1 2009-06-02, Version 4.6.3
2 * Build system, various plugins: Many build fixes for FreeBSD,
3 OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X. Big thanks to Doug MacEachern
4 for many fixes and providing a build system for many platforms,
5 Ulf Zimmermann for providing a FreeBSD system and Simon Kuhnle for
6 providing an OpenBSD system.
7 * collectd: Two bugs with the threshold checking have been fixed. The
8 first one prevented thresholds to be checked at all, the second one
9 caused wrong behavior with the persistency option. Thanks to Andrés
10 J. Díaz for fixing these problems.
11 * collectd: Handling of the `Include' configuration option has been
12 fixed.
13 * battery plugin: Don't complain about a missing directory every
14 interval.
15 * exec plugin: Allow executed programs to close STDERR. Thanks to
16 Thorsten von Eicken for reporting this problem.
17 * irq plugin: Fix handling of overflowing 32-bit counters. Thanks to
18 Tomasz Pala for the patch.
19 * perl plugin: Portability build-fixes. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for
20 the patch.
21 * memory plugin: Fix a potential problem under Solaris.
22 * swap plugin: A work-around for 32-bit Solaris has been added. Thanks
23 to Doug MacEachern for the patch.
25 2009-03-18, Version 4.6.2
26 * collectd: Some Solaris utility code has been improved.
27 * filter subsystem: Allow `Chains' without default targets.
28 * liboping: A patch to comply with strict aliasing rules has been
29 added.
30 * timediff match: Fix a typo: The match was registered with a wrong
31 name which prevented this match to be used as documented. Thanks to
32 Bruno Prémont for finding this problem.
33 * bind plugin: Fix collection of the cached RR sets. The number of RR
34 sets currently in the cache was collected as a counter value, which
35 is nonsense. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for implementing this.
36 * dns plugin: Don't pass NULL to `pcap_open_live': Some systems,
37 primarily BSDs, don't take it well and crash.
38 * oracle plugin: Portability to 64 bit systems has been improved.
39 * postgresql plugin: The default configuration has been improved.
40 * rrdtool plugin: Fix a possible race condition: If the network plugin
41 is brought and dispatches a value before the rrdtool plugin is
42 initialized, the daemon may crash.
44 2009-02-22, Version 4.6.1
45 * collectd: Many documentation fixes.
46 * Collectd::Unixsock: Error handling has been improved.
47 * regex match: Don't link with the PCRE library.
48 * bind plugin: Various bugs have been fixed. Thanks to Bruno Prémont
49 for finding and fixing most of them.
50 * ipmi plugin: Fix an off-by-one error which could cause segmentation
51 faults. Thanks to Peter Holik for his patch.
53 2009-02-16, Version 4.6.0
54 * collectd: Added the `filter chain' infrastructure, which allows the
55 user to use `matches' and `targets' to control value processing.
56 * collectd: The new `-T' command line argument allows more in-depth
57 testing of a configuration. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for the patch.
58 * collectd-nagios: The Nagios integration command has been updated to
59 use libcollectdclient. The `percentage' aggregation function has
60 been added. Thanks to Fabian Linzberger for the patch.
61 * libcollectdclient: A library which abstracts communication with the
62 unixsock plugin for clients has been added.
63 * regex match: Match values by their identifies using regular
64 expressions.
65 * timediff match: Match for values with an invalid timestamp.
66 * value match: Select values by their data sources' values.
67 * notification target: Create and dispatch a notification.
68 * replace target: Replace parts of an identifier using regular
69 expressions.
70 * set target: Set (overwrite) entire parts of an identifier.
71 * bind plugin: This new plugin uses the new HTTP/XML interface to BIND
72 statistics, allowing very detailed name server statistics. Thanks to
73 Bruno Prémont for this plugin.
74 * cpu plugin: Report `interrupt' separately when using
75 sysctlbyname(3) (used under *BSD). Support for sysctl(3), for
76 example for native OpenBSD support, has been added. Thanks to Simon
77 Kuhnle for the patch.
78 * csv plugin: Make it possible to write values to STDOUT instead of
79 files. This is meant for testing purposes mostly. The output written
80 to STDOUT is compatible with the exec plugin. Thanks to Doug
81 MacEachern for the patch.
82 * curl plugin: This new plugin can be used to read web pages and parse
83 them using the same mechanism that's used in the tail plugin.
84 * dbi plugin: This new plugin allows you to connect to a variety of
85 relational databases and use SQL to gather custom statistics from
86 it. It is similar to the already existing PostgreSQL plugin but uses
87 libdbi to communicate with the database(s).
88 * interface plugin: Use the ignorelist framework when selecting /
89 ignoring interfaces. This allows one to use regular expressions to
90 select interfaces, too.
91 * ipmi plugin: Handle temporary IPMI error conditions more gracefully.
92 Thanks to Bruno Prémont for this patch.
93 * memcached plugin: Add hit-ratio metric. Thanks to Doug MacEachern
94 for the patch.
95 * mysql plugin: Allow connecting to a database via the UNIX domain
96 socket, too. Thanks to Mirko Buffoni for the patch.
97 * network plugin: Further performance improvements for the receive
98 code. This hopefully will help very large setups.
99 * openvpn plugin: This new plugin collects statistics provided by the
100 OpenVPN daemon. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for the patch.
101 * oracle plugin: This new plugin allows you to connect to an Oracle
102 database and use SQL to gather custom statistics from it. It is
103 similar to the already existing PostgreSQL plugin.
104 * perl plugin: Compatibility fixes for broken versions of Perl 5.10
105 have been added.
106 * perl plugin: Export the newly added plugin_write() to Perl plugins.
107 * perl plugin: Added support for `notification meta data'.
108 * perl plugin: Added support for the `filter chain' infrastructure by
109 allowing plugins to register `matches' and `targets'.
