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.
7 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
8 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
9 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
11 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
12 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
13 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
14 currently logged in users.
15 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
16 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
17 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
18 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
20 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
21 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
22 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
23 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
24 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
25 with the `-c' argument.
26 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
27 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
28 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
29 Barcellos for this patch.
31 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
32 * New modules have been added:
33 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
34 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
35 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
36 * The the memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
38 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
39 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
41 * If reading from hddtemp failes collectd will increase the time
42 between polls up to one day.
43 * The init.d files have been improved.
44 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
46 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
47 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
48 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
50 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
51 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
52 multicast) has been added.
53 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
54 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
55 to be linked against an external library.
56 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
57 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
59 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
60 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
62 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
63 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
64 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
65 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If privided under Linux IRQ and
66 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
67 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
68 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
69 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
70 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
73 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
74 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
76 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update failes.
78 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
79 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
81 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
82 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
83 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
84 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
86 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
87 aren't neccessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
88 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
90 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
91 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
92 collected unter Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
93 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
94 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added unter contrib/museum
95 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
96 statistics will not work.
98 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
99 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
100 weird strings as disk-names..
102 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
103 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
104 about the disks and partitions.
106 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
107 * The meminfo mofule has been changed to work with more platforms
108 and/or kernel versions.
110 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
111 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
112 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
114 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
115 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
116 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
118 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
119 * Collecting CPU statistics now
121 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
122 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
124 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
126 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
127 * Nothing really usefull to say ;)
129 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
130 * The following modules are provided:
