Error handling has been improved.
|
|
|
* regex match: Don't link with the PCRE library.
|
|
|
* bind plugin: Various bugs have been fixed. Thanks to Bruno Prémont
|
|
|
for finding and fixing most of them.
|
|
|
* ipmi plugin: Fix an off-by-one error which could cause segmentation
|
|
|
faults. Thanks to Peter Holik for his patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-16, Version 4.6.0
|
|
|
* collectd: Added the `filter chain' infrastructure, which allows the
|
|
|
user to use `matches' and `targets' to control value processing.
|
|
|
* collectd: The new `-T' command line argument allows more in-depth
|
|
|
testing of a configuration. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for the patch.
|
|
|
* collectd-nagios: The Nagios integration command has been updated to
|
|
|
use libcollectdclient. The `percentage' aggregation function has
|
|
|
been added. Thanks to Fabian Linzberger for the patch.
|
|
|
* libcollectdclient: A library which abstracts communication with the
|
|
|
unixsock plugin for clients has been added.
|
|
|
* regex match: Match values by their identifies using regular
|
|
|
expressions.
|
|
|
* timediff match: Match for values with an invalid timestamp.
|
|
|
* value match: Select values by their data sources' values.
|
|
|
* notification target: Create and dispatch a notification.
|
|
|
* replace target: Replace parts of an identifier using regular
|
|
|
expressions.
|
|
|
* set target: Set (overwrite) entire parts of an identifier.
|
|
|
* bind plugin: This new plugin uses the new HTTP/XML interface to BIND
|
|
|
statistics, allowing very detailed name server statistics. Thanks to
|
|
|
Bruno Prémont for this plugin.
|
|
|
* cpu plugin: Report `interrupt' separately when using
|
|
|
sysctlbyname(3) (used under *BSD). Support for sysctl(3), for
|
|
|
example for native OpenBSD support, has been added. Thanks to Simon
|
|
|
Kuhnle for the patch.
|
|
|
* csv plugin: Make it possible to write values to STDOUT instead of
|
|
|
files. This is meant for testing purposes mostly. The output written
|
|
|
to STDOUT is compatible with the exec plugin. Thanks to Doug
|
|
|
MacEachern for the patch.
|
|
|
* curl plugin: This new plugin can be used to read web pages and parse
|
|
|
them using the same mechanism that's used in the tail plugin.
|
|
|
* dbi plugin: This new plugin allows you to connect to a variety of
|
|
|
relational databases and use SQL to gather custom statistics from
|
|
|
it. It is similar to the already existing PostgreSQL plugin but uses
|
|
|
libdbi to communicate with the database(s).
|
|
|
* interface plugin: Use the ignorelist framework when selecting /
|
|
|
ignoring interfaces. This allows one to use regular expressions to
|
|
|
select interfaces, too.
|
|
|
* ipmi plugin: Handle temporary IPMI error conditions more gracefully.
|
|
|
Thanks to Bruno Prémont for this patch.
|
|
|
* memcached plugin: Add hit-ratio metric. Thanks to Doug MacEachern
|
|
|
for the patch.
|
|
|
* mysql plugin: Allow connecting to a database via the UNIX domain
|
|
|
socket, too. Thanks to Mirko Buffoni for the patch.
|
|
|
* network plugin: Further performance improvements for the receive
|
|
|
code. This hopefully will help very large setups.
|
|
|
* openvpn plugin: This new plugin collects statistics provided by the
|
|
|
OpenVPN daemon. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for the patch.
|
|
|
* oracle plugin: This new plugin allows you to connect to an Oracle
|
|
|
database and use SQL to gather custom statistics from it. It is
|
|
|
similar to the already existing PostgreSQL plugin.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Compatibility fixes for broken versions of Perl 5.10
|
|
|
have been added.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Export the newly added plugin_write() to Perl plugins.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Added support for `notification meta data'.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Added support for the `filter chain' infrastructure by
|
|
|
allowing plugins to register `matches' and `targets'.
|
|
|
* postgresql plugin: The preferred configuration syntax has been
|
|
|
updated to be in line with the syntax used by the new dbi and oracle
|
|
|
plugins. The compatibility code for the old syntax is present.
|
|
|
Support for the new `Result' blocks and the interval parameter has
|
|
|
been added.
|
|
|
* processes plugin: Stacksize and virtual memory usage statistics have
|
|
|
been added. Portability fixes.
|
|
|
* rrdcached plugin: This new plugin uses the (still in development)
|
|
|
RRD accelerator daemon, rrdcached. This daemon works very similar to
|
|
|
the original rrdtool plugin of collectd, but adds some more nice
|
|
|
features.
|
|
|
* swap plugin: Code for OpenBSD (and possibly other *BSDs) has been
|
|
|
added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-09, Version 4.5.4
|
|
|
* Build system, various plugins: Many build fixes for FreeBSD,
|
|
|
OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X. Big thanks to Doug MacEachern
|
|
|
for many fixes and providing a build system for many platforms,
|
|
|
Ulf Zimmermann for providing a FreeBSD system and Simon Kuhnle for
|
|
|
providing an OpenBSD system.
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix a potential race condition when creating directories.
|
|
|
* battery plugin: Don't complain about a missing directory every
|
|
|
interval.
|
|
|
* dns plugin: Slight portability fixes.
|
|
|
* exec plugin: Allow executed programs to close STDERR. Thanks to
|
|
|
Thorsten von Eicken for reporting this problem.
|
|
|
* irq plugin: Fix handling of overflowing 32-bit counters. Thanks to
|
|
|
Tomasz Pala for the patch.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Portability build-fixes. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for
|
|
|
the patch.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Fix a possible race condition: If the network plugin
|
|
|
is initialized and dispatches a value before the rrdtool plugin is
|
|
|
initialized, the daemon may crash.
|
|
|
* memory plugin: Fix a potential problem under Solaris.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-22, Version 4.5.3
|
|
|
* build system: The check for libupsclient even when `pkg-config' is
|
|
|
not available.
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix error handling in the global cache.
|
|
|
* Collectd::Unixsock: Error handling has been improved.
|
|
|
* ascent plugin: Fix a memory leak. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for his
|
|
|
patch.
|
|
|
* ipmi plugin: Fix an off-by-one error which could cause segmentation
|
|
|
faults. Thanks to Peter Holik for his patch.
|
|
|
* tcpconns plugin: An endianness problem has been fixed in the *BSD
|
|
|
code. Thanks to "thated" for reporting this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-01-02, Version 4.5.2
|
|
|
* build system: Check for `mysql.h' and `mysql/mysql.h', since the
|
|
|
file may be in both locations, especially when the database was
|
|
|
installed in a non-standard path. Thanks to Dusty Doris for
|
|
|
reporting this.
|
|
|
* build system: Handle the _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS defined, needed by
|
|
|
Solaris, in the configure script automatically.
|
|
|
* build system, tcpconns plugin: Check for `kvm_nlist' and
|
|
|
`kvm_openfiles' before enabling the plugin: Solaris provides a KVM
|
|
|
library with similar functions to the BSD variant, but doesn't
|
|
|
provide these necessary functions.
|
|
|
* collectd.conf(5): Various fixes and clarifications.
|
|
|
* collectd: Remove a GNUism (unnamed unions), thus improving
|
|
|
portability.
|
|
|
* collectd, apcups plugin: Include "collectd.h" before <stdlib.h>.
|
|
|
This solves portability problems, especially for Solaris.
|
|
|
* dns plugin: Fix a portability problem with NetBSD.
|
|
|
* filecount plugin: Fix an off-by-one error. This error may cause a
|
|
|
segmentation fault.
|
|
|
* network plugin: Fix the handling of `type' in the network protocol.
|
|
|
Due to a programming mistake, only 4 or 8 bytes would be copied to a
|
|
|
much larger buffer. This caused the `type' to be transferred much
|
|
|
more often than necessary. In some cases, e. g. the `cpu' and
|
|
|
`cpufreq' plugins being used at the same time, data may be corrupted
|
|
|
in those files. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for debugging and reporting
|
|
|
this issue.
|
|
|
* processes plugin: Fix a possible segmentation fault when specifying
|
|
|
invalid configuration options.
|
|
|
* unixsock plugin: Make sure the initialization function is run only
|
|
|
once. This resolves a file descriptor leak under systems which run
|
|
|
the initialization more than once, such as Solaris.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-10-16, Version 4.5.1
|
|
|
* build system: Change `--enable-<plugin>' to abort with an error if
|
|
|
dependencies are not met. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for the patch.
|
|
|
Also, the poisoning of various string functions has been restricted
|
|
|
to debug builds.
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix a memory leak in the global value cache. With every
|
|
|
*missing* value a couple of bytes would be leaked. Another memory
|
|
|
leak in the configuration handling code has been fixed. Thanks to
|
|
|
Niraj Tolia for reporting these issues.
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix an off-by-one error in the ignorelist functionality.
|
|
|
When using regular expressions, the last character would be missing,
|
|
|
possibly matching differently from what one would expect.
|
|
|
* collectdmon: Don't block SIGCHLD. This fixes a potential portability
|
|
|
problem.
|
|
|
* collectd-nagios: Fix handling of the `-d' option. Thanks to Fabian
|
|
|
Linzberger for reporting the bug.
|
|
|
* iptables plugin: Fix an off-by-one error. If a string was just one
|
|
|
character too long, it was truncated instead of reporting an error.
|
|
|
* network plugin: Fix a memory leak in the configuration handling
|
|
|
code. Thanks to Niraj Tolia for reporting this issue.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Log an error message if bootstrapping `Collectd' fails.
|
|
|
* postgresql plugin: Don't reopen connection during reinitialization.
|
|
|
This fixes a bug under Solaris and potentially other platforms.
|
|
|
Missing calls to `PQclear' have been added, too. This fixes memory
|
|
|
leaks. Thanks to ``Admin'' for reporting these bugs.
|
|
|
* snmp plugin: Don't expect null-terminated strings from the Net-SNMP
|
|
|
library.
|
|
|
* tail plugin: Call `clearerr(3)' after reading an EOF. This fixes
|
|
|
problems with some `libc's. Thanks to Matthias Lay for reporting the
|
|
|
bug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-09-04, Version 4.5.0
|
|
|
* collectd: Added the ability to flush certain identifiers.
|
|
|
* collectd: The concept of `notification meta data' has been
|
|
|
introduced.
|
|
|
* filecount plugin: The new filecount plugin counts the number of
|
|
|
files in a directory and its subdirectories.
|
|
|
* ipmi plugin: Sensor names have been changed to ensure unique names.
|
|
|
Notifications upon added and removed sensors can now be generated.
|
|
|
* notify_desktop plugin: This new plugin sends notifications to the
|
|
|
X desktop using the structure defined in the `Desktop Notification
|
|
|
Specification'.
|
|
|
* notify_email plugin: This new plugin sends out notifications via
|
|
|
email, using the `esmtp' library.
|
|
|
* onewire plugin: The new experimental(!) onewire plugin reads values,
|
|
|
such as temperatures, from sensors connected to the computer via the
|
|
|
onewire bus.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Improved synchronized access to internal data structures
|
|
|
and fixed a possible dead-lock.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Added the ability to flush certain identifiers and marked
|
|
|
plugin_flush_all() and plugin_flush_one() as deprecated in favor of
|
|
|
plugin_flush().
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Added the ability to configure Perl plugins.
|
|
|
* postgresql plugin: The new postgresql plugin collects statistics
|
|
|
about or from a PostgreSQL database.
|
|
|
* processes plugin: The `ProcessMatch' option has been added.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Implement throttling of the `update queue' to lessen
|
|
|
IO load.
|
|
|
* tcpconns plugin: This plugin has been ported to OpenBSD.
|
|
|
* thermal plugin: The new thermal plugin collects system temperatures
|
|
|
using Linux ACPI thermal zone data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-01-02, Version 4.4.5
|
|
|
* build system: Check for `mysql.h' and `mysql/mysql.h', since the
|
|
|
file may be in both locations, especially when the database was
|
|
|
installed in a non-standard path. Thanks to Dusty Doris for
|
|
|
reporting this.
|
|
|
* build system: Handle the _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS defined, needed by
|
|
|
Solaris, in the configure script automatically.
|
|
|
* collectd.conf(5): Various fixes and clarifications.
|
|
|
* apcups plugin: Include "collectd.h" before <stdlib.h>. This solves
|
|
|
portability problems, especially for Solaris.
|
|
|
* dns plugin: Fix a portability problem with NetBSD.
|
|
|
* network plugin: Fix the handling of `type' in the network protocol.
|
|
|
Due to a programming mistake, only 4 or 8 bytes would be copied to a
|
|
|
much larger buffer. This caused the `type' to be transferred much
|
|
|
more often than necessary. In some cases, e. g. the `cpu' and
|
|
|
`cpufreq' plugins being used at the same time, data may be corrupted
|
|
|
in those files. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for debugging and reporting
|
|
|
this issue.
|
|
|
* unixsock plugin: Make sure the initialization function is run only
|
|
|
once. This resolves a file descriptor leak under systems which run
|
|
|
the initialization more than once, such as Solaris.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-10-16, Version 4.4.4
|
|
|
* build system: Change `--enable-<plugin>' to abort with an error if
|
|
|
dependencies are not met. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for the patch.
|
|
|
Also, the poisoning of various string functions has been restricted
|
|
|
to debug builds.
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix a memory leak in the global value cache. With every
|
|
|
*missing* value a couple of bytes would be leaked. Another memory
|
|
|
leak in the configuration handling code has been fixed. Thanks to
|
|
|
Niraj Tolia for reporting these issues.
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix an off-by-one error in the ignorelist functionality.
|
|
|
When using regular expressions, the last character would be missing,
|
|
|
possibly matching differently from what one would expect.
|
|
|
* collectdmon: Don't block SIGCHLD. This fixes a potential portability
|
|
|
problem.
|
|
|
* collectd-nagios: Fix handling of the `-d' option. Thanks to Fabian
|
|
|
Linzberger for reporting the bug.
|
|
|
* network plugin: Fix a memory leak in the configuration handling
|
|
|
code. Thanks to Niraj Tolia for reporting this issue.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Log an error message if bootstrapping `Collectd' fails.
|
|
|
* tail plugin: Call `clearerr(3)' after reading an EOF. This fixes
|
|
|
problems with some `libc's. Thanks to Matthias Lay for reporting the
|
|
|
bug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-09-01, Version 4.4.3
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix a memory leak in the threshold checking code.
|
|
|
* memcached plugin: Fix a too short timeout and a related file
|
|
|
descriptor leak.
|
|
|
* memory plugin: A typo in the libstatgrab code has been fixed.
|
|
|
* snmp plugin: Fix a possible memory leak.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-07-15, Version 4.4.2
|
|
|
* build system: Use pkg-config to detect the upsclient library.
|
|
|
* collectd: Try even harder to determine the endianess of the
|
|
|
architecture collectd is being built on.
|
|
|
* disk plugin: Fix for Linux 2.4: A wrong field was used as the name
|
|
|
of disks.
|
|
|
* dns plugin: Fix compilation errors with BIND versions 19991001
|
|
|
through 19991005.
|
|
|
* network plugin: Bugfix in the init routine: The init function
|
|
|
cleared a buffer regardless of its contents. This could lead to lost
|
|
|
values under Solaris.
|
|
|
* nginx plugin: Remove usage of the thread-unsafe `strtok' function.
|
|
|
* vserver plugin: Remove usage of the thread-unsafe `readdir'
|
|
|
function.
|
|
|
* wireless plugin: Work around incorrect noise and power values
|
|
|
returned by some broken drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-06-03, Version 4.4.1
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix the `DataSource' option within `Type' blocks. Thanks
|
|
|
to kyrone for reporting this.
|
|
|
* collectd: Fixed min/max output in notifications generated by
|
|
|
threshold checking.
|
|
|
* collectd-nagios: Fix the protocol used to communicate with the
|
|
|
daemon.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Fail noisily, but don't shutdown the daemon, if
|
|
|
initialization has errors. An issue with Perl 5.10 has been fixed.
|
|
|
* teamspeak2 plugin: Fixed an out of bound array access. Thanks to
|
|
|
René Rebe and Siegmund Gorr for reporting this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-06, Version 4.4.0
|
|
|
* collectd: Internal code cleanups.
|
|
|
* collectd: Added support for a `Flush' command in the unixsock and
|
|
|
exec plugins. This command can be used to force a plugin (or all) to
|
|
|
flush its values to disk.
|
|
|
* collectd: Thresholds can now be configured to apply to one data
|
|
|
source only, making it possible to configure different thresholds
|
|
|
for each data source.
|
|
|
* apache, nginx plugins: Added the possibility to disable host and/or
|
|
|
peer verification.
|
|
|
* ascent plugin: The new ascent plugin reads and parses the statistics
|
|
|
page of an Ascent server.
|
|
|
* cpu plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added.
|
|
|

|
|
|
specific disks has been added.
|
|
|
* disk plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added.
|
|
|
* ipmi plugin: The new ipmi plugin uses the OpenIPMI library to read
|
|
|
sensor values via IPMI, the intelligent platform management
|
|
|
interface.
|
|
|
* iptables plugin: The iptc library that is used by the iptables
|
|
|
plugin has been added to the distribution, because it is not
|
|
|
provided by all distributions and removed from at least one.
|
|
|
* powerdns plugin: The new powerdns plugin reads statistics from an
|
|
|
authoritative or a recursing PowerDNS name server.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: The size of the files generated with the default
|
|
|
configuration has been decreased.
|
|
|
* tail plugin: The new tail plugin can be used to gather statistics by
|
|
|
continuously reading from log files.
|
|
|
* teamspeak2 plugin: The new teamspeak2 plugin connects to a
|
|
|
TeamSpeak2 server and collects statistics about the number of users
|
|
|
and number of channels.
|
|
|
* users plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added.
|
|
|
* vmem plugin: The new vmem plugin collects very detailed statistics
|
|

about the virtual memory subsystem of Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-08-30, Version 4.3.4
|
|
|
* Build system: Improved detection of and linking with the statgrab
|
|
|
library.

|
|
|
again has been applied.
|
|
|
* memcached plugin: Fix a too short timeout and a related file
|
|
|
descriptor leak.
|
|
|
* memory plugin: A typo in the libstatgrab code has been fixed.
|
|
|
* network plugin: A fix in the initialization function solves problems
|
|
|
under Solaris.
|
|
|
* nginx plugin: A thread-unsafe function has been replaced.
|
|
|
* vserver plugin: A thread-unsafe function has been replaced.
|
|
|
* wireless plugin: A work-around for broken wireless drivers has been
|
|
|
added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-04-22, Version 4.3.3
|
|
|
* build system: Improved detection of several libraries, especially if
|
|
|
they are in non-standard paths.
|
|
|
* build system: Portability fixes: Automatically define "_REENTRANT"
|
|
|
if the libc expects it.
|
|
|
* collectd: Error and warning messages have been improved.
|
|
|
* collectd: Check for the BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN defines before
|
|
|
using them.
|
|
|
* apache plugin: Allocate new memory when reading a webpage instead of
|
|
|
using a buffer of static size.
|
|
|
* exec plugin: Close (almost) all filedescriptors before exec(2)ing
|
|
|
the program.
|
|
|
* hddtemp plugin: Error and warning messages have been improved.
|
|
|
* sensors plugin: Fix sensor collection for some chip types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-03-29, Version 4.3.2
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix configuration of the `FailureMax', `WarningMax', and
|
|
|
`Persist' threshold options.
|
|
|
* collectd: Fix handling of missing values in the global value cache.
|
|
|
* collectd: Improved error messages when parsing the configuration.
|
|
|
* sensors plugin: Fix temperature collection with libsensors4.
|
|
|
* unixsock plugin: Fix mixed input and output operation on streams.
|
|
|
* wireless plugin: Fix reading noise value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-03-05, Version 4.3.1
|
|
|
* exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs.
|
|
|
* network plugin:
|
|
|
+ Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid
|
|
|
alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc.
|
|
|
+ Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure
|
|
|
cross-platform compatibility.
|
|
|
* ping plugin: Correct the handling of the `TTL' setting.
|
|
|
* swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
|
|
|
* tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-02-18, Version 4.3.0
|
|
|
* collectd: Notifications have been added to the daemon. Notifications
|
|
|
are status messages that may be associated with a data instance.
|
|
|
* collectd: Threshold checking has been added to the daemon. This
|
|
|
means that you can configure threshold values for each data
|
|
|
instance. If this threshold is exceeded a notification will be
|
|
|
created.
|
|
|
* collectd: The new `FQDNLookup' option tells the daemon to use the
|
|
|
full qualified domain name as the hostname, not just the host part
|
|
|
es returned by `gethostname(2)'.
|
|
|
* collectd: Support for more than one `TypesDB' file has been added.
|
|
|
This is useful when one such file is included in a package but one
|
|
|
wants to add custom type definitions.
|
|
|
* collectd: The `Include' config option has been expanded to handle
|
|
|
entire directories and shell wildcards.
|
|
|
* collectdmon: The new `collectdmon' binary detects when collectd
|
|
|
terminates and automatically restarts it again.
|
|
|
* csv plugin: The CSV plugin is now able to store counter values as a
|
|
|
rate, using the `StoreRates' configuration option.
|
|
|
* exec plugin: Handling of notifications has been added and the
|
|
|
ability to pass arguments to the executed programs has been added.
|
|
|
* hddtemp plugin: The new `TranslateDevicename' option lets you
|
|
|
disable the translation from device names to major-minor-numbers.
|
|
|
* logfile plugin: Handling of notifications has been added.
|
|
|
* ntpd plugin: The new `ReverseLookups' can be used to disable reverse
|
|
|
domain name lookups in this plugin.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Many internal changes added support for handling multiple
|
|
|
threads making the plugin reasonably usable inside collectd. The API has
|
|
|
been extended to support notifications and export global variables to
|
|
|
Perl plugins; callbacks now have to be identified by name rather than a
|
|
|
pointer to a subroutine. The plugin is no longer experimental.
|
|
|
* uuid plugin: The new UUID plugin sets the hostname to an unique
|
|
|
identifier for this host. This is meant for setups where each client
|
|
|
may migrate to another physical host, possibly going through one or
|
|
|
more name changes in the process. Thanks to Richard Jones from
|
|
|
Red Hat's Emerging Technology group for this plugin.
|
|
|
* libvirt: The new libvirt plugin uses the `libvirt' library to query
|
|
|
CPU, disk and network statistics about guest systems on the same
|
|
|
physical server. Thanks to Richard Jones from Red Hat's Emerging
|
|
|
Technology group for this plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-04-22, Version 4.2.7
|
|
|
* build system: Improved detection of several libraries, especially if

|
|
|
if the libc expects it.
|
|
|
* collectd: Error and warning messages have been improved.
|
|
|
* collectd: Check for the BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN defines before

|
|
|
* apache plugin: Improved initialization and error messages.
|
|
|
* exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs.
|
|
|
* network plugin:
|
|
|
+ Create separate threads for reading from the socket and parsing
|
|
|
and dispatching incoming packets. Versions prior to this may have
|
|
|
problems in high-load situations, where the socket receive buffers
|
|
|
overflows, resulting in gaps in the data.
|
|
|
+ Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid
|
|
|
alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc.
|
|
|
+ Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure
|
|
|
cross-platform compatibility.
|
|
|
* ping plugin: Correct the handling of the `TTL' setting.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Ensure correct handling of the `RRATimespan' option.
|
|
|
* swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-01-21, Version 4.2.4
|
|
|
* unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set
|
|
|
the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage. Thanks to
|
|
|
Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
|
|
|
* collectd: The documentation has been improved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-12-28, Version 4.2.3
|
|
|
* sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
|
|
|
of the libsensors library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-12-15, Version 4.2.2
|
|
|
* nginx plugin: Incorrect comparison of strings lead to a segfault
|
|
|
when using the plugin. Thanks to Saulius Grigaliunas for fixing
|
|
|
this.
