1 2006-01-20, Version 3.6.1
2 * Due to a bug in `configure.in' all modules and the binary were
3 linked against `libmysqlclient'. This issue is solved by this
4 release.
6 2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
7 * A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
8 plugins.
9 * A `df' plugin has been added.
10 * A `mysql' plugin has been added.
11 * The `plugin' module doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket
12 error occured, but will back of and increase the intervals between
13 tries.
15 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
16 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
17 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
19 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
20 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
21 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
22 currently logged in users.
23 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
24 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
25 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
26 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
28 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
29 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
30 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
31 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
32 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
33 with the `-c' argument.
34 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
35 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
36 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
37 Barcellos for this patch.
39 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
40 * New modules have been added:
41 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
42 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
43 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
44 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
46 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
47 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
48 Vincent)
49 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
50 between polls up to one day.
51 * The init.d files have been improved.
52 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
54 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
55 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
56 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
58 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
59 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
60 multicast) has been added.
61 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
62 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
63 to be linked against an external library.
64 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
65 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
67 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
68 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
70 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
71 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
72 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
73 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
74 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
75 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
76 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
77 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
78 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
79 cleanly.
81 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
82 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
83 disabled.
84 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
86 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
87 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
89 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
90 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
91 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
92 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
93 authors.
94 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
95 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
96 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
98 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
99 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
100 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
101 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
102 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
103 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
104 statistics will not work.
106 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
107 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
108 weird strings as disk-names..
110 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
111 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
112 about the disks and partitions.
114 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
115 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
116 and/or kernel versions.
118 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
119 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
120 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
122 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
123 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
124 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
126 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
127 * Collecting CPU statistics now
129 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
130 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
131 and the like..
132 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
134 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
135 * Nothing really usefull to say ;)
137 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
138 * The following modules are provided:
139 * Load average
140 * Ping time
141 * Traffic
142 * Memory info
