Changes

Release 4.4.0

Released on Tuesday, May 06, 2008.

  • 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.

Release 4.4.1

Released on Tuesday, June 03, 2008.

  • collectd: Fix the DataSource option within Type blocks. 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 bound array access. Thanks to René Rebe and Siegmund Gorr for reporting this.

Release 4.4.2

Released on Tuesday, July 15, 2008.

  • build system: Use pkg-config to detect the upsclient library.
  • collectd: Try even harder to determine the endianess of the architecture collectd is being built on.
  • Disk plugin: Fix for Linux 2.4: A wrong field was used as the name of disks.
  • DNS plugin: Fix compilation errors with BIND versions 19991001 through 19991005.
  • Network plugin: Bugfix in the init routine: The init function cleared a buffer regardless of its contents. This could lead to lost values under Solaris.
  • nginx plugin: Remove usage of the thread-unsafe strtok function.
  • VServer plugin: Remove usage of the thread-unsafe readdir function.
  • Wireless plugin: Work around incorrect noise and power values returned by some broken drivers.

Release 4.4.3

Released on Monday, September 01, 2008.

  • collectd: Fix a memory leak in the threshold checking code.
  • memcached plugin: Fix a too short timeout and a related file descriptor leak.
  • Memory plugin: A typo in the libstatgrab code has been fixed.
  • SNMP plugin: Fix a possible memory leak.

Release 4.4.4

Released on Thursday, October 16, 2008.

  • build system: Change `--enable-' to abort with an error if dependencies are not met. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for the patch. Also, the poisoning of various string functions has been restricted to debug builds.
  • collectd: Fix a memory leak in the global value cache. With every *missing* value a couple of bytes would be leaked. Another memory leak in the configuration handling code has been fixed. Thanks to Niraj Tolia for reporting these issues.
  • collectd: Fix an off-by-one error in the ignorelist functionality. When using regular expressions, the last character would be missing, possibly matching differently from what one would expect.
  • collectdmon: Don't block SIGCHLD. This fixes a potential portability problem.
  • collectd-nagios: Fix handling of the `-d' option. Thanks to Fabian Linzberger for reporting the bug.
  • Network plugin: Fix a memory leak in the configuration handling code. Thanks to Niraj Tolia for reporting this issue.
  • Perl plugin: Log an error message if bootstrapping Collectd fails.
  • Tail plugin: Call `clearerr(3)' after reading an EOF. This fixes problems with some libcs. Thanks to Matthias Lay for reporting the bug.

Release 4.4.5

Released on Friday, January 02, 2009.

  • build system: Check for `mysql.h' and `mysql/mysql.h', since the file may be in both locations, especially when the database was installed in a non-standard path. Thanks to Dusty Doris for reporting this.
  • build system: Handle the _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS defined, needed by Solaris, in the configure script automatically.
  • collectd.conf(5): Various fixes and clarifications.
  • APC UPS plugin: Include "collectd.h" before <stdlib.h>. This solves portability problems, especially for Solaris.
  • DNS plugin: Fix a portability problem with NetBSD.
  • Network plugin: Fix the handling of type in the network protocol. Due to a programming mistake, only 4 or 8 bytes would be copied to a much larger buffer. This caused the type to be transferred much more often than necessary. In some cases, e. g. the cpu and cpufreq plugins being used at the same time, data may be corrupted in those files. Thanks to Bruno Prémont for debugging and reporting this issue.
  • UnixSock plugin: Make sure the initialization function is run only once. This resolves a file descriptor leak under systems which run the initialization more than once, such as Solaris.
