RRDtool Changelog

What's new in RRDtool 1.4.3

• New Features
• rrdcached: Log to stderr (in addition to syslog) when running in foreground.
• -- Sebastian Harl
• rrdcached: Added -m command line option. This option may be used to specify the file permissions of a UNIX socket. The option affects the following
• sockets only, i.e., it's possible to specify different modes for different
• sockets. -- Sebastian Harl
• rrdcached: Added -s option so set group permissions of the UNIX domain
• socket. Obviously this will only work if rrdcached is running as root which in
• my case it has to be (as upstart can't currently monitor non-root
• daemons). As you may have RRD data sources (data loggers) and RRD
• consumers (e.g. CGI scripts) that both need to talk to the cache
• daemon one solution is to set the group permissions of the socket.
• This offer some flexibility over trying to get every RRD user/daemon
• running under the same user context. -- Alex Bennee ajb pitcairn.cambridgebroadband.com
• rrdcached: Let -s affect the following sockets only. This way, it's possible
• to specify different groups for different sockets. -- Sebastian Harl
• rrd_create: added --no-overwrite option. It prevents rrdtool from
• clobbering existing rrd files. -- Chris - LINX
• ruby bindings: rb_rrd_xport function -- Pavel Pachkovskij pavel.pachkovskij azati.com
• use locale settings and _NL_TIME_WEEK_1STDAY to determine the first
• day of the week. Works on Linux at least -- Tobi Oetiker
• rrd_graph: \u to backup one line for special legend placement tricks
• -- tobi oetiker
• rrd_update: new (better) checker for incoming COUNTER or DERIVED data. -- Florian
