1 2008-04-22, Version 4.2.7
2 * build system: Improved detection of several libraries, especially if
3 they are in non-standard paths.
4 * collectd: Error and warning messages have been improved.
5 * collectd: Check for the BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN defines before
7 * apache plugin: Allocate new memory when reading a webpage instead of
8 using a buffer of static size.
9 * exec plugin: Close (almost) all filedescriptors before exec(2)ing
11 * hddtemp plugin: Error and warning messages have been improved.
13 2008-03-29, Version 4.2.6
14 * collectd: Improved error messages when parsing the configuration.
15 * sensors plugin: Fix temperature collection with libsensors4.
16 * unixsock plugin: Fix mixed input and output operation on streams.
17 * wireless plugin: Fix reading noise value.
19 2008-03-04, Version 4.2.5
20 * apache plugin: Improved initialization and error messages.
21 * exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs.
23 + Create separate threads for reading from the socket and parsing
24 and dispatching incoming packets. Versions prior to this may have
25 problems in high-load situations, where the socket receive buffers
26 overflows, resulting in gaps in the data.
27 + Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid
28 alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc.
29 + Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure
30 cross-platform compatibility.
31 * ping plugin: Correct the handling of the `TTL' setting.
32 * rrdtool plugin: Ensure correct handling of the `RRATimespan' option.
33 * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris.
34 * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements.
36 2008-01-21, Version 4.2.4
37 * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set
38 the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage. Thanks to
39 Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
40 * collectd: The documentation has been improved.
42 2007-12-28, Version 4.2.3
43 * sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3
44 of the libsensors library.
46 2007-12-15, Version 4.2.2
47 * nginx plugin: Incorrect comparison of strings lead to a segfault
48 when using the plugin. Thanks to Saulius Grigaliunas for fixing
50 * logfile plugin: The config option `Timestamp' was handled
51 incorrectly and basically always active. Thanks to Luke Heberling
54 2007-11-08, Version 4.2.1
55 * tcpconns plugin: Don't complain about a missing file if IPv6 is not
57 * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
59 2007-10-27, Version 4.2.0
60 * collectd: The new config option `Include' lets you include other
61 configfiles and thus split up your config into smaller parts. This
62 may be especially interesting for the snmp plugin to keep the data
63 definitions separate from the host definitions.
64 * ipvs plugin: The new `ipvs' plugin collects IPVS connection statistics
65 (number of connections, octets and packets for each service and
66 destination). Thanks to Sebastian Harl for this plugin.
67 * memcached plugin: The new `memcached' plugin connects to a memcached
68 daemon process and collects statistics of this distributed caching
69 system. Thanks to Antony Dovgal for contributing this plugin.
70 * nginx plugin: The new `nginx' plugin reads the status page of an
71 nginx daemon and saves the handled connections and requests.
72 * perl plugin: Many changes, including the added `EnableDebugger'
73 config option which lets you debug your Perl plugins more easily.
74 * rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to
75 be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
76 * snmp plugin: Added the options `Scale' and `Shift' to Data-blocks to
77 correct the values returned by SNMP-agents. If a <data> block is
78 defined as `table' the instance is now optional. The sequence number
79 is used as the type-instance in this case. The new `InstancePrefix'
80 option allows to add arbitrary prefixes to the type-instance.
81 * tcpconns plugin: The new `tcpconns' plugin collects the number of
82 certain TCP connections and what state they're in. This can be used
83 to see how many connections your FTP server has to handle or how
84 many outgoing connections your mailserver has open.
86 2008-01-11, Version 4.1.6
87 * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set
88 the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage. Thanks to
89 Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue.
90 * collectd: The documentation has been improved.
92 2007-12-27, Version 4.1.5

96 of the libsensors library.
98 2007-11-08, Version 4.1.4
99 * Build system: Improve detection of the rrd library, especially if
100 it's in a non-standard location.
101 * Build system: A bug when parsing the argument for
102 `--with-libnetsnmp' has been fixed.
103 * collectd: Implement `strerror_r' if the libc doesn't provide it.
104 * rrdtool plugin: Fix a bug in the shutdown sequence that might cause
105 a deadlock or delay when shutting down the daemon.
106 * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak.
108 2007-10-24, Version 4.1.3
109 * collectd: A build issue under Solaris has been resolved by renaming
111 * rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to
112 be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library.
