Hello everybody, as promised earlier this week, I have packaged and uploaded version 5.3.0. This feature release includes a couple of new features, most importantly the eagerly awaited "write_riemann" plugin, which allows you to send data to Riemann, an open-source stream aggregation and monitoring system.
The NetApp plugin can now report a bunch of new metrics. Support for POST requests has been added to the cURL* plugins, which allows to send SOAP requests, for example. A thread-pool for write threads and the new "CreateFilesAsync" option in the RRDtool and RRDCacheD plugins improves throughput on large scale servers. Other changes are listed in the ChangeLog below. This release marks the "end of live" of the 5.1 branch. New bugfixes will be applied to 5.2 and 5.3. Download -------- The new version is available in source-code form from collectd's download page.
