Thanks + to kyrone for reporting this. + * collectd: Fixed min/max output in notifications generated by + threshold checking. + * collectd-nagios: Fix the protocol used to communicate with the + daemon. + * perl plugin: Fail noisily, but don't shutdown the daemon, if + initialization has errors. An issue with Perl 5.10 has been fixed. + * teamspeak2 plugin: Fixed an out of bounce array access. Thanks to + René Rebe and Siegmund Gorr for reporting this. + +2008-05-06, Version 4.4.0 + * collectd: Internal code cleanups. + * collectd: Added support for a `Flush' command in the unixsock and + exec plugins. This command can be used to force a plugin (or all) to + flush its values to disk. + * collectd: Thresholds can now be configured to apply to one data + source only, making it possible to configure different thresholds + for each data source. + * apache, nginx plugins: Added the possibility to disable host and/or + peer verification. + * ascent plugin: The new ascent plugin reads and parses the statistics + page of an Ascent server. + * cpu plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added. + * disk plugin: The possibility to ignore certain disks or collect only + specific disks has been added. + * disk plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added. + * ipmi plugin: The new ipmi plugin uses the OpenIPMI library to read + sensor values via IPMI, the intelligent platform management + interface. + * iptables plugin: The iptc library that is used by the iptables + plugin has been added to the distribution, because it is not + provided by all distributions and removed from at least one. + * powerdns plugin: The new powerdns plugin reads statistics from an + authoritative or a recursing PowerDNS name server. + * rrdtool plugin: The size of the files generated with the default + configuration has been decreased. + * tail plugin: The new tail plugin can be used to gather statistics by + continuously reading from log files. + * teamspeak2 plugin: The new teamspeak2 plugin connects to a + TeamSpeak2 server and collects statistics about the number of users + and number of channels. + * users plugin: Support for the statgrab library has been added. + * vmem plugin: The new vmem plugin collects very detailed statistics + about the virtual memory subsystem of Linux. + +2008-04-22, Version 4.3.3 + * build system: Improved detection of several libraries, especially if + they are in non-standard paths. + * build system: Portability fixes: Automatically define "_REENTRANT" + if the libc expects it. + * collectd: Error and warning messages have been improved. + * collectd: Check for the BYTE_ORDER and BIG_ENDIAN defines before + using them. + * apache plugin: Allocate new memory when reading a webpage instead of + using a buffer of static size. + * exec plugin: Close (almost) all filedescriptors before exec(2)ing + the program. + * hddtemp plugin: Error and warning messages have been improved. + * sensors plugin: Fix sensor collection for some chip types. + +2008-03-29, Version 4.3.2 + * collectd: Fix configuration of the `FailureMax', `WarningMax', and + `Persist' threshold options. + * collectd: Fix handling of missing values in the global value cache. + * collectd: Improved error messages when parsing the configuration. + * sensors plugin: Fix temperature collection with libsensors4. + * unixsock plugin: Fix mixed input and output operation on streams. + * wireless plugin: Fix reading noise value. + +2008-03-05, Version 4.3.1 + * exec plugin: Set supplementary group IDs. + * network plugin: + + 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. + * swap plugin: Reapply a patch for Solaris. + * tcpconns plugin: Portability improvements. + +2008-02-18, Version 4.3.0 + * collectd: Notifications have been added to the daemon. 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.
