This + may be especially interesting for the snmp plugin to keep the data + definitions separate from the host definitions. + * ipvs plugin: The new `ipvs' plugin collects IPVS connection statistics + (number of connections, octets and packets for each service and + destination). Thanks to Sebastian Harl for this plugin. + * memcached plugin: The new `memcached' plugin connects to a memcached + daemon process and collects statistics of this distributed caching + system. Thanks to Antony Dovgal for contributing this plugin. + * nginx plugin: The new `nginx' plugin reads the status page of an + nginx daemon and saves the handled connections and requests. + * perl plugin: Many changes, including the added `EnableDebugger' + config option which lets you debug your Perl plugins more easily. + * rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available. Try to + be more thread-safe otherwise by locking calls to the library. + * snmp plugin: Added the options `Scale' and `Shift' to Data-blocks to + correct the values returned by SNMP-agents. If a block is + defined as `table' the instance is now optional. The sequence number + is used as the type-instance in this case. The new `InstancePrefix' + option allows to add arbitrary prefixes to the type-instance. + * tcpconns plugin: The new `tcpconns' plugin collects the number of + certain TCP connections and what state they're in. This can be used + to see how many connections your FTP server has to handle or how + many outgoing connections your mailserver has open. + +2007-11-08, Version 4.1.4 + * Build system: Improve detection of the rrd library, especially if + it's in a non-standard location. + * Build system: A bug when parsing the argument for + `--with-libnetsnmp' has been fixed. + * collectd: Implement `strerror_r' if the libc doesn't provide it. + * rrdtool plugin: Fix a bug in the shutdown sequence that might cause + a deadlock or delay when shutting down the daemon. + * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak. + +2007-10-24, Version 4.1.3 + * collectd: A build issue under Solaris has been resolved by renaming + data types. + * rrdtool plugin: Use the thread-safe RRD-library if available.
