Thus, plugins generally need to use + thread-safe functions from now on. + * collectd: The '-t' command line options allows to perform syntax tests + of the configuration file and exit immediately. + * csv plugin: The new `csv' plugin handles output to `comma separated + values'-files. + * rrdtool plugin: The new `rrdtool' plugin handles output to + RRD-files. Data can be cached to combine multiple updates into one + write to increase IO-performance. + * network plugin: The new `network' plugin handles IO via the network. + It implements a different, much more extensible protocol which can + combine many values in one packet, decreasing the number of UDP- + packets being sent. It can read from and send to the network and + with the appropriate configuration even forward packets to other + networks. + * unixsock plugin: The new `unixsock' plugin provides an interface to + communicate with the daemon while it is running. Right now the + commands `GETVAL' and `PUTVAL' are implemented, but more are to + come. + * perl plugin: The new `perl' plugin allows you to write extensions + for collectd in the scripting-language Perl. + * logfile plugin: The new `logfile' plugin writes logmessages to files + or STDOUT or STDERR. + * syslog plugin: The new `syslog' plugin sends logmessages to the + system's syslog daemon. + * entropy plugin: The new `entropy' plugin collects the amount of + entropy currently being available to the system. + * exec plugin: The new `exec' plugin forks child processes and reads + back values provided by the forked processes. + * iptables plugin: The new `iptables' plugin reads counters from + iptables rules. Thanks to Sjoerd van der Berg for contributing this + plugin. + * irq plugin: The new `irq' plugin collects the IRQ-counters. Thanks + to Peter Holik for contributing this plugin. + * nut plugin: The new `nut' plugin connects the upsd of the `network + ups tools' and reads information about the connected UPS. + * apache plugin: Support for lighttpd's `BusyServers' (aka. + connections) field was added by Florent Monbillard. + * collectd-nagios: The new `collectd-nagios' binary queries values + from collectd, parses them and exits according to Nagios-standards. + * manpages: The manpages have been improved a lot. + +2007-05-29, Version 3.11.5 + * configure: Added `AC_SYS_LARGEFILE' for LFS. + * ntpd plugin: Fix a potential buffer overflow. + * processes plugin: Fix a bug when run under Linux 2.4. All processes + were accounted as `zombies'. + +2007-04-10, Version 3.11.4 + * dns plugin: Change the order of includes to make the plugin compile + under FreeBSD. + +2007-03-30, Version 3.11.3 + * configure: Have the configure-script define `HAVE_LIBKSTAT' instead + of the unused `COLLECT_KSTAT'. + +2007-02-11, Version 3.11.2 + * plugin: Catch NULL-pointer and try to fix them. Otherwise the + NULL-pointer may have been passed to `printf' which causes a + segfault with some libcs. + +2007-02-10, Version 3.11.1 + * df plugin: Some wrong defines have been fixed so the plugin works + under Solaris again. + * dns plugin: The usage of a struct has been fixed to work with + non-GNU libcs. + * processes plugin: Some missing defines have been added so the plugin + compiles cleanly under FreeBSD and presumably other UNIXes. + +2006-12-22, Version 3.11.0 + * collectd: The new command line option `-P' makes it easier for + distributors to change the location of PID-files. + * collectd: The daemon shuts down faster now which makes it easier to + write init.d-scripts for it. + * apache plugin: Increase the buffersize to 16k, because the 4k buffer + caused problems every now and then. + * df plugin: New config options allow to ignore certain mountpoints, + filesystem types or devices. + * dns plugin: The new dns plugin uses `libpcap' to capture DNS traffic + and interprets it. It collects traffic as well as qtype, opcode and + rcode counts. + * email plugin: Sebastian Harl has contributed this plugin which + counts received mails in categories (e. g. ham, spam, virus), spam + score (as given by SpamAssassin) and check types. + * mbmon plugin: Flavio Stanchina has contributed this plugin which + uses `mbmon' to gather information from sensors on the motherboard. + * processes plugin: Collect detailed statistics for configured + processes, that's process and thread count, CPU usage, resident + segment size and pagefaults. + * multimeter plugin: Peter Holik contributed a new plugin which + queries multimeters. + * sensors plugin: Lubos Stanek has put much effort into improving this + plugin, including `extended naming', collection of voltage values + and the possibility to ignore certain values. + +2006-12-21, Version 3.10.4 + * Max Kellermann has identified a bug in the server routine: When + opening a socket fails the daemon will (re)try opening the socket in + an endless loop, ultimately leading to a `EMFILE' error. + +2006-11-04, Version 3.10.3 + * Lubos Stanek has identified a bug in the ntpd-plugin: When the + ntpd's reply was sent in more than one packet, the buffer size was + calculated incorrectly, resulting in the reading of uninitialized or + freed memory. + +2006-11-01, Version 3.10.2 + * The sample config file has been improved. + * Errors in the manpages have been corrected. + * The ping-plugin now adds hosts during initialization, not during + startup. This speeds up starup when no network connectivity is + available. Also, the hosts are being added later when the network is + available. + * Improved BSD-support for the df-plugin. + * Fixed syntax errors in the swap-plugin for Mac OS X. + * Fix a wrong structure being passed to `getnameinfo' in the ntpd- + plugin. + * Don't disable the mysql-plugin if connecting to the database fails + during initialization. Instead, try again in increasing intervals. + +2006-07-19, Version 3.10.1 + * A bug in the apcups plugin was fixed: Is the plugin is loaded, but + the apcups cannot be reached, unconnected sockets will pile up and + eventually lead to `Too many open files' errors. + +2006-07-09, Version 3.10.0 + * The `disk' plugin has been ported to Darwin. + * The `battery' plugin should work on many Apple computers now. + * The `traffic' plugin can now ignore certain interfaces. Also, + statistics for sent/received packets and errors have been added. + * A plugin to monitor APC UPSes using `apcupsd' has been added. Thanks + to Anthony Gialluca for contributing this plugin and providing me + with a test environment :) + * A plugin for moniroting an NTP instance and the local clock drift + has been added. + +2006-06-25, Version 3.9.4 + * The Solaris code in the `swap' plugin has been changed to reflect + the numbers returned by `swap -s'. Thanks to Christophe Kalt for + working this out. + * The debugging system has been fixed to work with the Sun libc. + * When built without librrd the variable `operating_mode' could be + uninitialized. Thanks to David Elliot for reporting the bug. + +2006-06-01, Version 3.9.3 + * Fixed the ping-plugin under FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Potentially other + operating systems also profit from the changes, but I wasn't able to + check that. + * Changed the build system to find the netinet-includes under FreeBSD + and therefore successfully build the `liboping' library there. + +2006-05-09, Version 3.9.2 + * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the + sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after + approximately 7.6 days. + +2006-05-09, Version 3.8.5 + * Applied a patch to the `liboping' library. Due to a bug in the + sequence checking the `ping' plugin stopped working after + approximately 7.6 days. + +2006-04-21, Version 3.9.1 + * Build issues with Solaris and possible other architectures have been + resolved. + * Problems when building the `apache'-plugin without `libcurl' have + been resolved. + * A bug in the `ping' plugin has been fixed. Sorry folks. + +2006-04-02, Version 3.9.0 + * A plugin to monitor the Apache webserver has been added. + + * A plugin to collect statistics about virtual servers using VServer. + Thanks to Sebastian Harl for writing + this plugin :) + * A plugin for wireless LAN cards has been added. It monitors signal + strength, link quality and noise ratio.. + * A plugin for Apple hardware sensors has been added. + * An option to compile collectd with different `step' and `hearbeat' + settings has been added. The size of RRAs is no longer static but + calculated based on the settings for `step' and `width'. + * The `ping' plugin can now be configured to use a certain TTL. + * A plugin to monitor the hardware sensors of Apple computers has been + added. + * The plugins `cpu', `memory', `processes' and `traffic' have been + ported to Mach/Darwin (Mac OS X). + * The `log mode' has been contributed by Christophe Kalt. It writes + the data into text files rather than RRD files. + +2006-04-09, Version 3.8.4 + * Applied patch by Vincent Stehlé which improves the disk-name + resolution in the `hddtemp' plugin for Linux systems. + 2006-04-02, Version 3.8.3 - * Applied a patch by XXX: The MySQL plugin was not working with MySQL - 5.0.2 or later. + * Applied a patch by James Byers: The MySQL plugin was not working + with MySQL 5.0.2 or later. 2006-03-14, Version 3.8.2 * `utils_mount.c' has been changed to not use the `MNTTAB' defined by