|
|
|
* logfile plugin: The config option `Timestamp' was handled
|
|
|
incorrectly and basically always active. Thanks to Luke Heberling
|
|
|
for fixing this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-11-08, Version 4.2.1
|
|
|
* tcpconns plugin: Don't complain about a missing file if IPv6 is not
|
|
|
enabled on the host.
|
|
|
* snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-10-27, Version 4.2.0
|
|
|
* collectd: The new config option `Include' lets you include other
|
|
|
configfiles and thus split up your config into smaller parts. This
|
|
|
may be especially interesting for the snmp plugin to keep the data
|
|
|
definitions separate from the host definitions.
|
|
|
* ipvs plugin: The new `ipvs' plugin collects IPVS connection statistics
|
|
|
(number of connections, octets and packets for each service and
|
|
|
destination). Thanks to Sebastian Harl for this plugin.
|
|
|
* memcached plugin: The new `memcached' plugin connects to a memcached
|
|
|
daemon process and collects statistics of this distributed caching
|
|
|
system. Thanks to Antony Dovgal for contributing this plugin.
|
|
|
* nginx plugin: The new `nginx' plugin reads the status page of an
|
|
|
nginx daemon and saves the handled connections and requests.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Many changes, including the added `EnableDebugger'
|
|
|
config option which lets you debug your Perl plugins more easily.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to
|
|
|
be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
|
|
|
* snmp plugin: Added the options `Scale' and `Shift' to Data-blocks to
|
|
|
correct the values returned by SNMP-agents. If a <data> block is
|
|
|
defined as `table' the instance is now optional. The sequence number
|
|
|
is used as the type-instance in this case. The new `InstancePrefix'
|
|
|
option allows to add arbitrary prefixes to the type-instance.
|
|
|
* tcpconns plugin: The new `tcpconns' plugin collects the number of
|
|
|
certain TCP connections and what state they're in. This can be used
|
|
|
to see how many connections your FTP server has to handle or how
|
|
|
many outgoing connections your mailserver has open.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-01-11, Version 4.1.6
|
|
|
* unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set

Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
|
|
|
* collectd: The documentation has been improved.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
* sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
|
|
|
of the libsensors library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-11-08, Version 4.1.4
|
|
|

|
|
|
it's in a non-standard location.
|
|
|
* Build system: A bug when parsing the argument for
|
|
|
`--with-libnetsnmp' has been fixed.
|
|
|
* collectd: Implement `strerror_r' if the libc doesn't provide it.

|
|
|
data types.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to
|
|
|
be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-28, Version 4.1.2
|
|
|
* apcups plugin: Fix reporting of the `load percent' data.
|
|
|
* wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
|
|
|
noise quality as percentage.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: Fix a possible buffer overflow in get_module_name().
|
|
|
* build system: Further improve the detection of libraries.
|
|
|
* netlink plugin: Build issues under some older versions of the Linux
|
|
|
includes (i. e. Debian Sarge) have been fixed.
|
|
|
* snmp plugin: Fix a potential segfault when a host times out. Add
|
|
|
support for the `timeticks' type.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|

|
|
|
with the broken GNU version of `strerror_r'.
|
|
|
* collectd: Write an error message to STDERR when loading of a plugin
|
|
|
fails.
|
|
|
* apcups plugin: Fix the `types' used to submit the values: They still
|
|
|
has an `apcups_' prefix which doesn't work anymore.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Create new RRD-files with the `begin' time set to
|
|
|
whatever the client thinks is `now'..
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-01, Version 4.1.0
|
|
|
* Build system: The build system has been changed to automatically
|
|
|
disable all plugins, which are missing dependencies. The dependency
|
|
|
checking has been removed from the plugins themselves to remove
|
|
|
redundancy.
|
|
|
* Flexible interval: The interval of collected data is now sent along
|
|
|
with the data itself over the network, so that the interval-settings
|
|
|
of server and clients no longer needs to match.
|
|
|
* netlink plugin: The new `netlink' plugin connects to the Linux
|
|
|
kernel using a netlink socket and uses it to query information about
|
|
|
interfaces, qdiscs and classes.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: The cache is now dumped to disk in an extra thread
|
|
|
to not block data collection.
|
|
|
* snmp plugin: The new `snmp' plugin can read values from SNMP enabled
|
|
|
network devices, such as switches, routers, thermometers, rack
|
|
|
monitoring servers, etc. The collectd-snmp(5) manpage documents this
|
|
|
plugin.
|
|
|
* unixsock plugin: Added the `LISTVAL' command.
|
|
|
* xmms plugin: The new `xmms' plugin graphs the bitrate and frequency
|
|
|
of music played with xmms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-28, Version 4.0.9
|
|
|
* apcups plugin: Fix reporting of the `load percent' data.
|
|
|
* wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
|
|
|
noise quality as percentage.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-12, Version 4.0.8
|
|
|
* collectd: The `sstrerror' function was improved to work correctly
|
|
|
with the broken GNU version of `strerror_r'.
|
|
|
* collectd: Write an error message to STDERR when loading of a plugin
|
|
|
fails.
|
|
|
* apcups plugin: Fix the `types' used to submit the values: They still
|
|
|
has an `apcups_' prefix which doesn't work anymore.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: Create new RRD-files with the `begin' time set to
|
|
|
whatever the client thinks is `now'..
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-08-26, Version 4.0.7
|
|
|
* documentation: Some typos have been fixed and some information has
|
|
|
been improved.
|
|
|
* build system: Many fixes for detecting libraries in unusual places,
|
|
|
such as on RedHat systems. The affected libraries are `libcurl',
|
|
|
`libmysql', and `libupsclient'.
|
|
|
* network plugin: Allow the `Port' option to be specified as a number
|
|
|
(i. e. without quotes).
|
|
|
* nut plugin: A fix allows linking the nut plugin against
|
|
|
libupsclient, version >= 2.2.0.
|
|
|
* processes plugin: Fix a potential segmentation fault.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-07-30, Version 4.0.6
|
|
|
* sensors plugin: Fix the ignorelist functionality: Only the `type
|
|
|
instance' was used to match against the list, but the documentation
|
|
|
told otherwise. This release fixes the code, so it complies with the
|
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
* syslog plugin: Call `openlog' right when the plugin is loaded, so
|
|
|
configuration messages will end up in the logging facility.
|
|
|
* conrtib/fedora: The contributed specfile for Fedora has been
|
|
|
updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-07-05, Version 4.0.5
|
|
|
* Portability: More fixes for OpenBSD have been included.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-06-24, Version 4.0.4
|
|
|
* cpu plugin: Fixed the Solaris code.
|
|
|
* dns plugin: Fixed a build issue for OpenBSD.
|
|
|
* interface plugin: Fixed the Solaris code.
|
|
|
* load plugin: Fixed the alternative `/proc' Linux code.
|
|
|
* memory plugin: Fixed the Solaris code.
|
|
|
* oconfig: Don't require `-lfl' anymore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-06-19, Version 4.0.3
|
|
|
* cpu plugin: Fix the Darwin / Mac OS X code.
|
|
|
* ping plugin: Use the return value of `getpid', not its address.
|
|
|
* csv, rrdtool plugin: Fixed a bug that prevented an buffer to be
|
|
|
initialized correctly.
|
|
|
* configure: Added `--with-nan-emulation' to aid cross compilation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-06-12, Version 4.0.2
|
|
|
* hddtemp and ntpd plugin: Corrected the parsing of port numbers when
|
|
|
they're given in numerically form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-06-07, Version 4.0.1
|
|
|
* iptables plugin: A bug in the configuration routine has been fixed.
|
|
|
Setting a comment in the configfile will no longer cause a
|
|
|
segmentation fault.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-06-03, Version 4.0.0
|
|
|
* collectd: The plugin-infrastructure has been changed to allow for
|
|
|
more types of plugins, namely `write' and `log' plugins.
|
|
|
* collectd: The read-function has been changed to read many plugins in
|
|
|
parallel, using threads. Thus, plugins generally need to use
|
|
|
thread-safe functions from now on.
|
|
|
* collectd: The '-t' command line options allows to perform syntax tests
|
|
|
of the configuration file and exit immediately.
|
|
|
* csv plugin: The new `csv' plugin handles output to `comma separated
|
|
|
values'-files.
|
|
|
* rrdtool plugin: The new `rrdtool' plugin handles output to
|
|
|
RRD-files. Data can be cached to combine multiple updates into one
|
|
|
write to increase IO-performance.
|
|
|
* network plugin: The new `network' plugin handles IO via the network.
|
|
|
It implements a different, much more extensible protocol which can
|
|
|
combine many values in one packet, decreasing the number of UDP-
|
|
|
packets being sent. It can read from and send to the network and
|
|
|
with the appropriate configuration even forward packets to other
|
|
|
networks.
|
|
|
* unixsock plugin: The new `unixsock' plugin provides an interface to
|
|
|
communicate with the daemon while it is running. Right now the
|
|
|
commands `GETVAL' and `PUTVAL' are implemented, but more are to
|
|
|
come.
|
|
|
* perl plugin: The new `perl' plugin allows you to write extensions
|
|
|
for collectd in the scripting-language Perl.
|
|
|
* logfile plugin: The new `logfile' plugin writes logmessages to files
|
|
|
or STDOUT or STDERR.
|
|
|
* syslog plugin: The new `syslog' plugin sends logmessages to the
|
|
|
system's syslog daemon.
|
|
|
* entropy plugin: The new `entropy' plugin collects the amount of
|
|
|
entropy currently being available to the system.
|
|
|
* exec plugin: The new `exec' plugin forks child processes and reads
|
|
|
back values provided by the forked processes.
|
|
|
* iptables plugin: The new `iptables' plugin reads counters from
|
|
|
iptables rules. Thanks to Sjoerd van der Berg for contributing this
|
|
|
plugin.
|
|
|
* irq plugin: The new `irq' plugin collects the IRQ-counters. Thanks
|
|
|
to Peter Holik for contributing this plugin.
|
|
|
* nut plugin: The new `nut' plugin connects the upsd of the `network
|
|
|
ups tools' and reads information about the connected UPS.
|
|
|
* apache plugin: Support for lighttpd's `BusyServers' (aka.
|
|
|
connections) field was added by Florent Monbillard.
|
|
|
* collectd-nagios: The new `collectd-nagios' binary queries values
|
|
|
from collectd, parses them and exits according to Nagios-standards.
|
|
|
* manpages: The manpages have been improved a lot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-09-28, Version 3.11.7
|
|
|
* wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
|
|
|
noise quality as percentage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-08-31, Version 3.11.6
|
|
|
* processes plugin: Fix a potential segmentation fault.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-05-29, Version 3.11.5
|
|
|
* configure: Added `AC_SYS_LARGEFILE' for LFS.
|
|
|
* ntpd plugin: Fix a potential buffer overflow.
|
|
|
* processes plugin: Fix a bug when run under Linux 2.4. All processes
|
|
|
were accounted as `zombies'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-04-10, Version 3.11.4
|
|
|
* dns plugin: Change the order of includes to make the plugin compile
|
|
|
under FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-03-30, Version 3.11.3
|
|
|
* configure: Have the configure-script define `HAVE_LIBKSTAT' instead
|
|
|
of the unused `COLLECT_KSTAT'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-02-11, Version 3.11.2
|
|
|
* plugin: Catch NULL-pointer and try to fix them. Otherwise the
|
|
|
NULL-pointer may have been passed to `printf' which causes a
|
|
|
segfault with some libcs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-02-10, Version 3.11.1
|
|
|
* df plugin: Some wrong defines have been fixed so the plugin works
|
|
|
under Solaris again.
|
|
|
* dns plugin: The usage of a struct has been fixed to work with
|
|
|
non-GNU libcs.
