collectd (4.0.0~rc6-1) experimental; urgency=low This version introduces significant changes to the layout of the RRD files created by collectd. In order to keep your old data you have to migrate it. This can be done by using /usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-3-4.px. This script will output a series of shell commands that should do all the work automatically. However, depending on your setup, a couple of minor changes might be necessary to migrate all of your data. In this case, please file a bug report so that the necessary changes can be added to the script. The script creates the new RRD files in /tmp/collectd-4/ which can be moved to /var/lib/collectd/rrd/ if everything went right. Thus, the migration can be done like this (you might want to backup your data before): /usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-3-4.px | bash rm -rf /var/lib/collectd mkdir /var/lib/collectd mv /tmp/collectd-4 /var/lib/collectd/rrd Additionally, the syntax of the configuration file has changed slightly. All strings need to be surrounded by double quotes. See collectd.conf(5) for details. -- Sebastian Harl Tue, 24 Apr 2007 10:44:26 +0200
