Hello everybody, after a very long development cycle, I'm extremely happy to announce the availability of version 5.5.0. This release is *packed* with new features. So much so, that I'm only going to include a summary in this email. The full list of changes is available in the wiki [0].
New plugins allow collectd to read metrics from Ceph and DRBD (both distributed file systems), OpenLDAP and Apache Zookeeper. On the hardware side, there are new plugins for reading barometers, SMART data from hard drives and C-states (idle states) from Intel CPUs. From the operating system we now get information on file handles and shared memory. Integration with other systems has also been improved, there are new plugins to write collectd metrics to Apache Kafka, a distributed message queue, Sensu, a popular monitoring solution, and OpenTSDB, a distributed timeseries database. Of course, many existing plugins have been extended, too. For example, CPU usage can finally be reported as a percentage, rather than jiffies. This was one of our most-requested features.