|
|
|
* processes plugin: Some missing defines have been added so the plugin
|
|
|
compiles cleanly under FreeBSD and presumably other UNIXes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-12-22, Version 3.11.0
|
|
|
* collectd: The new command line option `-P' makes it easier for
|
|
|
distributors to change the location of PID-files.
|
|
|
* collectd: The daemon shuts down faster now which makes it easier to
|
|
|
write init.d-scripts for it.
|
|
|
* apache plugin: Increase the buffersize to 16k, because the 4k buffer
|
|
|
caused problems every now and then.
|
|
|
* df plugin: New config options allow to ignore certain mountpoints,
|
|
|
filesystem types or devices.
|
|
|
* dns plugin: The new dns plugin uses `libpcap' to capture DNS traffic
|
|
|
and interprets it. It collects traffic as well as qtype, opcode and
|
|
|
rcode counts.
|
|
|
* email plugin: Sebastian Harl has contributed this plugin which
|
|
|
counts received mails in categories (e. g. ham, spam, virus), spam
|
|
|
score (as given by SpamAssassin) and check types.
|
|
|
* mbmon plugin: Flavio Stanchina has contributed this plugin which
|
|
|
uses `mbmon' to gather information from sensors on the motherboard.
|
|
|
* processes plugin: Collect detailed statistics for configured
|
|
|
processes, that's process and thread count, CPU usage, resident
|
|
|
segment size and pagefaults.
|
|
|
* multimeter plugin: Peter Holik contributed a new plugin which
|
|
|
queries multimeters.
|
|
|
* sensors plugin: Lubos Stanek has put much effort into improving this
|
|
|
plugin, including `extended naming', collection of voltage values
|
|
|
and the possibility to ignore certain values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-12-21, Version 3.10.4
|
|
|
* Max Kellermann has identified a bug in the server routine: When
|
|
|
opening a socket fails the daemon will (re)try opening the socket in
|
|
|
an endless loop, ultimately leading to a `EMFILE' error.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-11-04, Version 3.10.3
|
|
|
* Lubos Stanek has identified a bug in the ntpd-plugin: When the
|
|
|
ntpd's reply was sent in more than one packet, the buffer size was
|
|
|
calculated incorrectly, resulting in the reading of uninitialized or
|
|
|
freed memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-11-01, Version 3.10.2
|
|
|
* The sample config file has been improved.
|
|
|
* Errors in the manpages have been corrected.
|
|
|
* The ping-plugin now adds hosts during initialization, not during
|
|
|
startup. This speeds up startup when no network connectivity is
|
|
|
available. Also, the hosts are being added later when the network is
|
|
|
available.
|
|
|
* Improved BSD-support for the df-plugin.
|
|
|
* Fixed syntax errors in the swap-plugin for Mac OS X.
|
|
|
* Fix a wrong structure being passed to `getnameinfo' in the ntpd-
|
|
|
plugin.
|
|
|
* Don't disable the mysql-plugin if connecting to the database fails
|
|
|
during initialization. Instead, try again in increasing intervals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-07-19, Version 3.10.1
|
|
|
* A bug in the apcups plugin was fixed: Is the plugin is loaded, but
|
|
|
the apcups cannot be reached, unconnected sockets will pile up and
|
|
|
eventually lead to `Too many open files' errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-07-09, Version 3.10.0
|
|
|
* The `disk' plugin has been ported to Darwin.
|
|
|
* The `battery' plugin should work on many Apple computers now.
|
|
|
* The `traffic' plugin can now ignore certain interfaces. Also,
|
|
|
statistics for sent/received packets and errors have been added.
|
|
|
* A plugin to monitor APC UPSes using `apcupsd' has been added. Thanks
|
|
|
to Anthony Gialluca for contributing this plugin and providing me
|
|
|
with a test environment :)
|
|
|
* A plugin for monitoring an NTP instance and the local clock drift
|
|
|
has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-06-25, Version 3.9.4
|
|
|
* The Solaris code in the `swap' plugin has been changed to reflect
|
|
|
the numbers returned by `swap -s'. Thanks to Christophe Kalt for
|
|
|
working this out.
|
|
|
* The debugging system has been fixed to work with the Sun libc.
|
|
|
* When built without librrd the variable `operating_mode' could be
|
|
|
uninitialized. Thanks to David Elliot for reporting the bug.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-06-01, Version 3.9.3
|
|
|
* Fixed the ping-plugin under FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Potentially other
|
|
|
operating systems also profit from the changes, but I wasn't able to
|
|
|
check that.
|
|
|
* Changed the build system to find the netinet-includes under FreeBSD
|
|
|
and therefore successfully build the `liboping' library there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-05-09, Version 3.9.2
|
|
|
* Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
|
|
|
sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
|
|
|
approximately 7.6 days.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-05-09, Version 3.8.5
|
|
|
* Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
|
|
|
sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
|
|
|
approximately 7.6 days.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-04-21, Version 3.9.1
|
|
|
* Build issues with Solaris and possible other architectures have been
|
|
|
resolved.
|
|
|
* Problems when building the `apache'-plugin without `libcurl' have
|
|
|
been resolved.
|
|
|
* A bug in the `ping' plugin has been fixed. Sorry folks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-04-02, Version 3.9.0
|
|
|
* A plugin to monitor the Apache webserver has been added.
|
|
|
<http://httpd.apache.org/>
|
|
|
* A plugin to collect statistics about virtual servers using VServer.
|
|
|
<http://linux-vserver.org/> Thanks to Sebastian Harl for writing
|
|
|
this plugin :)
|
|
|
* A plugin for wireless LAN cards has been added. It monitors signal
|
|
|
strength, link quality and noise ratio..
|
|
|
* A plugin for Apple hardware sensors has been added.
|
|
|
* An option to compile collectd with different `step' and `heartbeat'
|
|
|
settings has been added. The size of RRAs is no longer static but
|
|
|
calculated based on the settings for `step' and `width'.
|
|
|
* The `ping' plugin can now be configured to use a certain TTL.
|
|
|
* A plugin to monitor the hardware sensors of Apple computers has been
|
|
|
added.
