Thus, plugins generally need to use + thread-safe functions from now on. + * csv plugin: The new `csv' plugin handles output to `comma seperated + values'-files. + * rrdtool plugin: The new `rrdtool' plugin handles output to + RRD-files. Data can be cached to combine multiple updates into one + write to increase IO-performance. + * network plugin: The new `network' plugin handles IO via the network. + It implements a different, much more extensible protocol which can + combine many values in one packet, decreasing the number of UDP- + packets being sent. It can read from and send to the network and + with the appropriate configuration even forward packets to other + networks. + * unixsock plugin: The new `unixsock' plugin provides an interface to + communicate with the daemon while it is running. Right now the + commands `GETVAL' and `PUTVAL' are implemented, but more are to + come. + * logfile plugin: The new `logfile' plugin writes logmessages to files + or STDOUT or STDERR. + * syslog plugin: The new `syslog' plugin sends logmessages to the + system's syslog daemon. + * entropy plugin: The new `entropy' plugin collects the amount of + entropy currently being available to the system. + * exec plugin: The new `exec' plugin forks child processes and reads + back values provided by the forked processes. + * iptables plugin: The new `iptables' plugin reads counters from + iptables rules. Thanks to Sjoerd van der Berg for contributing this + plugin. + * irq plugin: The new `irq' plugin collects the IRQ-counters. Thanks + to Peter Holik for contributing this plugin. + * nut plugin: The new `nut' plugin connects the the upsd of the + `network ups tools' and reads information about the connected UPS. * apache plugin: Support for lighttpd's `BusyServers' (aka. - connections) field was added by Florent Monbillard. + connections) field was added by Florent Monbillard. + * collectd-nagios: The new `collectd-nagios' binary queries values + from collectd, parses them and exits according to Nagios-standards. + 2007-04-10, Version 3.11.4 + * dns plugin: Change the order of includes to make the plugin compile + under FreeBSD. + 2007-03-30, Version 3.11.3 * configure: Have the configure-script define `HAVE_LIBKSTAT' instead of the unused `COLLECT_KSTAT'.