114 2007-09-28, Version 4.1.2
115 * apcups plugin: Fix reporting of the `load percent' data.
116 * wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
117 noise quality as percentage.
118 * perl plugin: Fix a possible buffer overflow in get_module_name().
119 * build system: Further improve the detection of libraries.
120 * netlink plugin: Build issues under some older versions of the Linux
121 includes (i. e. Debian Sarge) have been fixed.
122 * snmp plugin: Fix a potential segfault when a host times out. Add
123 support for the `timeticks' type.

126 * Build system: The detection of `libnetlink' has been improved.
127 * collectd: The documentation has been fixed in numerous places.
128 * exec plugin: Setting the group under which to run a program has been
130 * collectd: The `sstrerror' function was improved to work correctly
131 with the broken GNU version of `strerror_r'.
132 * collectd: Write an error message to STDERR when loading of a plugin
134 * apcups plugin: Fix the `types' used to submit the values: They still
135 has an `apcups_' prefix which doesn't work anymore.
136 * rrdtool plugin: Create new RRD-files with the `begin' time set to
137 whatever the client thinks is `now'..
139 2007-09-01, Version 4.1.0
140 * Build system: The build system has been changed to automatically
141 disable all plugins, which are missing dependencies. The dependency
142 checking has been removed from the plugins themselves to remove
144 * Flexible interval: The interval of collected data is now sent along
145 with the data itself over the network, so that the interval-settings
146 of server and clients no longer needs to match.
147 * netlink plugin: The new `netlink' plugin connects to the Linux
148 kernel using a netlink socket and uses it to query information about
149 interfaces, qdiscs and classes.
150 * rrdtool plugin: The cache is now dumped to disk in an extra thread
151 to not block data collection.
152 * snmp plugin: The new `snmp' plugin can read values from SNMP enabled
153 network devices, such as switches, routers, thermometers, rack
154 monitoring servers, etc. The collectd-snmp(5) manpage documents this
156 * unixsock plugin: Added the `LISTVAL' command.
157 * xmms plugin: The new `xmms' plugin graphs the bitrate and frequency
158 of music played with xmms.
160 2007-09-28, Version 4.0.9
161 * apcups plugin: Fix reporting of the `load percent' data.
162 * wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
163 noise quality as percentage.
164 * perl plugin: Fix a possible buffer overflow in get_module_name().
166 2007-09-12, Version 4.0.8
167 * collectd: The `sstrerror' function was improved to work correctly
168 with the broken GNU version of `strerror_r'.
169 * collectd: Write an error message to STDERR when loading of a plugin
171 * apcups plugin: Fix the `types' used to submit the values: They still
172 has an `apcups_' prefix which doesn't work anymore.
173 * rrdtool plugin: Create new RRD-files with the `begin' time set to
174 whatever the client thinks is `now'..
176 2007-08-26, Version 4.0.7
177 * documentation: Some typos have been fixed and some information has
179 * build system: Many fixes for detecting libraries in unusual places,
180 such as on RedHat systems. The affected libraries are `libcurl',
181 `libmysql', and `libupsclient'.
182 * network plugin: Allow the `Port' option to be specified as a number
183 (i. e. without quotes).
184 * nut plugin: A fix allows linking the nut plugin against
185 libupsclient, version >= 2.2.0.
186 * processes plugin: Fix a potential segmentation fault.
188 2007-07-30, Version 4.0.6
189 * sensors plugin: Fix the ignorelist functionality: Only the `type
190 instance' was used to match against the list, but the documentation
191 told otherwise. This release fixes the code, so it complies with the
193 * syslog plugin: Call `openlog' right when the plugin is loaded, so
194 configuration messages will end up in the logging facility.
195 * conrtib/fedora: The contributed specfile for Fedora has been
198 2007-07-05, Version 4.0.5
199 * Portability: More fixes for OpenBSD have been included.
201 2007-06-24, Version 4.0.4
202 * cpu plugin: Fixed the Solaris code.
203 * dns plugin: Fixed a build issue for OpenBSD.
204 * interface plugin: Fixed the Solaris code.
205 * load plugin: Fixed the alternative `/proc' Linux code.

218 they're given in numerically form.