110 * postgresql plugin: The preferred configuration syntax has been
111 updated to be in line with the syntax used by the new dbi and oracle
112 plugins. The compatibility code for the old syntax is present.
113 Support for the new `Result' blocks and the interval parameter has
114 been added.
115 * processes plugin: Stacksize and virtual memory usage statistics have
116 been added. Portability fixes.
117 * rrdcached plugin: This new plugin uses the (still in development)
118 RRD accelerator daemon, rrdcached. This daemon works very similar to
119 the original rrdtool plugin of collectd, but adds some more nice
120 features.
121 * swap plugin: Code for OpenBSD (and possibly other *BSDs) has been
122 added.
124 2009-05-09, Version 4.5.4
125 * Build system, various plugins: Many build fixes for FreeBSD,
126 OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X. Big thanks to Doug MacEachern
127 for many fixes and providing a build system for many platforms,
128 Ulf Zimmermann for providing a FreeBSD system and Simon Kuhnle for
129 providing an OpenBSD system.
130 * collectd: Fix a potential race condition when creating directories.
131 * battery plugin: Don't complain about a missing directory every
132 interval.
133 * dns plugin: Slight portability fixes.
134 * exec plugin: Allow executed programs to close STDERR. Thanks to
135 Thorsten von Eicken for reporting this problem.
136 * irq plugin: Fix handling of overflowing 32-bit counters. Thanks to
137 Tomasz Pala for the patch.
138 * perl plugin: Portability build-fixes. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for
139 the patch.
140 * rrdtool plugin: Fix a possible race condition: If the network plugin
141 is initialized and dispatches a value before the rrdtool plugin is
142 initialized, the daemon may crash.
143 * memory plugin: Fix a potential problem under Solaris.
145 2009-02-22, Version 4.5.3
146 * build system: The check for libupsclient even when `pkg-config' is
147 not available.
148 * collectd: Fix error handling in the global cache.
149 * Collectd::Unixsock: Error handling has been improved.
150 * ascent plugin: Fix a memory leak. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for his
151 patch.
152 * ipmi plugin: Fix an off-by-one error which could cause segmentation
153 faults. Thanks to Peter Holik for his patch.
154 * tcpconns plugin: An endianness problem has been fixed in the *BSD
155 code. Thanks to "thated" for reporting this.
157 2009-01-02, Version 4.5.2
158 * build system: Check for `mysql.h' and `mysql/mysql.h', since the
159 file may be in both locations, especially when the database was
160 installed in a non-standard path. Thanks to Dusty Doris for
161 reporting this.
162 * build system: Handle the _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS defined, needed by
163 Solaris, in the configure script automatically.
164 * build system, tcpconns plugin: Check for `kvm_nlist' and
165 `kvm_openfiles' before enabling the plugin: Solaris provides a KVM
166 library with similar functions to the BSD variant, but doesn't
167 provide these necessary functions.
168 * collectd.conf(5): Various fixes and clarifications.
169 * collectd: Remove a GNUism (unnamed unions), thus improving
170 portability.
171 * collectd, apcups plugin: Include "collectd.h" before <stdlib.h>.
172 This solves portability problems, especially for Solaris.
173 * dns plugin: Fix a portability problem with NetBSD.
174 * filecount plugin: Fix an off-by-one error. This error may cause a
175 segmentation fault.
176 * network plugin: Fix the handling of `type' in the network protocol.
177 Due to a programming mistake, only 4 or 8 bytes would be copied to a
178 much larger buffer. This caused the `type' to be transferred much
179 more often than necessary. In some cases, e. g. the `cpu' and
180 `cpufreq' plugins being used at the same time, data may be corrupted
181 in those files. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for debugging and reporting
182 this issue.
183 * processes plugin: Fix a possible segmentation fault when specifying
184 invalid configuration options.
185 * unixsock plugin: Make sure the initialization function is run only
186 once. This resolves a file descriptor leak under systems which run
187 the initialization more than once, such as Solaris.
189 2008-10-16, Version 4.5.1
190 * build system: Change `--enable-<plugin>' to abort with an error if
191 dependencies are not met. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for the patch.
192 Also, the poisoning of various string functions has been restricted
193 to debug builds.
194 * collectd: Fix a memory leak in the global value cache. With every
195 *missing* value a couple of bytes would be leaked. Another memory
196 leak in the configuration handling code has been fixed. Thanks to
197 Niraj Tolia for reporting these issues.
198 * collectd: Fix an off-by-one error in the ignorelist functionality.
199 When using regular expressions, the last character would be missing,
200 possibly matching differently from what one would expect.
201 * collectdmon: Don't block SIGCHLD. This fixes a potential portability
202 problem.
203 * collectd-nagios: Fix handling of the `-d' option. Thanks to Fabian
204 Linzberger for reporting the bug.
205 * iptables plugin: Fix an off-by-one error. If a string was just one
206 character too long, it was truncated instead of reporting an error.
207 * network plugin: Fix a memory leak in the configuration handling
208 code. Thanks to Niraj Tolia for reporting this issue.
209 * perl plugin: Log an error message if bootstrapping `Collectd' fails.
210 * postgresql plugin: Don't reopen connection during reinitialization.
211 This fixes a bug under Solaris and potentially other platforms.
212 Missing calls to `PQclear' have been added, too. This fixes memory
213 leaks. Thanks to ``Admin'' for reporting these bugs.
214 * snmp plugin: Don't expect null-terminated strings from the Net-SNMP
215 library.
216 * tail plugin: Call `clearerr(3)' after reading an EOF. This fixes
217 problems with some `libc's. Thanks to Matthias Lay for reporting the
218 bug.
220 2008-09-04, Version 4.5.0
221 * collectd: Added the ability to flush certain identifiers.
222 * collectd: The concept of `notification meta data' has been
223 introduced.
224 * filecount plugin: The new filecount plugin counts the number of
225 files in a directory and its subdirectories.
226 * ipmi plugin: Sensor names have been changed to ensure unique names.
227 Notifications upon added and removed sensors can now be generated.
228 * notify_desktop plugin: This new plugin sends notifications to the
229 X desktop using the structure defined in the `Desktop Notification
230 Specification'.
231 * notify_email plugin: This new plugin sends out notifications via
232 email, using the `esmtp' library.
233 * onewire plugin: The new experimental(!) onewire plugin reads values,
234 such as temperatures, from sensors connected to the computer via the
235 onewire bus.
236 * perl plugin: Improved synchronized access to internal data structures
237 and fixed a possible dead-lock.
238 * perl plugin: Added the ability to flush certain identifiers and marked
239 plugin_flush_all() and plugin_flush_one() as deprecated in favor of
240 plugin_flush().
241 * perl plugin: Added the ability to configure Perl plugins.
242 * postgresql plugin: The new postgresql plugin collects statistics
243 about or from a PostgreSQL database.
244 * processes plugin: The `ProcessMatch' option has been added.
245 * rrdtool plugin: Implement throttling of the `update queue' to lessen
246 IO load.
247 * tcpconns plugin: This plugin has been ported to OpenBSD.
248 * thermal plugin: The new thermal plugin collects system temperatures
249 using Linux ACPI thermal zone data.
251 2009-01-02, Version 4.4.5
252 * build system: Check for `mysql.h' and `mysql/mysql.h', since the
253 file may be in both locations, especially when the database was
254 installed in a non-standard path. Thanks to Dusty Doris for
255 reporting this.
256 * build system: Handle the _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS defined, needed by
257 Solaris, in the configure script automatically.
258 * collectd.conf(5): Various fixes and clarifications.
259 * apcups plugin: Include "collectd.h" before <stdlib.h>. This solves
260 portability problems, especially for Solaris.
261 * dns plugin: Fix a portability problem with NetBSD.
262 * network plugin: Fix the handling of `type' in the network protocol.
263 Due to a programming mistake, only 4 or 8 bytes would be copied to a
264 much larger buffer. This caused the `type' to be transferred much
265 more often than necessary. In some cases, e. g. the `cpu' and
266 `cpufreq' plugins being used at the same time, data may be corrupted
267 in those files. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for debugging and reporting
268 this issue.
269 * unixsock plugin: Make sure the initialization function is run only
270 once. This resolves a file descriptor leak under systems which run
271 the initialization more than once, such as Solaris.
273 2008-10-16, Version 4.4.4
274 * build system: Change `--enable-<plugin>' to abort with an error if
275 dependencies are not met. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for the patch.
276 Also, the poisoning of various string functions has been restricted
277 to debug builds.
278 * collectd: Fix a memory leak in the global value cache. With every
279 *missing* value a couple of bytes would be leaked. Another memory
280 leak in the configuration handling code has been fixed. Thanks to
281 Niraj Tolia for reporting these issues.
282 * collectd: Fix an off-by-one error in the ignorelist functionality.
283 When using regular expressions, the last character would be missing,
284 possibly matching differently from what one would expect.
285 * collectdmon: Don't block SIGCHLD. This fixes a potential portability
286 problem.
287 * collectd-nagios: Fix handling of the `-d' option. Thanks to Fabian
288 Linzberger for reporting the bug.
289 * network plugin: Fix a memory leak in the configuration handling
290 code. Thanks to Niraj Tolia for reporting this issue.
291 * perl plugin: Log an error message if bootstrapping `Collectd' fails.
292 * tail plugin: Call `clearerr(3)' after reading an EOF. This fixes
293 problems with some `libc's. Thanks to Matthias Lay for reporting the
294 bug.
296 2008-09-01, Version 4.4.3
297 * collectd: Fix a memory leak in the threshold checking code.
298 * memcached plugin: Fix a too short timeout and a related file
299 descriptor leak.
300 * memory plugin: A typo in the libstatgrab code has been fixed.
301 * snmp plugin: Fix a possible memory leak.
303 2008-07-15, Version 4.4.2
304 * build system: Use pkg-config to detect the upsclient library.
305 * collectd: Try even harder to determine the endianess of the
306 architecture collectd is being built on.
307 * disk plugin: Fix for Linux 2.4: A wrong field was used as the name
308 of disks.
309 * dns plugin: Fix compilation errors with BIND versions 19991001
310 through 19991005.
311 * network plugin: Bugfix in the init routine: The init function
312 cleared a buffer regardless of its contents. This could lead to lost
313 values under Solaris.
314 * nginx plugin: Remove usage of the thread-unsafe `strtok' function.
315 * vserver plugin: Remove usage of the thread-unsafe `readdir'
316 function.
317 * wireless plugin: Work around incorrect noise and power values
318 returned by some broken drivers.
320 2008-06-03, Version 4.4.1
321 * collectd: Fix the `DataSource' option within `Type' blocks. Thanks
322 to kyrone for reporting this.
323 * collectd: Fixed min/max output in notifications generated by
324 threshold checking.
325 * collectd-nagios: Fix the protocol used to communicate with the
326 daemon.
327 * perl plugin: Fail noisily, but don't shutdown the daemon, if
328 initialization has errors. An issue with Perl 5.10 has been fixed.
329 * teamspeak2 plugin: Fixed an out of bound array access. Thanks to
330 René Rebe and Siegmund Gorr for reporting this.
332 2008-05-06, Version 4.4.0
333 * collectd: Internal code cleanups.
334 * collectd: Added support for a `Flush' command in the unixsock and
335 exec plugins. This command can be used to force a plugin (or all) to
336 flush its values to disk.
337 * collectd: Thresholds can now be configured to apply to one data
338 source only, making it possible to configure different thresholds
339 for each data source.
340 * apache, nginx plugins: Added the possibility to disable host and/or
341 peer verification.
342 * ascent plugin: The new ascent plugin reads and parses the statistics
343 page of an Ascent server.
344 * cpu plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added.
345 * disk plugin: The possibility to ignore certain disks or collect only
346 specific disks has been added.
347 * disk plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added.
348 * ipmi plugin: The new ipmi plugin uses the OpenIPMI library to read
349 sensor values via IPMI, the intelligent platform management
350 interface.
351 * iptables plugin: The iptc library that is used by the iptables
352 plugin has been added to the distribution, because it is not
353 provided by all distributions and removed from at least one.
354 * powerdns plugin: The new powerdns plugin reads statistics from an
355 authoritative or a recursing PowerDNS name server.
356 * rrdtool plugin: The size of the files generated with the default
357 configuration has been decreased.
358 * tail plugin: The new tail plugin can be used to gather statistics by
359 continuously reading from log files.
360 * teamspeak2 plugin: The new teamspeak2 plugin connects to a
361 TeamSpeak2 server and collects statistics about the number of users
362 and number of channels.
363 * users plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added.
364 * vmem plugin: The new vmem plugin collects very detailed statistics
365 about the virtual memory subsystem of Linux.
367 2008-08-30, Version 4.3.4
368 * Build system: Improved detection of and linking with the statgrab
369 library.
370 * collectd: Portability fixes, especially to determine endianess more
371 reliable.
372 * Various plugins: Fix format strings.
373 * disk plugin: A fix for giving disks under Linux 2.4 the right names
374 again has been applied.

387 they are in non-standard paths.
388 * build system: Portability fixes: Automatically define "_REENTRANT"
389 if the libc expects it.
390 * collectd: Error and warning messages have been improved.
391 * collectd: Check for the BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN defines before
392 using them.
393 * apache plugin: Allocate new memory when reading a webpage instead of
394 using a buffer of static size.
395 * exec plugin: Close (almost) all filedescriptors before exec(2)ing
396 the program.
397 * hddtemp plugin: Error and warning messages have been improved.
398 * sensors plugin: Fix sensor collection for some chip types.
400 2008-03-29, Version 4.3.2
401 * collectd: Fix configuration of the `FailureMax', `WarningMax', and
402 `Persist' threshold options.
403 * collectd: Fix handling of missing values in the global value cache.
404 * collectd: Improved error messages when parsing the configuration.
405 * sensors plugin: Fix temperature collection with libsensors4.
406 * unixsock plugin: Fix mixed input and output operation on streams.
407 * wireless plugin: Fix reading noise value.
409 2008-03-05, Version 4.3.1
410 * exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs.
411 * network plugin:
412 + Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid
413 alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc.
414 + Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure
415 cross-platform compatibility.
416 * ping plugin: Correct the handling of the `TTL' setting.
417 * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
418 * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements.
420 2008-02-18, Version 4.3.0
421 * collectd: Notifications have been added to the daemon. Notifications
422 are status messages that may be associated with a data instance.
423 * collectd: Threshold checking has been added to the daemon. This
424 means that you can configure threshold values for each data
425 instance. If this threshold is exceeded a notification will be
426 created.
427 * collectd: The new `FQDNLookup' option tells the daemon to use the
428 full qualified domain name as the hostname, not just the host part
429 es returned by `gethostname(2)'.
430 * collectd: Support for more than one `TypesDB' file has been added.
431 This is useful when one such file is included in a package but one
432 wants to add custom type definitions.
433 * collectd: The `Include' config option has been expanded to handle
434 entire directories and shell wildcards.
435 * collectdmon: The new `collectdmon' binary detects when collectd
436 terminates and automatically restarts it again.
437 * csv plugin: The CSV plugin is now able to store counter values as a
438 rate, using the `StoreRates' configuration option.
439 * exec plugin: Handling of notifications has been added and the
440 ability to pass arguments to the executed programs has been added.
441 * hddtemp plugin: The new `TranslateDevicename' option lets you
442 disable the translation from device names to major-minor-numbers.
443 * logfile plugin: Handling of notifications has been added.
444 * ntpd plugin: The new `ReverseLookups' can be used to disable reverse
445 domain name lookups in this plugin.
446 * perl plugin: Many internal changes added support for handling multiple
447 threads making the plugin reasonably usable inside collectd. The API has
448 been extended to support notifications and export global variables to
449 Perl plugins; callbacks now have to be identified by name rather than a
450 pointer to a subroutine. The plugin is no longer experimental.
451 * uuid plugin: The new UUID plugin sets the hostname to an unique
452 identifier for this host. This is meant for setups where each client
453 may migrate to another physical host, possibly going through one or
454 more name changes in the process. Thanks to Richard Jones from
455 Red Hat's Emerging Technology group for this plugin.
456 * libvirt: The new libvirt plugin uses the `libvirt' library to query
457 CPU, disk and network statistics about guest systems on the same
458 physical server. Thanks to Richard Jones from Red Hat's Emerging
459 Technology group for this plugin.
461 2008-04-22, Version 4.2.7
462 * build system: Improved detection of several libraries, especially if
463 they are in non-standard paths.
464 * build system: Portability fixes: Automatically define "_REENTRANT"
465 if the libc expects it.
466 * collectd: Error and warning messages have been improved.
467 * collectd: Check for the BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN defines before
468 using them.
469 * apache plugin: Allocate new memory when reading a webpage instead of
470 using a buffer of static size.
471 * exec plugin: Close (almost) all filedescriptors before exec(2)ing
472 the program.
473 * hddtemp plugin: Error and warning messages have been improved.
474 * sensors plugin: Fix sensor collection for some chip types.
