1 * The `disk' plugin has been ported to Darwin.
2 * The `battery' plugin should work on many Apple computers now.
3 * The `traffic' plugin can now ignore certain interfaces. Also,
4 statistics for sent/received packets and errors have been added.
5 * A plugin to monitor APC UPSes using `apcupsd' has been added. Thanks
6 to Anthony Gialluca for contributing this plugin and providing me
7 with a test environment :)
8 * A plugin for moniroting an NTP instance and the local clock drift
9 has been added.
11 2006-06-18, Version 3.9.4
12 * The Solaris code in the `swap' plugin has been changed to reflect
13 the numbers returned by `swap -s'. Thanks to Christophe Kalt for
14 working this out.
15 * The debugging system has been fixed to work with the Sun libc.
16 * When built without librrd the variable `operating_mode' could be
17 uninitialized. Thanks to David Elliot for reporting the bug.
19 2006-06-01, Version 3.9.3
20 * Fixed the ping-plugin under FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Potentially other
21 operating systems also profit from the changes, but I wasn't able to
22 check that.
23 * Changed the build system to find the netinet-includes under FreeBSD
24 and therefore successfully build the `liboping' library there.
26 2006-05-09, Version 3.9.2
27 * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
28 sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
29 approximately 7.6 days.
31 2006-05-09, Version 3.8.5
32 * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
33 sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
34 approximately 7.6 days.
36 2006-04-21, Version 3.9.1
37 * Build issues with Solaris and possible other architectures have been
38 resolved.
39 * Problems when building the `apache'-plugin without `libcurl' have
40 been resolved.
41 * A bug in the `ping' plugin has been fixed. Sorry folks.
43 2006-04-02, Version 3.9.0
44 * A plugin to monitor the Apache webserver has been added.
45 <http://httpd.apache.org/>
46 * A plugin to collect statistics about virtual servers using VServer.
47 <http://linux-vserver.org/> Thanks to Sebastian Harl for writing
48 this plugin :)
49 * A plugin for wireless LAN cards has been added. It monitors signal
50 strength, link quality and noise ratio..
51 * A plugin for Apple hardware sensors has been added.
52 * An option to compile collectd with different `step' and `hearbeat'
53 settings has been added. The size of RRAs is no longer static but
54 calculated based on the settings for `step' and `width'.
55 * The `ping' plugin can now be configured to use a certain TTL.
56 * A plugin to monitor the hardware sensors of Apple computers has been
57 added.
58 * The plugins `cpu', `memory', `processes' and `traffic' have been
59 ported to Mach/Darwin (Mac OS X).
60 * The `log mode' has been contributed by Christophe Kalt. It writes
61 the data into text files rather than RRD files.
63 2006-04-09, Version 3.8.4
64 * Applied patch by Vincent Stehlé which improves the disk-name
65 resolution in the `hddtemp' plugin for Linux systems.
67 2006-04-02, Version 3.8.3
68 * Applied a patch by James Byers: The MySQL plugin was not working
69 with MySQL 5.0.2 or later.
71 2006-03-14, Version 3.8.2
72 * `utils_mount.c' has been changed to not use the `MNTTAB' defined by
73 the GNU libc, because it points to `/etc/fstab' rather than
74 `/etc/mtab'.
76 2006-03-13, Version 3.8.1
77 * Fixes for building collectd unter FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris.
78 * Fixes in the debian `postinst' and `init.d' scripts.
80 2006-03-09, Version 3.8.0
81 * The `ping' plugin no longer uses `libping' but a self written
82 library named `liboping'. With this library it's possible to ping
83 multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and hostnames - in parallel.
85 2006-02-18, Version 3.7.2
86 * A simple bug in the `battery' plugin has been fixed. It should now
87 work with ACPI based batteries as well. Thankt to Sebastian for
88 fixing this.
89 * Fixing a bug that prevented collectd to be built without librrd.
90 Thanks to Werner Heuser for reporting it.
92 2006-02-04, Version 3.7.1
93 * The new network code has been improved to build with older versions
94 of glibc.
95 * Fix in `libping' sets the ICMP sequence on outgoing packets. Thanks
96 to Tommie Gannert for this patch.
98 2006-01-30, Version 3.7.0
99 * The `battery' plugin has been added. It collects information about
100 laptop batteries..
101 * The MySQL plugin has been improved: It now writes two more RRD
102 files, `mysql_qcache.rrd' and `mysql_threads.rrd'.
103 * The `cpufreq' plugin now reads another file since the file it did
104 read so far causes much overhead in the kernel. Also, you need root
105 to read the old file, but not to read the new one.
106 * The `hddtemp' plugin can now be configured to connect to another
107 address and/or port than localhost.
108 * The `df' plugin now prefers `statvfs' over `statfs'.
109 * The network code has been rewritten. collectd now supports unicast
110 and multicast, and IPv4 and IPv6. Also, the TTL of sent packages can
111 be set in the configfile.
113 2006-01-24, Version 3.6.2
114 * Due to a bug in the configfile handling collectd wouldn't start in
115 client mode. This released fixes this.
117 2006-01-20, Version 3.6.1
118 * Due to a bug in `configure.in' all modules and the binary were
119 linked against `libmysqlclient'. This issue is solved by this
120 release.
122 2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
123 * A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
124 plugins.
125 * A `df' plugin has been added.
126 * A `mysql' plugin has been added.
127 * The `ping' plugin doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket error
128 occured, but will back of and increase the intervals between tries.
130 2006-01-21, Version 3.5.2
131 * Fixed yet another bug in the signal handling.. Stupid typo..
132 * Improved the ping plugin to not give up on socket errors (backport
133 from 3.6.0).
135 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
136 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
137 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
139 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
140 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
141 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
142 currently logged in users.
143 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
144 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
145 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
146 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
148 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
149 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
150 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
151 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
152 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
153 with the `-c' argument.
154 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
155 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
156 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
157 Barcellos for this patch.
159 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
160 * New modules have been added:
161 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
162 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
163 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
164 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
166 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
167 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
168 Vincent)
169 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
170 between polls up to one day.
171 * The init.d files have been improved.
172 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
174 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
175 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
176 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
178 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
179 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
180 multicast) has been added.
181 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
182 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
183 to be linked against an external library.
184 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
185 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
187 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
188 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
190 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
191 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
192 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
193 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
194 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
195 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
196 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
197 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
198 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
199 cleanly.
201 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
202 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
203 disabled.
204 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
206 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
207 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
209 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
210 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
211 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
212 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
213 authors.
214 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
215 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
216 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
218 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
219 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
220 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
221 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
222 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
223 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
224 statistics will not work.
226 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
227 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
228 weird strings as disk-names..
230 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
231 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
232 about the disks and partitions.
234 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
235 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
236 and/or kernel versions.
238 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
239 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
240 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
242 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
243 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
244 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
246 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
247 * Collecting CPU statistics now
249 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
250 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
251 and the like..
252 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
254 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
255 * Nothing really usefull to say ;)
257 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
258 * The following modules are provided:
259 * Load average
260 * Ping time
261 * Traffic
262 * Memory info