220 2007-06-07, Version 4.0.1
221 * iptables plugin: A bug in the configuration routine has been fixed.
222 Setting a comment in the configfile will no longer cause a
225 2007-06-03, Version 4.0.0
226 * collectd: The plugin-infrastructure has been changed to allow for
227 more types of plugins, namely `write' and `log' plugins.
228 * collectd: The read-function has been changed to read many plugins in
229 parallel, using threads. Thus, plugins generally need to use
230 thread-safe functions from now on.
231 * collectd: The '-t' command line options allows to perform syntax tests
232 of the configuration file and exit immediately.
233 * csv plugin: The new `csv' plugin handles output to `comma separated
235 * rrdtool plugin: The new `rrdtool' plugin handles output to
236 RRD-files. Data can be cached to combine multiple updates into one
237 write to increase IO-performance.
238 * network plugin: The new `network' plugin handles IO via the network.
239 It implements a different, much more extensible protocol which can
240 combine many values in one packet, decreasing the number of UDP-
241 packets being sent. It can read from and send to the network and
242 with the appropriate configuration even forward packets to other
244 * unixsock plugin: The new `unixsock' plugin provides an interface to
245 communicate with the daemon while it is running. Right now the
246 commands `GETVAL' and `PUTVAL' are implemented, but more are to
248 * perl plugin: The new `perl' plugin allows you to write extensions
249 for collectd in the scripting-language Perl.
250 * logfile plugin: The new `logfile' plugin writes logmessages to files
252 * syslog plugin: The new `syslog' plugin sends logmessages to the
253 system's syslog daemon.
254 * entropy plugin: The new `entropy' plugin collects the amount of
255 entropy currently being available to the system.
256 * exec plugin: The new `exec' plugin forks child processes and reads
257 back values provided by the forked processes.
258 * iptables plugin: The new `iptables' plugin reads counters from
259 iptables rules. Thanks to Sjoerd van der Berg for contributing this
261 * irq plugin: The new `irq' plugin collects the IRQ-counters. Thanks
262 to Peter Holik for contributing this plugin.
263 * nut plugin: The new `nut' plugin connects the upsd of the `network
264 ups tools' and reads information about the connected UPS.
265 * apache plugin: Support for lighttpd's `BusyServers' (aka.
266 connections) field was added by Florent Monbillard.
267 * collectd-nagios: The new `collectd-nagios' binary queries values
268 from collectd, parses them and exits according to Nagios-standards.
269 * manpages: The manpages have been improved a lot.
271 2007-09-28, Version 3.11.7
272 * wireless plugin: Correct the handling of cards returning signal and
273 noise quality as percentage.
275 2007-08-31, Version 3.11.6

279 * configure: Added `AC_SYS_LARGEFILE' for LFS.
280 * ntpd plugin: Fix a potential buffer overflow.
281 * processes plugin: Fix a bug when run under Linux 2.4. All processes
282 were accounted as `zombies'.
284 2007-04-10, Version 3.11.4
285 * dns plugin: Change the order of includes to make the plugin compile
288 2007-03-30, Version 3.11.3
289 * configure: Have the configure-script define `HAVE_LIBKSTAT' instead
290 of the unused `COLLECT_KSTAT'.
292 2007-02-11, Version 3.11.2
293 * plugin: Catch NULL-pointer and try to fix them. Otherwise the
294 NULL-pointer may have been passed to `printf' which causes a
295 segfault with some libcs.
297 2007-02-10, Version 3.11.1
298 * df plugin: Some wrong defines have been fixed so the plugin works
300 * dns plugin: The usage of a struct has been fixed to work with
302 * processes plugin: Some missing defines have been added so the plugin
303 compiles cleanly under FreeBSD and presumably other UNIXes.
305 2006-12-22, Version 3.11.0
306 * collectd: The new command line option `-P' makes it easier for
307 distributors to change the location of PID-files.
308 * collectd: The daemon shuts down faster now which makes it easier to
309 write init.d-scripts for it.
310 * apache plugin: Increase the buffersize to 16k, because the 4k buffer
311 caused problems every now and then.
312 * df plugin: New config options allow to ignore certain mountpoints,
313 filesystem types or devices.
