Package: collectd
Version: 3.10.4-1+b3
Severity: important
Hi,
some of collectd's plugins, most notably ntp, attempt to perform a
reverse lookup on some hosts, and use the result as the file name.
This has several disadvantages:
- if the nameserver is unavailable, collectd blocks and stops recording
data
- if the lookup fails, the IP address is used instead, thus a new file
is created, and data diverted there
- it creates unnecessary network traffic
- if a rogue nameserver gave back a different response each time,
collectd would create a new rrd file every ten seconds, quickly
filling up the harddisk

Source: collectd
Binary: collectd collectd-dbg collectd-dev

Version: 4.3.0-1

Urgency: low

Description:
collectd - statistics collection and monitoring daemon
collectd-dbg - statistics collection and monitoring daemon (debugging symbols)
collectd-dev - statistics collection and monitoring daemon (development files)
Closes: 455162
Changes:
collectd (4.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
- Added basic support for monitoring by introducing notifications and
threshold checking.
- Reverse lookups can be disabled using the "ReverseLookups" option of the
ntpd plugin (Closes: #455162).
New plugins:
- Set the hostname to an unique identifier: uuid
- CPU, dist, network statistics of guest systems: libvirt
* Upload to unstable: With the latest changes to the perl plugin, all parts
of collectd are suitable for a release.
* Added libvirt-dev, libxml2-dev and libhal-dev to the build dependencies.
* Updated package description to mention the monitoring support.
* Install liboping/oping.h to collectd-dev as well.
* collectd.init.d: Optionally start collectdmon to monitor collectd. This
can be configured using the USE_COLLECTDMON variable - enabled by default.
* collectd.init.d: Added ENABLE_COREFILES option - if enabled the core file
limit will be set to unlimited - disabled by default.
* Compile collectd with -DLT_LAZY_OR_NOW='RTLD_LAZY|RTLD_GLOBAL' to force
lt_dlopen() to use the RTLD_GLOBAL flag which is required by the perl
plugin (which would otherwise be unable to find symbols defined in libperl
when loading perl modules that require such symbols).
* Disable debugging support.
* watch file: Added uversionmangle for "beta" and "-rc".
* Override "spelling-error-in-description" for the mysql plugin name - all
plugins are spelled lowercase.
