1 2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
2 * A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
4 * A `df' plugin has been added.
5 * A `mysql' plugin has been added.
6 * The `plugin' module doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket
7 error occured, but will back of and increase the intervals between
10 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
11 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
12 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
14 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
15 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
16 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
17 currently logged in users.
18 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
19 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
20 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
21 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
23 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
24 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
25 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
26 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
27 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
28 with the `-c' argument.
29 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
30 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
31 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
32 Barcellos for this patch.
34 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
35 * New modules have been added:
36 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
37 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
38 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
39 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
41 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
42 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
44 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
45 between polls up to one day.
46 * The init.d files have been improved.
47 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
49 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
50 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
51 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
53 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
54 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
55 multicast) has been added.
56 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
57 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
58 to be linked against an external library.
59 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
60 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
62 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
63 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
65 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
66 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
67 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
68 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
69 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
70 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
71 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
72 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
73 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
76 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
77 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
79 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
81 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
82 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
84 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
85 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
86 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
87 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
89 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
90 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
91 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
93 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
94 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
95 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
96 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
97 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
98 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
99 statistics will not work.
101 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
102 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
103 weird strings as disk-names..
105 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
106 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
107 about the disks and partitions.
109 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
110 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
111 and/or kernel versions.
113 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
114 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
115 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
117 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
118 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
119 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
121 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
122 * Collecting CPU statistics now
124 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
125 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
127 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
129 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
130 * Nothing really usefull to say ;)
132 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
133 * The following modules are provided:
