Hello everybody,
I've packaged a new feature release for collectd, version 5.2.0.
Starting with this release, it is possible to set a separate
collection
interval for each and every read plugin. For example, you might want
to query
the CPU plugin every 10 seconds, the Load plugin every minute and
the DF plugin
every hour. Huge thanks to Sebastian Harl who put a lot of effort
into this!
Also new in this release are the aggregation plugin, a plugin for
calculating
averages, sums, … over sets of values, the PF plugin which collects
statistics
from BSD's packet filter and collectd-tg, a network traffic
generator that can
be used for load testing.
