1 2006-03-21, Version 3.9.0
2 * A plugin to monitor the Apache webserver has been added.
3 <http://httpd.apache.org/>
4 * A plugin to collect statistics about virtual servers using VServer.
5 <http://linux-vserver.org/> Thanks to Sebastian Harl for writing
6 this plugin :)
7 * A plugin for wireless LAN cards has been added. It monitors signal
8 strength, link quality and noise ratio..
9 * An option to compile collectd with different `step' and `hearbeat'
10 settings has been added. The size of RRAs is no longer static but
11 calculated based on the settings for `step' and `width'.
12 * The `ping' plugin can now be configured to use a certain TTL.
14 2006-03-14, Version 3.8.2
15 * `utils_mount.c' has been changed to not use the `MNTTAB' defined by
16 the GNU libc, because it points to `/etc/fstab' rather than
17 `/etc/mtab'.
19 2006-03-13, Version 3.8.1
20 * Fixes for building collectd unter FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris.
21 * Fixes in the debian `postinst' and `init.d' scripts.
23 2006-03-09, Version 3.8.0
24 * The `ping' plugin no longer uses `libping' but a self written
25 library named `liboping'. With this library it's possible to ping
26 multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and hostnames - in parallel.
28 2006-02-18, Version 3.7.2
29 * A simple bug in the `battery' plugin has been fixed. It should now
30 work with ACPI based batteries as well. Thankt to Sebastian for
31 fixing this.
32 * Fixing a bug that prevented collectd to be built without librrd.
33 Thanks to Werner Heuser for reporting it.
35 2006-02-04, Version 3.7.1
36 * The new network code has been improved to build with older versions
37 of glibc.
38 * Fix in `libping' sets the ICMP sequence on outgoing packets. Thanks
39 to Tommie Gannert for this patch.
41 2006-01-30, Version 3.7.0
42 * The `battery' plugin has been added. It collects information about
43 laptop batteries..
44 * The MySQL plugin has been improved: It now writes two more RRD
45 files, `mysql_qcache.rrd' and `mysql_threads.rrd'.
46 * The `cpufreq' plugin now reads another file since the file it did
47 read so far causes much overhead in the kernel. Also, you need root
48 to read the old file, but not to read the new one.
49 * The `hddtemp' plugin can now be configured to connect to another
50 address and/or port than localhost.
51 * The `df' plugin now prefers `statvfs' over `statfs'.
52 * The network code has been rewritten. collectd now supports unicast
53 and multicast, and IPv4 and IPv6. Also, the TTL of sent packages can
54 be set in the configfile.
56 2006-01-24, Version 3.6.2
57 * Due to a bug in the configfile handling collectd wouldn't start in
58 client mode. This released fixes this.
60 2006-01-20, Version 3.6.1
61 * Due to a bug in `configure.in' all modules and the binary were
62 linked against `libmysqlclient'. This issue is solved by this
63 release.
65 2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
66 * A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
67 plugins.
68 * A `df' plugin has been added.
69 * A `mysql' plugin has been added.
70 * The `ping' plugin doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket error
71 occured, but will back of and increase the intervals between tries.
73 2006-01-21, Version 3.5.2
74 * Fixed yet another bug in the signal handling.. Stupid typo..
75 * Improved the ping plugin to not give up on socket errors (backport
76 from 3.6.0).
78 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
79 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
80 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
82 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
83 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
84 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
85 currently logged in users.
86 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
87 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
88 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
89 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
91 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
92 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
93 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
94 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
95 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
96 with the `-c' argument.
97 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
98 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
99 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
100 Barcellos for this patch.
102 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
103 * New modules have been added:
104 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
105 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
106 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
107 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
109 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
110 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
111 Vincent)
112 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
113 between polls up to one day.
114 * The init.d files have been improved.
115 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
117 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
118 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
119 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
121 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
122 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
123 multicast) has been added.
124 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
125 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
126 to be linked against an external library.
127 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
128 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
130 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
131 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
133 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
134 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
135 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
136 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
137 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
138 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
139 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
140 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
141 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
142 cleanly.
144 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
145 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
146 disabled.
147 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
149 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
150 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
152 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
153 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
154 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
155 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
156 authors.
157 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
158 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
159 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
161 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
162 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
163 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
164 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
165 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
166 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
167 statistics will not work.
169 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
170 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
171 weird strings as disk-names..
173 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
174 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
175 about the disks and partitions.
177 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
178 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
179 and/or kernel versions.
181 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
182 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
183 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
185 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
186 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
187 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
189 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
190 * Collecting CPU statistics now
192 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
193 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
194 and the like..
195 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
197 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
198 * Nothing really usefull to say ;)
200 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
201 * The following modules are provided:
202 * Load average
203 * Ping time
204 * Traffic
205 * Memory info