476 2008-03-29, Version 4.2.6
477 * collectd: Improved error messages when parsing the configuration.
478 * sensors plugin: Fix temperature collection with libsensors4.
479 * unixsock plugin: Fix mixed input and output operation on streams.
480 * wireless plugin: Fix reading noise value.
482 2008-03-04, Version 4.2.5
483 * apache plugin: Improved initialization and error messages.
484 * exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs.
485 * network plugin:
486 + Create separate threads for reading from the socket and parsing
487 and dispatching incoming packets. Versions prior to this may have
488 problems in high-load situations, where the socket receive buffers
489 overflows, resulting in gaps in the data.
490 + Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid
491 alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc.
492 + Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure
493 cross-platform compatibility.
494 * ping plugin: Correct the handling of the `TTL' setting.
495 * rrdtool plugin: Ensure correct handling of the `RRATimespan' option.
496 * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
497 * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements.
499 2008-01-21, Version 4.2.4
500 * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set
501 the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage. Thanks to
502 Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
503 * collectd: The documentation has been improved.
505 2007-12-28, Version 4.2.3
506 * sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
507 of the libsensors library.
509 2007-12-15, Version 4.2.2
510 * nginx plugin: Incorrect comparison of strings lead to a segfault
511 when using the plugin. Thanks to Saulius Grigaliunas for fixing
512 this.
513 * logfile plugin: The config option `Timestamp' was handled
514 incorrectly and basically always active. Thanks to Luke Heberling
515 for fixing this.
517 2007-11-08, Version 4.2.1
518 * tcpconns plugin: Don't complain about a missing file if IPv6 is not
519 enabled on the host.
520 * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
522 2007-10-27, Version 4.2.0
523 * collectd: The new config option `Include' lets you include other
524 configfiles and thus split up your config into smaller parts. This
525 may be especially interesting for the snmp plugin to keep the data
526 definitions separate from the host definitions.
527 * ipvs plugin: The new `ipvs' plugin collects IPVS connection statistics
528 (number of connections, octets and packets for each service and
529 destination). Thanks to Sebastian Harl for this plugin.
530 * memcached plugin: The new `memcached' plugin connects to a memcached
531 daemon process and collects statistics of this distributed caching
532 system. Thanks to Antony Dovgal for contributing this plugin.
533 * nginx plugin: The new `nginx' plugin reads the status page of an
534 nginx daemon and saves the handled connections and requests.
535 * perl plugin: Many changes, including the added `EnableDebugger'
536 config option which lets you debug your Perl plugins more easily.
537 * rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to
538 be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
539 * snmp plugin: Added the options `Scale' and `Shift' to Data-blocks to
540 correct the values returned by SNMP-agents. If a <data> block is
541 defined as `table' the instance is now optional. The sequence number
542 is used as the type-instance in this case. The new `InstancePrefix'
543 option allows to add arbitrary prefixes to the type-instance.
544 * tcpconns plugin: The new `tcpconns' plugin collects the number of
545 certain TCP connections and what state they're in. This can be used
546 to see how many connections your FTP server has to handle or how
547 many outgoing connections your mailserver has open.
549 2008-01-11, Version 4.1.6
550 * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set
551 the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage. Thanks to
552 Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
553 * collectd: The documentation has been improved.
555 2007-12-27, Version 4.1.5
556 * rrdtool plugin: Fix a memory leak that only occurred in very-low-
557 memory situations.
558 * sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
559 of the libsensors library.
561 2007-11-08, Version 4.1.4
562 * Build system: Improve detection of the rrd library, especially if
563 it's in a non-standard location.
564 * Build system: A bug when parsing the argument for
565 `--with-libnetsnmp' has been fixed.
566 * collectd: Implement `strerror_r' if the libc doesn't provide it.
567 * rrdtool plugin: Fix a bug in the shutdown sequence that might cause
568 a deadlock or delay when shutting down the daemon.
569 * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
571 2007-10-24, Version 4.1.3
572 * collectd: A build issue under Solaris has been resolved by renaming
573 data types.
574 * rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to
575 be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
577 2007-09-28, Version 4.1.2
578 * apcups plugin: Fix reporting of the `load percent' data.
579 * wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
580 noise quality as percentage.
581 * perl plugin: Fix a possible buffer overflow in get_module_name().
582 * build system: Further improve the detection of libraries.
583 * netlink plugin: Build issues under some older versions of the Linux
584 includes (i. e. Debian Sarge) have been fixed.
585 * snmp plugin: Fix a potential segfault when a host times out. Add
586 support for the `timeticks' type.
588 2007-09-12, Version 4.1.1
589 * Build system: The detection of `libnetlink' has been improved.
590 * collectd: The documentation has been fixed in numerous places.
591 * exec plugin: Setting the group under which to run a program has been
592 fixed.
593 * collectd: The `sstrerror' function was improved to work correctly
594 with the broken GNU version of `strerror_r'.
595 * collectd: Write an error message to STDERR when loading of a plugin
596 fails.
597 * apcups plugin: Fix the `types' used to submit the values: They still
598 has an `apcups_' prefix which doesn't work anymore.
599 * rrdtool plugin: Create new RRD-files with the `begin' time set to
600 whatever the client thinks is `now'..
602 2007-09-01, Version 4.1.0
603 * Build system: The build system has been changed to automatically
604 disable all plugins, which are missing dependencies. The dependency
605 checking has been removed from the plugins themselves to remove
606 redundancy.
607 * Flexible interval: The interval of collected data is now sent along
608 with the data itself over the network, so that the interval-settings
609 of server and clients no longer needs to match.
610 * netlink plugin: The new `netlink' plugin connects to the Linux
611 kernel using a netlink socket and uses it to query information about
612 interfaces, qdiscs and classes.
613 * rrdtool plugin: The cache is now dumped to disk in an extra thread
614 to not block data collection.
