Monitorix 2.6.0 has been released!
This version introduces several new major features. The first one refers
to a new graph to monitor an unlimited number of BIND name servers,
which includes a complete and overall state of a BIND server. Its seven
nested graphs cover the most important and relevant status information
which should help System Administrators to monitor it easily. This has
introduced the new Perl-XML-Simple dependency.
This graph requires a BIND server with version 9.5 or higher, and in
order to see all statistics provided by BIND you must configure the
statistics-channels like this:
statistics-channels {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 8053;
};
Another important major feature includes a complete rewriting of the
Filesystem Usage and I/O Activity graph adding support to monitor
unlimited filesystems. This graph includes now the disk I/O activity of
each filesystem defined.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The configuration of the Filesystem graph has changed
and this will create a new fs.rrd file losing all the historical data.
Also, it includes a complete rewriting of the Disk Drive Temperatures
and Health graph, which adds support to monitor unlimited disk drives.
Other graphs have also experienced some cosmetic changes, such like
incrementing the thickness of the lines in some graphs with very few
lines, fixing some typos, etc.
Another new major feature introduces support for NetBSD systems with
almost the same level of accomplishment that Monitorix already has on
OpenBSD systems. There are still some graphs with minimal or inexistent
support though.
Finally but not least, it has been added support for grouping remote
servers in the Multihost view. This should be specially useful on
environments monitoring large number of remote servers.
The rest of changes and bugs fixed are, as always, reflected in the
Changes file.
Please, check the monitorix.conf(5) man page for all the details.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The configuration file monitorix.conf has been
extended with important changes.
