Notifications + are status messages that may be associated with a data instance. + * collectd: Threshold checking has been added to the daemon. This + means that you can configure threshold values for each data + instance. If this threshold is exceeded a notification will be + created. + * collectd: The new `FQDNLookup' option tells the daemon to use the + full qualified domain name as the hostname, not just the host part + es returned by `gethostname(2)'. + * collectd: Support for more than one `TypesDB' file has been added. + This is useful when one such file is included in a package but one + wants to add custom type definitions. + * collectd: The `Include' config option has been expanded to handle + entire directories and shell wildcards. + * collectdmon: The new `collectdmon' binary detects when collectd + terminates and automatically restarts it again. + * csv plugin: The CSV plugin is now able to store counter values as a + rate, using the `StoreRates' configuration option. + * exec plugin: Handling of notifications has been added and the + ability to pass arguments to the executed programs has been added. + * hddtemp plugin: The new `TranslateDevicename' option lets you + disable the translation from device names to major-minor-numbers. + * logfile plugin: Handling of notifications has been added. + * ntpd plugin: The new `ReverseLookups' can be used to disable reverse + domain name lookups in this plugin. + * perl plugin: Many internal changes added support for handling multiple + threads making the plugin reasonably usable inside collectd. The API has + been extended to support notifications and export global variables to + Perl plugins; callbacks now have to be identified by name rather than a + pointer to a subroutine. The plugin is no longer experimental. + * uuid plugin: The new UUID plugin sets the hostname to an unique + identifier for this host. This is meant for setups where each client + may migrate to another physical host, possibly going through one or + more name changes in the process. Thanks to Richard Jones from + Red Hat's Emerging Technology group for this plugin. + * libvirt: The new libvirt plugin uses the `libvirt' library to query + CPU, disk and network statistics about guest systems on the same + physical server. Thanks to Richard Jones from Red Hat's Emerging + Technology group for this plugin. + +2008-03-04, Version 4.2.5 + * apache plugin: Improved initialization and error messages. + * exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs. + * network plugin: + + Create separate threads for reading from the socket and parsing + and dispatching incoming packets. Versions prior to this may have + problems in high-load situations, where the socket receive buffers + overflows, resulting in gaps in the data. + + Use `memcpy' when constructing/parsing a package to avoid + alignment problems on weird architectures, such as Sparc. + + Translate doubles to/from the x86 byte representation to ensure + cross-platform compatibility. + * ping plugin: Correct the handling of the `TTL' setting. + * rrdtool plugin: Ensure correct handling of the `RRATimespan' option. + * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris. + * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements. + +2008-01-21, Version 4.2.4 + * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set + the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage.

Thanks to Saulius Grigaliunas for fixing + this. + * logfile plugin: The config option `Timestamp' was handled + incorrectly and basically always active. Thanks to Luke Heberling + for fixing this. + 2007-11-08, Version 4.2.1 * tcpconns plugin: Don't complain about a missing file if IPv6 is not enabled on the host. @@ -30,6 +106,18 @@ to see how many connections your FTP server has to handle or how many outgoing connections your mailserver has open. +2008-01-11, Version 4.1.6 + * unixsock plugin: A bug in the unixsock plugin caused it not to set + the permission on the socket as documented in the manpage.