615 * snmp plugin: The new `snmp' plugin can read values from SNMP enabled
616 network devices, such as switches, routers, thermometers, rack
617 monitoring servers, etc. The collectd-snmp(5) manpage documents this
618 plugin.
619 * unixsock plugin: Added the `LISTVAL' command.
620 * xmms plugin: The new `xmms' plugin graphs the bitrate and frequency
621 of music played with xmms.
623 2007-09-28, Version 4.0.9
624 * apcups plugin: Fix reporting of the `load percent' data.
625 * wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
626 noise quality as percentage.
627 * perl plugin: Fix a possible buffer overflow in get_module_name().
629 2007-09-12, Version 4.0.8
630 * collectd: The `sstrerror' function was improved to work correctly
631 with the broken GNU version of `strerror_r'.
632 * collectd: Write an error message to STDERR when loading of a plugin
633 fails.
634 * apcups plugin: Fix the `types' used to submit the values: They still
635 has an `apcups_' prefix which doesn't work anymore.
636 * rrdtool plugin: Create new RRD-files with the `begin' time set to
637 whatever the client thinks is `now'..
639 2007-08-26, Version 4.0.7
640 * documentation: Some typos have been fixed and some information has
641 been improved.
642 * build system: Many fixes for detecting libraries in unusual places,
643 such as on RedHat systems. The affected libraries are `libcurl',
644 `libmysql', and `libupsclient'.
645 * network plugin: Allow the `Port' option to be specified as a number
646 (i. e. without quotes).
647 * nut plugin: A fix allows linking the nut plugin against
648 libupsclient, version >= 2.2.0.
649 * processes plugin: Fix a potential segmentation fault.
651 2007-07-30, Version 4.0.6
652 * sensors plugin: Fix the ignorelist functionality: Only the `type
653 instance' was used to match against the list, but the documentation
654 told otherwise. This release fixes the code, so it complies with the
655 documentation.
656 * syslog plugin: Call `openlog' right when the plugin is loaded, so
657 configuration messages will end up in the logging facility.
658 * conrtib/fedora: The contributed specfile for Fedora has been
659 updated.
661 2007-07-05, Version 4.0.5
662 * Portability: More fixes for OpenBSD have been included.
664 2007-06-24, Version 4.0.4
665 * cpu plugin: Fixed the Solaris code.
666 * dns plugin: Fixed a build issue for OpenBSD.
667 * interface plugin: Fixed the Solaris code.
668 * load plugin: Fixed the alternative `/proc' Linux code.
669 * memory plugin: Fixed the Solaris code.
670 * oconfig: Don't require `-lfl' anymore.
672 2007-06-19, Version 4.0.3
673 * cpu plugin: Fix the Darwin / Mac OS X code.
674 * ping plugin: Use the return value of `getpid', not its address.
675 * csv, rrdtool plugin: Fixed a bug that prevented an buffer to be
676 initialized correctly.
677 * configure: Added `--with-nan-emulation' to aid cross compilation.
679 2007-06-12, Version 4.0.2
680 * hddtemp and ntpd plugin: Corrected the parsing of port numbers when
681 they're given in numerically form.
683 2007-06-07, Version 4.0.1
684 * iptables plugin: A bug in the configuration routine has been fixed.
685 Setting a comment in the configfile will no longer cause a
686 segmentation fault.
688 2007-06-03, Version 4.0.0
689 * collectd: The plugin-infrastructure has been changed to allow for
690 more types of plugins, namely `write' and `log' plugins.
691 * collectd: The read-function has been changed to read many plugins in
692 parallel, using threads. Thus, plugins generally need to use
693 thread-safe functions from now on.
694 * collectd: The '-t' command line options allows to perform syntax tests
695 of the configuration file and exit immediately.
696 * csv plugin: The new `csv' plugin handles output to `comma separated
697 values'-files.
698 * rrdtool plugin: The new `rrdtool' plugin handles output to
699 RRD-files. Data can be cached to combine multiple updates into one
700 write to increase IO-performance.
701 * network plugin: The new `network' plugin handles IO via the network.
702 It implements a different, much more extensible protocol which can
703 combine many values in one packet, decreasing the number of UDP-
704 packets being sent. It can read from and send to the network and
705 with the appropriate configuration even forward packets to other
706 networks.
707 * unixsock plugin: The new `unixsock' plugin provides an interface to
708 communicate with the daemon while it is running. Right now the
709 commands `GETVAL' and `PUTVAL' are implemented, but more are to
710 come.
711 * perl plugin: The new `perl' plugin allows you to write extensions
712 for collectd in the scripting-language Perl.
713 * logfile plugin: The new `logfile' plugin writes logmessages to files
714 or STDOUT or STDERR.
715 * syslog plugin: The new `syslog' plugin sends logmessages to the
716 system's syslog daemon.
717 * entropy plugin: The new `entropy' plugin collects the amount of
718 entropy currently being available to the system.
719 * exec plugin: The new `exec' plugin forks child processes and reads
720 back values provided by the forked processes.
721 * iptables plugin: The new `iptables' plugin reads counters from
722 iptables rules. Thanks to Sjoerd van der Berg for contributing this
723 plugin.
724 * irq plugin: The new `irq' plugin collects the IRQ-counters. Thanks
725 to Peter Holik for contributing this plugin.
726 * nut plugin: The new `nut' plugin connects the upsd of the `network
727 ups tools' and reads information about the connected UPS.
728 * apache plugin: Support for lighttpd's `BusyServers' (aka.
729 connections) field was added by Florent Monbillard.
730 * collectd-nagios: The new `collectd-nagios' binary queries values
731 from collectd, parses them and exits according to Nagios-standards.
732 * manpages: The manpages have been improved a lot.
734 2007-09-28, Version 3.11.7
735 * wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
736 noise quality as percentage.
738 2007-08-31, Version 3.11.6
739 * processes plugin: Fix a potential segmentation fault.
741 2007-05-29, Version 3.11.5
742 * configure: Added `AC_SYS_LARGEFILE' for LFS.
743 * ntpd plugin: Fix a potential buffer overflow.
744 * processes plugin: Fix a bug when run under Linux 2.4. All processes
745 were accounted as `zombies'.
747 2007-04-10, Version 3.11.4
748 * dns plugin: Change the order of includes to make the plugin compile
749 under FreeBSD.
751 2007-03-30, Version 3.11.3
752 * configure: Have the configure-script define `HAVE_LIBKSTAT' instead
753 of the unused `COLLECT_KSTAT'.
755 2007-02-11, Version 3.11.2
756 * plugin: Catch NULL-pointer and try to fix them. Otherwise the
757 NULL-pointer may have been passed to `printf' which causes a
758 segfault with some libcs.
760 2007-02-10, Version 3.11.1
761 * df plugin: Some wrong defines have been fixed so the plugin works
762 under Solaris again.
763 * dns plugin: The usage of a struct has been fixed to work with
764 non-GNU libcs.
765 * processes plugin: Some missing defines have been added so the plugin
766 compiles cleanly under FreeBSD and presumably other UNIXes.
768 2006-12-22, Version 3.11.0
769 * collectd: The new command line option `-P' makes it easier for
770 distributors to change the location of PID-files.
771 * collectd: The daemon shuts down faster now which makes it easier to
772 write init.d-scripts for it.
773 * apache plugin: Increase the buffersize to 16k, because the 4k buffer
774 caused problems every now and then.
775 * df plugin: New config options allow to ignore certain mountpoints,
776 filesystem types or devices.
777 * dns plugin: The new dns plugin uses `libpcap' to capture DNS traffic
778 and interprets it. It collects traffic as well as qtype, opcode and
779 rcode counts.
780 * email plugin: Sebastian Harl has contributed this plugin which
781 counts received mails in categories (e. g. ham, spam, virus), spam
782 score (as given by SpamAssassin) and check types.
783 * mbmon plugin: Flavio Stanchina has contributed this plugin which
784 uses `mbmon' to gather information from sensors on the motherboard.
785 * processes plugin: Collect detailed statistics for configured
786 processes, that's process and thread count, CPU usage, resident
787 segment size and pagefaults.
788 * multimeter plugin: Peter Holik contributed a new plugin which
789 queries multimeters.
790 * sensors plugin: Lubos Stanek has put much effort into improving this
791 plugin, including `extended naming', collection of voltage values
792 and the possibility to ignore certain values.
794 2006-12-21, Version 3.10.4
795 * Max Kellermann has identified a bug in the server routine: When
796 opening a socket fails the daemon will (re)try opening the socket in
797 an endless loop, ultimately leading to a `EMFILE' error.
799 2006-11-04, Version 3.10.3
800 * Lubos Stanek has identified a bug in the ntpd-plugin: When the
801 ntpd's reply was sent in more than one packet, the buffer size was
802 calculated incorrectly, resulting in the reading of uninitialized or
803 freed memory.
805 2006-11-01, Version 3.10.2
806 * The sample config file has been improved.
807 * Errors in the manpages have been corrected.
808 * The ping-plugin now adds hosts during initialization, not during
809 startup. This speeds up startup when no network connectivity is
810 available. Also, the hosts are being added later when the network is
811 available.
812 * Improved BSD-support for the df-plugin.
813 * Fixed syntax errors in the swap-plugin for Mac OS X.
814 * Fix a wrong structure being passed to `getnameinfo' in the ntpd-
815 plugin.
816 * Don't disable the mysql-plugin if connecting to the database fails
817 during initialization. Instead, try again in increasing intervals.
819 2006-07-19, Version 3.10.1
820 * A bug in the apcups plugin was fixed: Is the plugin is loaded, but
821 the apcups cannot be reached, unconnected sockets will pile up and
822 eventually lead to `Too many open files' errors.
824 2006-07-09, Version 3.10.0
825 * The `disk' plugin has been ported to Darwin.
826 * The `battery' plugin should work on many Apple computers now.
827 * The `traffic' plugin can now ignore certain interfaces. Also,
828 statistics for sent/received packets and errors have been added.
829 * A plugin to monitor APC UPSes using `apcupsd' has been added. Thanks
830 to Anthony Gialluca for contributing this plugin and providing me
831 with a test environment :)
832 * A plugin for monitoring an NTP instance and the local clock drift
833 has been added.
835 2006-06-25, Version 3.9.4
836 * The Solaris code in the `swap' plugin has been changed to reflect
837 the numbers returned by `swap -s'. Thanks to Christophe Kalt for
838 working this out.
839 * The debugging system has been fixed to work with the Sun libc.
840 * When built without librrd the variable `operating_mode' could be
841 uninitialized. Thanks to David Elliot for reporting the bug.
843 2006-06-01, Version 3.9.3
844 * Fixed the ping-plugin under FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Potentially other
845 operating systems also profit from the changes, but I wasn't able to
846 check that.
847 * Changed the build system to find the netinet-includes under FreeBSD
848 and therefore successfully build the `liboping' library there.
850 2006-05-09, Version 3.9.2
851 * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
852 sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
853 approximately 7.6 days.
855 2006-05-09, Version 3.8.5
856 * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
857 sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
858 approximately 7.6 days.
860 2006-04-21, Version 3.9.1
861 * Build issues with Solaris and possible other architectures have been
862 resolved.
863 * Problems when building the `apache'-plugin without `libcurl' have
864 been resolved.
865 * A bug in the `ping' plugin has been fixed. Sorry folks.
867 2006-04-02, Version 3.9.0
868 * A plugin to monitor the Apache webserver has been added.
869 <http://httpd.apache.org/>
870 * A plugin to collect statistics about virtual servers using VServer.
871 <http://linux-vserver.org/> Thanks to Sebastian Harl for writing
872 this plugin :)
873 * A plugin for wireless LAN cards has been added. It monitors signal
874 strength, link quality and noise ratio..
875 * A plugin for Apple hardware sensors has been added.
876 * An option to compile collectd with different `step' and `heartbeat'
877 settings has been added. The size of RRAs is no longer static but
878 calculated based on the settings for `step' and `width'.
879 * The `ping' plugin can now be configured to use a certain TTL.
880 * A plugin to monitor the hardware sensors of Apple computers has been
881 added.
882 * The plugins `cpu', `memory', `processes' and `traffic' have been
883 ported to Mach/Darwin (Mac OS X).
884 * The `log mode' has been contributed by Christophe Kalt. It writes
885 the data into text files rather than RRD files.
887 2006-04-09, Version 3.8.4
888 * Applied patch by Vincent Stehlé which improves the disk-name
889 resolution in the `hddtemp' plugin for Linux systems.
891 2006-04-02, Version 3.8.3
892 * Applied a patch by James Byers: The MySQL plugin was not working
893 with MySQL 5.0.2 or later.
895 2006-03-14, Version 3.8.2
896 * `utils_mount.c' has been changed to not use the `MNTTAB' defined by
897 the GNU libc, because it points to `/etc/fstab' rather than
898 `/etc/mtab'.
900 2006-03-13, Version 3.8.1
901 * Fixes for building collectd under FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris.
902 * Fixes in the debian `postinst' and `init.d' scripts.
904 2006-03-09, Version 3.8.0
905 * The `ping' plugin no longer uses `libping' but a self written
906 library named `liboping'. With this library it's possible to ping
907 multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and hostnames - in parallel.
909 2006-02-18, Version 3.7.2
910 * A simple bug in the `battery' plugin has been fixed. It should now
911 work with ACPI based batteries as well. Thanks to Sebastian for
912 fixing this.
913 * Fixing a bug that prevented collectd to be built without librrd.
914 Thanks to Werner Heuser for reporting it.
916 2006-02-04, Version 3.7.1
917 * The new network code has been improved to build with older versions
918 of glibc.
919 * Fix in `libping' sets the ICMP sequence on outgoing packets. Thanks
920 to Tommie Gannert for this patch.
922 2006-01-30, Version 3.7.0
923 * The `battery' plugin has been added. It collects information about
924 laptop batteries..
925 * The MySQL plugin has been improved: It now writes two more RRD
926 files, `mysql_qcache.rrd' and `mysql_threads.rrd'.
927 * The `cpufreq' plugin now reads another file since the file it did
928 read so far causes much overhead in the kernel. Also, you need root
929 to read the old file, but not to read the new one.
930 * The `hddtemp' plugin can now be configured to connect to another
931 address and/or port than localhost.
932 * The `df' plugin now prefers `statvfs' over `statfs'.
933 * The network code has been rewritten. collectd now supports unicast
934 and multicast, and IPv4 and IPv6. Also, the TTL of sent packages can
935 be set in the configfile.
937 2006-01-24, Version 3.6.2
938 * Due to a bug in the configfile handling collectd wouldn't start in
939 client mode. This released fixes this.
941 2006-01-20, Version 3.6.1
942 * Due to a bug in `configure.in' all modules and the binary were
943 linked against `libmysqlclient'. This issue is solved by this
944 release.
946 2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
947 * A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
948 plugins.
949 * A `df' plugin has been added.
950 * A `mysql' plugin has been added.
951 * The `ping' plugin doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket error
952 occurred, but will back of and increase the intervals between tries.
954 2006-01-21, Version 3.5.2
955 * Fixed yet another bug in the signal handling.. Stupid typo..
956 * Improved the ping plugin to not give up on socket errors (backport
957 from 3.6.0).
959 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
960 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
961 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
963 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
964 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
965 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
966 currently logged in users.
967 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
968 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
969 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
970 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
972 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
973 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
974 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
975 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
976 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
977 with the `-c' argument.
978 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
979 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
980 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
981 Barcellos for this patch.
983 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
984 * New modules have been added:
985 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
986 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
987 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
988 * The memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
990 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
991 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
992 Vincent)
993 * If reading from hddtemp fails collectd will increase the time
994 between polls up to one day.
995 * The init.d files have been improved.
996 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
998 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
999 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
1000 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
1002 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
1003 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
1004 multicast) has been added.
1005 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
1006 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
1007 to be linked against an external library.
1008 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
1009 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
1011 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
1012 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
1014 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
1015 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
1016 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
1017 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If provided under Linux IRQ and
1018 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
1019 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
1020 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
1021 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
1022 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
1023 cleanly.
1025 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
1026 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
1027 disabled.
1028 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update fails.
1030 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
1031 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
1033 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
1034 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
1035 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
1036 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
1037 authors.
1038 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
1039 aren't necessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
1040 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
1042 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
1043 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
1044 collected under Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
1045 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
1046 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added under contrib/museum
1047 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
1048 statistics will not work.
1050 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
1051 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
1052 weird strings as disk-names..
1054 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
1055 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
1056 about the disks and partitions.
1058 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
1059 * The meminfo module has been changed to work with more platforms
1060 and/or kernel versions.
1062 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
1063 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
1064 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
1066 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
1067 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
1068 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
1070 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
1071 * Collecting CPU statistics now
1073 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
1074 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
1075 and the like..
1076 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
1078 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
1079 * Nothing really useful to say ;)
1081 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
1082 * The following modules are provided:
1083 * Load average
1084 * Ping time
1085 * Traffic
1086 * Memory info
