Thanks to Mariusz Gronczewski for implementing this. + * thresholds: The advanced threshold options “Percentage”, “Hits”, and + “Hysteresis” have been added. Thanks to Andrés J. Díaz for hit + patches. + * curl_json plugin: The new cURL-JSON plugin reads JSON files using + the cURL library and parses the contents according to user + specification. Among other things, this allows to read statistics + from a CouchDB instance. Thanks to Doug MacEachern for the patch. + * df plugin: Using the new “ReportByDevice” option the device rather + than the mount point can be used to identify partitions. Thanks to + Paul Sadauskas for the patch. + * dns plugin: The possibility to ignore numeric QTypes has been added. + Thanks to Mirko Buffoni for the patch. + * GenericJMX plugin: The new, Java-based GenericJMX plugin allows to + query arbitrary data from a Java process using the “Java Management + Extensions” (JMX). + * madwifi plugin: The new MadWifi plugin collects information about + Atheros wireless LAN chipsets from the MadWifi driver. Thanks to + Ondrej Zajicek for his patches. + * network plugin: The receive- and send-buffer-sizes have been made + configurable, allowing for bigger and smaller packets. Thanks to + Aman Gupta for the patch. + * olsrd plugin: The new OLSRd plugin queries routing information from + the “Optimized Link State Routing” daemon. + * rrdtool plugin: A new configuration option allows to define a random + write delay when writing RRD files. This spreads the load created by + writing RRD files more evenly. Thanks to Mariusz Gronczewski for the + patch. + * swap plugin: The possibility to collect swapped in/out pages has + been added to the Swap plugin. Thanks to Stefan Völkel for the + patch. + * tokyotyrant plugin: The new TokyoTyrant plugin reads the number of + records and file size from a running Tokyo Tyrant server. Thanks to + Paul Sadauskas for the patch. + * unixsock plugin: Add the “GETTHRESHOLD” command. This command can be + used to query the thresholds configured for a particular identifier. + * write_http plugin: The new Write HTTP plugin sends the values + collected by collectd to a web-server using HTTP POST requests. + Thanks to Paul Sadauskas for the patch. + * zfs_arc plugin: The new ZFS ARC plugin collects information about + the “Adaptive Replacement Cache” (ARC) of the “Zeta File-System” + (ZFS). Thanks to Anthony Dewhurst for the patch. + * empty_counter match: The new Empty Counter match matches value + lists, where at least one data source is of type COUNTER and the + counter value of all counter data sources is zero. + + 2009-10-03, Version 4.7.4 + * Build system: Issues when building the iptables plugin have been + fixed. + * exec plugin: Clear the signal block mask before calling exec(2). + * perl plugin: Declare the “environ” variable. This solves build + issues on some platforms. + * processes plugin: Remove unnecessary call of realloc(3). Thanks to + Andrés J. Díaz for the patch. + * unixsock plugin: Fix a (well hidden) race condition related to file + descriptor handling. + 2009-09-13, Version 4.7.3 * collectd: Fix a possible but very rare invalid “free” in the caching code. Thanks to Sebastian Harl for the patch.