|
|
|
* The plugins `cpu', `memory', `processes' and `traffic' have been
|
|
|
ported to Mach/Darwin (Mac OS X).
|
|
|
* The `log mode' has been contributed by Christophe Kalt. It writes
|
|
|
the data into text files rather than RRD files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-04-09, Version 3.8.4
|
|
|
* Applied patch by Vincent Stehlé which improves the disk-name
|
|
|
resolution in the `hddtemp' plugin for Linux systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-04-02, Version 3.8.3
|
|
|
* Applied a patch by James Byers: The MySQL plugin was not working
|
|
|
with MySQL 5.0.2 or later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-03-14, Version 3.8.2
|
|
|
* `utils_mount.c' has been changed to not use the `MNTTAB' defined by
|
|
|
the GNU libc, because it points to `/etc/fstab' rather than
|
|
|
`/etc/mtab'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-03-13, Version 3.8.1
|
|
|
* Fixes for building collectd under FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris.
|
|
|
* Fixes in the debian `postinst' and `init.d' scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-03-09, Version 3.8.0
|
|
|
* The `ping' plugin no longer uses `libping' but a self written
|
|
|
library named `liboping'. With this library it's possible to ping
|
|
|
multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and hostnames - in parallel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-02-18, Version 3.7.2
|
|
|
* A simple bug in the `battery' plugin has been fixed. It should now
|
|
|
work with ACPI based batteries as well. Thanks to Sebastian for
|
|
|
fixing this.
|
|
|
* Fixing a bug that prevented collectd to be built without librrd.
|
|
|
Thanks to Werner Heuser for reporting it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-02-04, Version 3.7.1
|
|
|
* The new network code has been improved to build with older versions
|
|
|
of glibc.
|
|
|
* Fix in `libping' sets the ICMP sequence on outgoing packets. Thanks
|
|
|
to Tommie Gannert for this patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-01-30, Version 3.7.0
|
|
|
* The `battery' plugin has been added. It collects information about
|
|
|
laptop batteries..
|
|
|
* The MySQL plugin has been improved: It now writes two more RRD
|
|
|
files, `mysql_qcache.rrd' and `mysql_threads.rrd'.
|
|
|
* The `cpufreq' plugin now reads another file since the file it did
|
|
|
read so far causes much overhead in the kernel. Also, you need root
|
|
|
to read the old file, but not to read the new one.
|
|
|
* The `hddtemp' plugin can now be configured to connect to another
|
|
|
address and/or port than localhost.
|
|
|
* The `df' plugin now prefers `statvfs' over `statfs'.
|
|
|
* The network code has been rewritten. collectd now supports unicast
|
|
|
and multicast, and IPv4 and IPv6. Also, the TTL of sent packages can
|
|
|
be set in the configfile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-01-24, Version 3.6.2
|
|
|
* Due to a bug in the configfile handling collectd wouldn't start in
|
|
|
client mode. This released fixes this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-01-20, Version 3.6.1
|
|
|
* Due to a bug in `configure.in' all modules and the binary were
|
|
|
linked against `libmysqlclient'. This issue is solved by this
|
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
|
|
|
* A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
|
|
|
plugins.
|
|
|
* A `df' plugin has been added.
|
|
|
* A `mysql' plugin has been added.
|
|
|
* The `ping' plugin doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket error
|
|
|
occurred, but will back of and increase the intervals between tries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-01-21, Version 3.5.2
|
|
|
* Fixed yet another bug in the signal handling.. Stupid typo..
|
|
|
* Improved the ping plugin to not give up on socket errors (backport
|
|
|
from 3.6.0).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
|
|
|
* The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
|
|
|
* SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
|
|
|
* A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
|
|
|
* The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
|
|
|
currently logged in users.
|
|
|
* The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
|
|
|
`libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
|
|
|
* The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
|
|
|
depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
|
|
|
* A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
|
|
|
from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
|
|
|
* The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
|
|
|
without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
|
|
|
with the `-c' argument.
|
|
|
* A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
|
|
|
* The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
|
|
|
(forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
|
|
|
Barcellos for this patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
|
|
|
* New modules have been added:
|
|
|
- `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
|
|
|
- `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
|
|
|
- `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
|
|
|
* The memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
|
|
|
* Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
|
|
|
Vincent)
|
|
|
* If reading from hddtemp fails collectd will increase the time
|
|
|
between polls up to one day.
|
|
|
* The init.d files have been improved.
|
|
|
* Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
|
|
|
* Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
|
|
|
* Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
|
|
|
* The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
|
|
|
multicast) has been added.
|
|
|
* Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
|
|
|
runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
|
|
|
to be linked against an external library.
|
|
|
* A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
|
|
|
behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
|
|
|
* A module for swap statistics has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
|
|
|
* Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
|
|
|
options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
|
|
|
* CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If provided under Linux IRQ and
|
|
|
Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
|
|
|
* Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
|
|
|
* Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
|
|
|
is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
|
|
|
* A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
|
|
|
cleanly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
|
|
|
* Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
|
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
* More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
|
|
|
* Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
|
|
|
* Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
|
|
|
traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
|
|
|
libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
|
|
|
authors.
|
|
|
* Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
|
|
|
aren't necessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.

|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
|
|
|
* Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
|
|
|
collected under Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
|
|
|
* Many fixes in the autoconf-script
|
|
|
* Collection/Museum scripts have been added under contrib/museum
|
|
|
* collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
|
|
|
statistics will not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
|
|
|
* Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
|
|
|
weird strings as disk-names..
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
|
|
|
* A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
|
|
|
about the disks and partitions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
|
|
|
* The meminfo module has been changed to work with more platforms
|
|
|
and/or kernel versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
|
|
|
* The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
|
|
|
forgot to correct when I changed that module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
|
|
|
* Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
|
|
|
* Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
|
|
|
* Collecting CPU statistics now
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
|
|
|
* collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
|
|
|
and the like..
|
|
|
* The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
|
|
|
* Nothing really useful to say ;)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
|
|
|
* The following modules are provided:
|
|
|
* Load average
|
|
|
* Ping time
|
|
|
* Traffic
|
|
|
* Memory info
|
