Thus, plugins generally need to use + thread-safe functions from now on. + * collectd: The '-t' command line options allows to perform syntax tests + of the configuration file and exit immediately. + * csv plugin: The new `csv' plugin handles output to `comma separated + 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. + * perl plugin: The new `perl' plugin allows you to write extensions + for collectd in the scripting-language Perl. + * 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 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. + * collectd-nagios: The new `collectd-nagios' binary queries values + from collectd, parses them and exits according to Nagios-standards. + * manpages: The manpages have been improved a lot. + +2007-05-29, Version 3.11.5 + * configure: Added `AC_SYS_LARGEFILE' for LFS. + * ntpd plugin: Fix a potential buffer overflow. + * processes plugin: Fix a bug when run under Linux 2.4. All processes + were accounted as `zombies'. + +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'. + +2007-02-11, Version 3.11.2 + * plugin: Catch NULL-pointer and try to fix them. Otherwise the + NULL-pointer may have been passed to `printf' which causes a + segfault with some libcs. + +2007-02-10, Version 3.11.1 + * df plugin: Some wrong defines have been fixed so the plugin works + under Solaris again. + * dns plugin: The usage of a struct has been fixed to work with + non-GNU libcs. + * processes plugin: Some missing defines have been added so the plugin + compiles cleanly under FreeBSD and presumably other UNIXes. + +2006-12-22, Version 3.11.0 + * collectd: The new command line option `-P' makes it easier for + distributors to change the location of PID-files. + * collectd: The daemon shuts down faster now which makes it easier to + write init.d-scripts for it. + * apache plugin: Increase the buffersize to 16k, because the 4k buffer + caused problems every now and then. + * df plugin: New config options allow to ignore certain mountpoints, + filesystem types or devices. + * dns plugin: The new dns plugin uses `libpcap' to capture DNS traffic + and interprets it. It collects traffic as well as qtype, opcode and + rcode counts. + * email plugin: Sebastian Harl has contributed this plugin which + counts received mails in categories (e. g. ham, spam, virus), spam + score (as given by SpamAssassin) and check types. + * mbmon plugin: Flavio Stanchina has contributed this plugin which + uses `mbmon' to gather information from sensors on the motherboard. + * processes plugin: Collect detailed statistics for configured + processes, that's process and thread count, CPU usage, resident + segment size and pagefaults. + * multimeter plugin: Peter Holik contributed a new plugin which + queries multimeters. + * sensors plugin: Lubos Stanek has put much effort into improving this + plugin, including `extended naming', collection of voltage values + and the possibility to ignore certain values. + 2006-12-21, Version 3.10.4 * Max Kellermann has identified a bug in the server routine: When opening a socket fails the daemon will (re)try opening the socket in
