1 2006-06-25, Version 3.9.4
2 * The Solaris code in the `swap' plugin has been changed to reflect
3 the numbers returned by `swap -s'. Thanks to Christophe Kalt for
4 working this out.
5 * The debugging system has been fixed to work with the Sun libc.
6 * When built without librrd the variable `operating_mode' could be
7 uninitialized. Thanks to David Elliot for reporting the bug.
9 2006-06-01, Version 3.9.3
10 * Fixed the ping-plugin under FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Potentially other
11 operating systems also profit from the changes, but I wasn't able to
12 check that.
13 * Changed the build system to find the netinet-includes under FreeBSD
14 and therefore successfully build the `liboping' library there.
16 2006-05-09, Version 3.9.2
17 * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
18 sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
19 approximately 7.6 days.
21 2006-04-21, Version 3.9.1
22 * Build issues with Solaris and possible other architectures have been
23 resolved.
24 * Problems when building the `apache'-plugin without `libcurl' have
25 been resolved.
26 * A bug in the `ping' plugin has been fixed. Sorry folks.
28 2006-04-15, Version 3.9.0
29 * A plugin to monitor the Apache webserver has been added.
30 <http://httpd.apache.org/>
31 * A plugin to collect statistics about virtual servers using VServer.
32 <http://linux-vserver.org/> Thanks to Sebastian Harl for writing
33 this plugin :)
34 * A plugin for wireless LAN cards has been added. It monitors signal
35 strength, link quality and noise ratio..
36 * A plugin for Apple hardware sensors has been added.
37 * An option to compile collectd with different `step' and `hearbeat'
38 settings has been added. The size of RRAs is no longer static but
39 calculated based on the settings for `step' and `width'.
40 * The `ping' plugin can now be configured to use a certain TTL.
41 * A plugin to monitor the hardware sensors of Apple computers has been
42 added.
43 * The plugins `cpu', `memory', `processes' and `traffic' have been
44 ported to Mach/Darwin (Mac OS X).
45 * The `log mode' has been contributed by Christophe Kalt. It writes
46 the data into text files rather than RRD files.
48 2006-04-09, Version 3.8.4
49 * Applied patch by Vincent Stehlé which improves the disk-name
50 resolution in the `hddtemp' plugin for Linux systems.
52 2006-04-02, Version 3.8.3
53 * Applied a patch by James Byers: The MySQL plugin was not working
54 with MySQL 5.0.2 or later.
56 2006-03-14, Version 3.8.2
57 * `utils_mount.c' has been changed to not use the `MNTTAB' defined by
58 the GNU libc, because it points to `/etc/fstab' rather than
59 `/etc/mtab'.
61 2006-03-13, Version 3.8.1
62 * Fixes for building collectd unter FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris.
63 * Fixes in the debian `postinst' and `init.d' scripts.
65 2006-03-09, Version 3.8.0
66 * The `ping' plugin no longer uses `libping' but a self written
67 library named `liboping'. With this library it's possible to ping
68 multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and hostnames - in parallel.
70 2006-02-18, Version 3.7.2
71 * A simple bug in the `battery' plugin has been fixed. It should now
72 work with ACPI based batteries as well. Thankt to Sebastian for
73 fixing this.
74 * Fixing a bug that prevented collectd to be built without librrd.
75 Thanks to Werner Heuser for reporting it.
77 2006-02-04, Version 3.7.1
78 * The new network code has been improved to build with older versions
79 of glibc.
80 * Fix in `libping' sets the ICMP sequence on outgoing packets. Thanks
81 to Tommie Gannert for this patch.
83 2006-01-30, Version 3.7.0
84 * The `battery' plugin has been added. It collects information about
85 laptop batteries..
86 * The MySQL plugin has been improved: It now writes two more RRD
87 files, `mysql_qcache.rrd' and `mysql_threads.rrd'.
88 * The `cpufreq' plugin now reads another file since the file it did
89 read so far causes much overhead in the kernel. Also, you need root
90 to read the old file, but not to read the new one.
91 * The `hddtemp' plugin can now be configured to connect to another
92 address and/or port than localhost.
93 * The `df' plugin now prefers `statvfs' over `statfs'.
94 * The network code has been rewritten. collectd now supports unicast
95 and multicast, and IPv4 and IPv6. Also, the TTL of sent packages can
96 be set in the configfile.
98 2006-01-24, Version 3.6.2
99 * Due to a bug in the configfile handling collectd wouldn't start in
100 client mode. This released fixes this.
102 2006-01-20, Version 3.6.1
103 * Due to a bug in `configure.in' all modules and the binary were
104 linked against `libmysqlclient'. This issue is solved by this
105 release.
107 2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
108 * A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
109 plugins.
110 * A `df' plugin has been added.
111 * A `mysql' plugin has been added.
112 * The `ping' plugin doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket error
113 occured, but will back of and increase the intervals between tries.
115 2006-01-21, Version 3.5.2
116 * Fixed yet another bug in the signal handling.. Stupid typo..
117 * Improved the ping plugin to not give up on socket errors (backport
118 from 3.6.0).
120 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
121 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
122 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
124 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
125 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
126 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
127 currently logged in users.
128 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
129 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
130 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
131 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
133 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
134 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
135 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
136 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
137 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
138 with the `-c' argument.
139 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
140 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
141 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
142 Barcellos for this patch.
144 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
145 * New modules have been added:
146 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
147 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
148 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
149 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
151 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
152 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
153 Vincent)
154 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
155 between polls up to one day.
156 * The init.d files have been improved.
157 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
159 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
160 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
161 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
163 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
164 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
165 multicast) has been added.
166 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
167 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
168 to be linked against an external library.
169 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
170 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
172 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
173 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
175 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
176 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
177 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
178 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
179 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
180 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
181 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
182 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
183 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
184 cleanly.
186 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
187 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
188 disabled.
189 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
191 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
192 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
194 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
195 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
196 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
197 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
198 authors.
199 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
200 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
201 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
203 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
204 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
205 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
206 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
207 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
208 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
209 statistics will not work.
211 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
212 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
213 weird strings as disk-names..
215 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
216 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
217 about the disks and partitions.
219 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
220 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
221 and/or kernel versions.
223 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
224 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
225 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
227 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
228 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
229 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
231 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
232 * Collecting CPU statistics now
234 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
235 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
236 and the like..
237 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
239 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
240 * Nothing really usefull to say ;)
242 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
243 * The following modules are provided:
244 * Load average
245 * Ping time
246 * Traffic
247 * Memory info
