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. + * 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 a special + executable type for Nagios plugins has been implemented. Also, the + ability to pass arguments to the executed programs has been added. + * 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. + +2008-01-21, 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 + Evgeny Chukreev for fixing this issue. + * collectd: The documentation has been improved. + +2007-12-28, Version 4.2.3 + * sensors plugin: Updated the plugin to build and work with version 3 + of the libsensors library. + +2007-12-15, Version 4.2.2 + * nginx plugin: Incorrect comparison of strings lead to a segfault + when using the plugin. 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. + * snmp plugin: Fix a memory leak. + +2007-10-27, Version 4.2.0 + * collectd: The new config option `Include' lets you include other + configfiles and thus split up your config into smaller parts. 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. + 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.