314 * dns plugin: The new dns plugin uses `libpcap' to capture DNS traffic
315 and interprets it. It collects traffic as well as qtype, opcode and
317 * email plugin: Sebastian Harl has contributed this plugin which
318 counts received mails in categories (e. g. ham, spam, virus), spam
319 score (as given by SpamAssassin) and check types.
320 * mbmon plugin: Flavio Stanchina has contributed this plugin which
321 uses `mbmon' to gather information from sensors on the motherboard.
322 * processes plugin: Collect detailed statistics for configured
323 processes, that's process and thread count, CPU usage, resident
324 segment size and pagefaults.
325 * multimeter plugin: Peter Holik contributed a new plugin which
327 * sensors plugin: Lubos Stanek has put much effort into improving this
328 plugin, including `extended naming', collection of voltage values
329 and the possibility to ignore certain values.
331 2006-12-21, Version 3.10.4
332 * Max Kellermann has identified a bug in the server routine: When
333 opening a socket fails the daemon will (re)try opening the socket in
334 an endless loop, ultimately leading to a `EMFILE' error.
336 2006-11-04, Version 3.10.3
337 * Lubos Stanek has identified a bug in the ntpd-plugin: When the
338 ntpd's reply was sent in more than one packet, the buffer size was
339 calculated incorrectly, resulting in the reading of uninitialized or
342 2006-11-01, Version 3.10.2
343 * The sample config file has been improved.
344 * Errors in the manpages have been corrected.
345 * The ping-plugin now adds hosts during initialization, not during
346 startup. This speeds up startup when no network connectivity is
347 available. Also, the hosts are being added later when the network is
349 * Improved BSD-support for the df-plugin.
350 * Fixed syntax errors in the swap-plugin for Mac OS X.
351 * Fix a wrong structure being passed to `getnameinfo' in the ntpd-
353 * Don't disable the mysql-plugin if connecting to the database fails
354 during initialization. Instead, try again in increasing intervals.
356 2006-07-19, Version 3.10.1
357 * A bug in the apcups plugin was fixed: Is the plugin is loaded, but
358 the apcups cannot be reached, unconnected sockets will pile up and
359 eventually lead to `Too many open files' errors.
361 2006-07-09, Version 3.10.0
362 * The `disk' plugin has been ported to Darwin.
363 * The `battery' plugin should work on many Apple computers now.
364 * The `traffic' plugin can now ignore certain interfaces. Also,
365 statistics for sent/received packets and errors have been added.
366 * A plugin to monitor APC UPSes using `apcupsd' has been added. Thanks
367 to Anthony Gialluca for contributing this plugin and providing me
368 with a test environment :)
369 * A plugin for monitoring an NTP instance and the local clock drift
372 2006-06-25, Version 3.9.4
373 * The Solaris code in the `swap' plugin has been changed to reflect
374 the numbers returned by `swap -s'. Thanks to Christophe Kalt for
376 * The debugging system has been fixed to work with the Sun libc.
377 * When built without librrd the variable `operating_mode' could be
378 uninitialized. Thanks to David Elliot for reporting the bug.
380 2006-06-01, Version 3.9.3
381 * Fixed the ping-plugin under FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Potentially other
382 operating systems also profit from the changes, but I wasn't able to
384 * Changed the build system to find the netinet-includes under FreeBSD
385 and therefore successfully build the `liboping' library there.
387 2006-05-09, Version 3.9.2
388 * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
389 sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
390 approximately 7.6 days.
392 2006-05-09, Version 3.8.5
393 * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the
394 sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after
395 approximately 7.6 days.
397 2006-04-21, Version 3.9.1
398 * Build issues with Solaris and possible other architectures have been
400 * Problems when building the `apache'-plugin without `libcurl' have
402 * A bug in the `ping' plugin has been fixed. Sorry folks.
404 2006-04-02, Version 3.9.0
405 * A plugin to monitor the Apache webserver has been added.
406 <http://httpd.apache.org/>
407 * A plugin to collect statistics about virtual servers using VServer.
408 <http://linux-vserver.org/> Thanks to Sebastian Harl for writing
410 * A plugin for wireless LAN cards has been added. It monitors signal
411 strength, link quality and noise ratio..
412 * A plugin for Apple hardware sensors has been added.
413 * An option to compile collectd with different `step' and `heartbeat'
414 settings has been added. The size of RRAs is no longer static but
415 calculated based on the settings for `step' and `width'.
