Changes

Release 4.3.0

Released on Monday, February 18, 2008.

  • 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 plugin: 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.
