1 2006-01-23, Version 3.7.0
2 * The `battery' plugin has been added. It collects information about
5 2006-01-24, Version 3.6.2
6 * Due to a bug in the configfile handling collectd wouldn't start in
7 client mode. This released fixes this.
9 2006-01-20, Version 3.6.1
10 * Due to a bug in `configure.in' all modules and the binary were
11 linked against `libmysqlclient'. This issue is solved by this
14 2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
15 * A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
17 * A `df' plugin has been added.
18 * A `mysql' plugin has been added.
19 * The `ping' plugin doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket error
20 occured, but will back of and increase the intervals between tries.
22 2006-01-21, Version 3.5.2
23 * Fixed yet another bug in the signal handling.. Stupid typo..
24 * Improved the ping plugin to not give up on socket errors (backport
27 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
28 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
29 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
31 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
32 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
33 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
34 currently logged in users.
35 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
36 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
37 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
38 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
40 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
41 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
42 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
43 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
44 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
45 with the `-c' argument.
46 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
47 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
48 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
49 Barcellos for this patch.
51 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
52 * New modules have been added:
53 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
54 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
55 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
56 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
58 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
59 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
61 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
62 between polls up to one day.
63 * The init.d files have been improved.
64 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
66 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
67 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
68 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
70 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
71 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
72 multicast) has been added.
73 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
74 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
75 to be linked against an external library.
76 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
77 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
79 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
80 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
82 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
83 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
84 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
85 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
86 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
87 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
88 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
89 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
90 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
93 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
94 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
96 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
98 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
99 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
101 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
102 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
103 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
104 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
106 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
107 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
108 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
110 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
111 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
112 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
113 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
114 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
115 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
116 statistics will not work.
118 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
119 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
120 weird strings as disk-names..
122 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
123 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
124 about the disks and partitions.
126 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
127 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
128 and/or kernel versions.
130 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
131 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
132 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
134 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
135 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
136 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
138 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
139 * Collecting CPU statistics now
141 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
142 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
144 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