416 * The `ping' plugin can now be configured to use a certain TTL.
417 * A plugin to monitor the hardware sensors of Apple computers has been
419 * The plugins `cpu', `memory', `processes' and `traffic' have been
420 ported to Mach/Darwin (Mac OS X).
421 * The `log mode' has been contributed by Christophe Kalt. It writes
422 the data into text files rather than RRD files.
424 2006-04-09, Version 3.8.4
425 * Applied patch by Vincent Stehlé which improves the disk-name
426 resolution in the `hddtemp' plugin for Linux systems.
428 2006-04-02, Version 3.8.3
429 * Applied a patch by James Byers: The MySQL plugin was not working
430 with MySQL 5.0.2 or later.
432 2006-03-14, Version 3.8.2
433 * `utils_mount.c' has been changed to not use the `MNTTAB' defined by
434 the GNU libc, because it points to `/etc/fstab' rather than
437 2006-03-13, Version 3.8.1
438 * Fixes for building collectd under FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Solaris.
439 * Fixes in the debian `postinst' and `init.d' scripts.
441 2006-03-09, Version 3.8.0
442 * The `ping' plugin no longer uses `libping' but a self written
443 library named `liboping'. With this library it's possible to ping
444 multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and hostnames - in parallel.
446 2006-02-18, Version 3.7.2
447 * A simple bug in the `battery' plugin has been fixed. It should now
448 work with ACPI based batteries as well. Thanks to Sebastian for
450 * Fixing a bug that prevented collectd to be built without librrd.
451 Thanks to Werner Heuser for reporting it.
453 2006-02-04, Version 3.7.1
454 * The new network code has been improved to build with older versions
456 * Fix in `libping' sets the ICMP sequence on outgoing packets. Thanks
457 to Tommie Gannert for this patch.
459 2006-01-30, Version 3.7.0
460 * The `battery' plugin has been added. It collects information about
462 * The MySQL plugin has been improved: It now writes two more RRD
463 files, `mysql_qcache.rrd' and `mysql_threads.rrd'.
464 * The `cpufreq' plugin now reads another file since the file it did
465 read so far causes much overhead in the kernel. Also, you need root
466 to read the old file, but not to read the new one.
467 * The `hddtemp' plugin can now be configured to connect to another
468 address and/or port than localhost.
469 * The `df' plugin now prefers `statvfs' over `statfs'.
470 * The network code has been rewritten. collectd now supports unicast
471 and multicast, and IPv4 and IPv6. Also, the TTL of sent packages can
472 be set in the configfile.
474 2006-01-24, Version 3.6.2
475 * Due to a bug in the configfile handling collectd wouldn't start in
476 client mode. This released fixes this.
478 2006-01-20, Version 3.6.1
479 * Due to a bug in `configure.in' all modules and the binary were
480 linked against `libmysqlclient'. This issue is solved by this
483 2006-01-17, Version 3.6.0
484 * A config file has been added. This allows for loading only specific
486 * A `df' plugin has been added.
487 * A `mysql' plugin has been added.
488 * The `ping' plugin doesn't entirely give up hope when a socket error
489 occurred, but will back of and increase the intervals between tries.
491 2006-01-21, Version 3.5.2
492 * Fixed yet another bug in the signal handling.. Stupid typo..
493 * Improved the ping plugin to not give up on socket errors (backport
496 2005-12-18, Version 3.5.1
497 * The PID-file is now deleted correctly when shutting down the daemon.
498 * SIGINT and SIGTERM are now handled correctly.
500 2005-12-16, Version 3.5.0 (Revision 326)
501 * A bug in the `load' module under Solaris has been fixed.
502 * The `users' module has been contributed by Sebastian Harl. It counts
503 currently logged in users.
504 * The CPU module now works under FreeBSD without the use of
505 `libstatgrab', however SMP support is missing.
506 * The default directories for the RRD files and the PID file now
507 depend on the compile time setting of `localstatedir'.
509 2005-11-15, Version 3.4.0 (Revision 236)
510 * A PID-file is written to /var/run upon startup. Thanks to `Tommie'
511 from gentoo's bugzilla for writing the patch.
512 * The build dependency for librrd has been removed. Binaries built
513 without librrd are client-only and will multicast their value as
514 with the `-c' argument.
515 * A patch by Peter Holik adds a module for monitoring CPU frequencies.
516 * The newly introduced `-f' switch prevents daemon initialization
517 (forking, closing standard filehandles, etc.) Thanks to Alvaro
518 Barcellos for this patch.
520 2005-11-04, Version 3.3.0 (Revision 216)
521 * New modules have been added:
522 - `serial', for monitoring traffic on the serial interfaces
523 - `nfs', for graphing NFS procedure calls
524 - `tape', traffic from/to tape devices
525 * The memory.rrd now accepts more than 4Gig of memory.
527 2005-10-26, Version 3.2.0 (Revision 200)
528 * Support for graphing the processes has been added (thanks to Lyonel
530 * If reading from hddtemp fails collectd will increase the time
531 between polls up to one day.
532 * The init.d files have been improved.
533 * Problems with the spec file have been fixed.
535 2005-10-16, Version 3.1.0 (Revision 194)
536 * Added the `setsid' syscall to the startup code.
537 * Support for hddtemp has been added (thanks to Vincent Stehlé)
539 2005-09-30, Version 3.0.0 (Revision 184)
540 * The ability to send/receive data to/from the network (think
541 multicast) has been added.
542 * Modules have been split up into shared libraries can be loaded at
543 runtime. The biggest advantage is that the core program doesn't need
544 to be linked against an external library.
545 * A patch by George Kargiotakis has been applied: It fixes the sensors
546 behaviour then more than one sensor is being queried.
548 2005-09-16, Version 2.1.0 (Revision 172)
549 * A module for swap statistics has been added.
551 2005-09-09, Version 2.0.0 (Revision 135)
552 * Filenames can no longer be configured at program startup. The only
553 options as of this version are the directory and ping hosts.
554 * CPU statistics now include Wait-IO. If provided under Linux IRQ and
555 Soft-IRQ statistics are added to `System'.
556 * Diskstats now collect read and write bytes, not sectors.
557 * Ping statistics can now be collected for more than one host. There
558 is no default any more: If no host is given no host will be pinged.
559 * A self-written patch for libping has been applied so it builds
562 2005-09-01, Version 1.8.1 (Revision 123)
563 * Much improved configure-script: libraries and features may now be
565 * More detailed warnings/error messages when RRD update fails.
567 2005-08-29, Version 1.8.0:
568 * Support for collecting disk statistics under Solaris.
570 2005-08-25, Version 1.7.0:
571 * Support for libstatgrab[1] for load, memory usage and network
572 traffic. CPU- and disk-usage are not (yet) supported, since
573 libstatgrab returns insufficient information. I will contact the
575 * Improved the CPU-initialization code for Solaris. Apparently CPUs
576 aren't necessarily counted linear which is now handled correctly.
577 [1]: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/
579 2005-08-21, Version 1.6.0:
580 * Basic support for Solaris: System load and cpu-usage can be
581 collected under Solaris, too. Other stats will follow later.
582 * Many fixes in the autoconf-script
583 * Collection/Museum scripts have been added under contrib/museum
584 * collectd may now be started in unprivileged mode, though ping
585 statistics will not work.
587 2005-07-17, Version 1.5.1:
588 * Diskstats-RRDs now use major/minor for naming. Some systems have
589 weird strings as disk-names..
591 2005-07-17, Version 1.5:
592 * A new module, diskstats, has been added. It collects information
593 about the disks and partitions.
595 2005-07-11, Version 1.4.2:
596 * The meminfo module has been changed to work with more platforms
597 and/or kernel versions.
599 2005-07-10, Version 1.4.1: Correct traffic stats
600 * The traffic rrd-file is now created with DS-type `COUNTER' which I
601 forgot to correct when I changed that module.
603 2005-07-09, Version 1.4: More traffic stats
604 * Traffic is now collected for all interfaces that can be found
605 * Temperature-statistics are read from lm-sensors if available
607 2005-07-08, Version 1.3: CPU stats
608 * Collecting CPU statistics now
610 2004-07-12, Version 1.2: Using syslog
611 * collectd is now using the syslog facility to report errors, warnings
613 * The default directory is now /var/db/collectd
615 2004-07-10, Version 1.1: Minor changes
616 * Nothing really useful to say ;)
618 2004-07-09, Version 1.0: Initial Version
619 * The following modules are provided:
