1 2005-12-07, Version 3.5.0
2 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
3 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
4 currently logged in users.
6 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
7 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
8 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
9 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
10 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
11 with the `-c' argument.
12 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
13 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
14 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
15 Barcellos for this patch.
17 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
18 * New modules have been added:
19 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
20 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
21 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
22 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
24 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
25 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
27 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
28 between polls up to one day.
29 * The init.d files have been improved.
30 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
32 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
33 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
34 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
36 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
37 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
38 multicast) has been added.
39 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
40 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
41 to be linked against an external library.
42 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
43 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
45 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
46 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
48 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
49 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
50 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
51 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
52 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
53 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
54 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
55 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
56 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
59 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
60 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
62 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
64 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
65 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
67 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
68 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
69 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
70 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
72 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
73 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
74 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
76 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
77 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
78 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
79 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
80 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
81 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
82 statistics will not work.
84 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
85 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
86 weird strings as disk-names..
88 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
89 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
90 about the disks and partitions.
92 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
93 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
94 and/or kernel versions.
96 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
97 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
98 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
100 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
101 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
102 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
104 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
105 * Collecting CPU statistics now
107 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
108 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
110 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
112 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
113 * Nothing really usefull to say ;)
115 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
116 * The following modules are provided:
