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