1 2005-12-17, 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 * A signal handler for SIGTERM has been added. Signal handlers have
9 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
10 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
11 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
13 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
14 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
15 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
16 currently logged in users.
17 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
18 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
19 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
20 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
22 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
23 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
24 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
25 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
26 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
27 with the `-c' argument.
28 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
29 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
30 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
31 Barcellos for this patch.
33 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
34 * New modules have been added:
35 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
36 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
37 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
38 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
40 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
41 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
43 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
44 between polls up to one day.
45 * The init.d files have been improved.
46 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
48 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
49 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
50 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
52 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
53 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
54 multicast) has been added.
55 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
56 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
57 to be linked against an external library.
58 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
59 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
61 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
62 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
64 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
65 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
66 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
67 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
68 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
69 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
70 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
71 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
72 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
75 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
76 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
78 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
80 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
81 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
83 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
84 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
85 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
86 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
88 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
89 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.

92 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
93 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
94 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
95 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
96 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
97 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
98 statistics will not work.
100 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
101 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
102 weird strings as disk-names..
104 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
105 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
106 about the disks and partitions.
108 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
109 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
110 and/or kernel versions.
112 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
113 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
114 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
116 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
117 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
118 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
120 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
121 * Collecting CPU statistics now
123 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
124 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
126 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
128 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
129 * Nothing really usefull to say ;)
131 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
132 * The following modules are provided:
