- Update to 1.31.0 (go.d.plugin 0.29.0)
The v1.31.0 release of Netdata comes with re-packaged and
redesigned elements of the dashboard to help you focus on your
metrics, even more Linux kernel insights via eBPF, on-node machine
learning to help you find anomalies, and much more.
This release contains 10 new collectors, 54 improvements (7 in the
dashboard), 31 documentation updates, and 29 bug fixes.
At a glance
We re-packaged and redesigned portions of the dashboard to improve
the overall experience. Part of this effort is better handling of
dashboard code during installation—anyone using third-party
packages (such as the Netdata Homebrew formula) will start seeing
new features and the new designs starting today. The timeframe
picker has moved to the top panel, and just to its right are two
counters with live CRITICAL and WARNING alarm statuses for your
node. Click on either of these two open the alarms modal.
We've also pushed a number of powerful new collectors, including
directory cache monitoring via eBPF. By monitoring directory cache,
developers and SREs alike can find opportunities to optimize memory
usage and reduce disk-intensive operations.
Our new Z-scores and changefinder collectors use machine learning
to let you know, at a glance, when key metrics start to behave
oddly. We'd love to get feedback on these sophisticated, subjective
new brand of collectors!

- Update to 1.30.0 (go.d.plugin 0.28.1)
The v1.30.0 release of Netdata completely replaces Google
Analytics/GTM for product telemetry (disabled by default in
openSUSE). We're also releasing the first changes in an upcoming
overhaul to both our dashboard UI/UX and the suite of preconfigured
alarms that comes with every installation.
v1.30.0 contains 3 new collectors, 3 enhancements to notifications
method, 38 improvements (13 in the dashboard), 16 documentation
updates, and 17 bug fixes.
At a glance
The ACLK-NG is a much faster method of securely connecting a node
to Netdata Cloud. In addition, there are no external dependencies
to our custom libmosquitto and libwebsockets libraries, which means
there's no more need to build these during installation.
We replaced Google Analytics/GTM, which we used for collecting
product telemetry, with a self-hosted instance of the open-source
PostHog project. When sending statistics to PostHog, any fields
that might contain identifiable information, such as an IP address
or URL, are hardcoded. If you previously opted-out of anonymous
statistics, this migration does not change your existing settings.
Improvements
* Add check for children connecting to a parent agent with an
unsupported memory mode.
* Add lock check to avoid shutdown when compiled with internal
and locking checks.
* Update chart's metadata in database when it already exists
during creation.

* Add support for changing the number of pages per database
engine extent.
* Add the ability to store chart labels in the database.
* Enable metadata persistence in all memory modes.
* Increase curl connect-timeout and decrease number of claim
attempts.
* Increase the ACLK exponential backoff randomness.
* Log ACLK Cloud commands to access.log.
* Remove an unused function warning in legacy version of the
ACLK.

- Changes in 1.29.1
Release v1.29.1 is a hotfix release to address a crash in the
Netdata Agent.
A locking bug in one of the internal collectors in Netdata could
cause it to crash during shutdown in a way that would result in the
Netdata Agent taking an excessively long time to exit.
Bug fixes
* Fix crash during shutdown of cgroups internal plugin.
* Wed Feb 03 2021 Mia Herkt <mia@0x0.st>
- Update to 1.29.0 (go.d.plugin 0.27.0)
The v1.29.0 release of the Netdata Agent is a maintenance release
that brings incremental but necessary improvements that make your
monitoring experience more robust. We've pushed improvements and
bug fixes to the installation and update scripts, enriched our
library of collectors, and focused on fixing bugs reported by the
community.
At a glance
Netdata now collects and meaningfully organizes metrics from both
the Couchbase JSON document database and the nginx-module-vts
module for exposing metrics about NGINX virtual hosts.
We've also migrated more collectors from Python to Go in our
continued efforts to make data collection faster and more robust.
The newest effort includes our Redis, Pika, and Energi Core Wallet
collectors.
On the dashboard, we improved the responsiveness of panning forward
and backward through historical metrics data by preventing
unnecessary updates and reducing the number of calls. The charts
should also now immediately update when you stop panning.
Improvements
* Reduce the number of alarm updates on ACLK.
* Remove unused entries from structures.
* Improve the retry/backoff during claiming.
* Support multiple chart label keys in data queries.
* Truncate excessive information from titles for apps and
cgroups collectors.
* Use mguid instead of hostname in the ACLK collector list.

* Mon Dec 28 2020 Paolo Stivanin <info@paolostivanin.com>
- Update to v1.28
Release v1.28.0 is a hotfix release to address a deadlock in the
Netdata Agent. If the Agent-Cloud link (ACLK) connection drops and
the Agent fails to queue an on_connect message, it also fails to
properly release a lock in the web server thread.
* Fri Dec 25 2020 Mia Herkt <mia@0x0.st>
- Enable additional dependencies (gprc, json, libcurl, libelf,
libwebsockets, protobuf, snappy, xenstat, yajl)
- Update to v1.27.0 (go.d.plugin 0.26.2)
The v1.27.0 release of the Netdata Agent brings dramatic
improvements to long-term metrics storage via the database engine,
and new dashboard features like a time & date picker for
visualizing precise timeframes. Two new collectors bring incredible
new value to existing features, including a bit of machine learning
magic.

* Mon Apr 13 2020 Mia Herkt <mia@0x0.st>
- Update to v1.21.1:
Release v1.21.1 is a hotfix release to improve the performance of
the new React dashboard, which was merged and enabled by default in
v1.21.0.
The React dashboard shipped in v1.21.0 did not properly freeze
charts that were outside of the browser's viewport. If a user who
loaded many charts by scrolling through the dashboard, charts
outside of their browser's viewport continued updating. This excess
of chart updates caused all charts to update more slowly than every
second.
v1.21.1 includes improvements to the way the Netdata dashboard
freezes, maintains state, and restores charts as users scroll.

Version: 1.10.0-bp150.2.4
* Tue Mar 27 2018 9+suse@cirno.systems
- Remove _service
- Add GPG signature
- Use %license macro
- Update to v1.10.0
* new plugins:
- BTRFS - monitor the allocations of BTRFS filesystems (netdata can now
properly detect when btrfs is going out of space)
- BCACHE - monitor the caching block layer that allows building hybrid
disks using normal HDDs and SSDs
- Ceph - monitor ceph distributed storage
- nginx plus - monitor the nginx+ web servers
- libreswan - monitor IPSEC tunnels
- Traefik - monitor traefik reverse proxies
- icecast - monitor icecast streaming servers
- ntpd - monitor NTP servers
- httpcheck - monitor any remote web server
- portcheck - monitor any remote TCP port
- spring-boot - monitor java spring boot applications
- dnsdist - monitor dnsdist name servers
- hugepages - monitor the allocation of Linux hugepages
* enhanced/improved plugins:
- statsd
+ statsd dimensions now support the options the external plugin
dimensions support (currently the only usable option is hidden to add
the dimension, but make it hidden on the dashboard - a hidden
dimension can participate in various calculations, including alarms).
+ statsd now reports the CPU usage of its threads at the netdata
section.
+ statsd metrics are logged to access.log the first time they are
encountered.
+ statsd metrics now accept the special value zinit to allow them get
initialized without altering their values (this is useful if you have
rare metrics that you need to initialize when netdata starts).
+ statsd over TCP is now a lot faster - netdata can process up to 3.5mil
statsd metrics / second using just one core. Added options to control
the timeouts of TCP statsd connections.
+ fixed the title and context of statsd private charts
+ statsd private charts can now be hidden from the dashboard
- web_log
+ Added web server response timings histogram
- containers monitoring
+ netdata now monitors systemd-nspawn containers.
+ netdata now renames charts of kubernetes containers.
+ virsh is now called with -r to avoid prompting for password
+ cgroup-network is now a lot more strict, preventing unauthorized
privilege escalation
+ cgroup-network now searches for container processes in sub-cgroups
too - this improves the mapping of network interfaces to containers
+ cgroup-network now works even when there are no veth interfaces
in the system
- system memory
+ treat slab memory as cached
+ added a new chart for monitoring the memory available for use,
before hitting swap
+ netdata now monitors Linux hugepages and (transparent) hugepages
- diskspace
+ support huge amounts of mountpoints - netdata was crashing with stack
overflow due to recursion - now it is a loop, so any number of mount
points is supported
- network interfaces
+ moved tcp passive and active opens to a separate chart, to allow the
TCP issues dimensions scale better by default
+ updated the information presented on TCP charts to match the latest
v4.15 kernel source
- postgres
+ new charts:
checkpointer
bgwriter
autovacuum
replication delta
WAL archive
WAL
temporary files
+ The postgres plugin now also works when postgres is in recovery mode.
- rabbitmq
+ added Erlang run queue chart. This is useful in conjunction with the
existing Erlang processes chart to get a better overall idea of what's
going on in the Erlang VM.
+ added rabbitmq information on the dashboard to complement the charts.
- apps.plugin
netdata prior to this version was detecting the user and group of
processes by examining the ownership of /proc/PID/stat. Unfortunately it
seems that the owneship of files in /proc do not change when the process
switches user. So, netdata could not detect the user and group of
processes that started as root and then switched to another user.
Now netdata reads /proc/PID/status:
+ process ownship information is now accurate
+ eliminated the need to read /proc/PID/statm (all the information of
/proc/PID/statm is available in /proc/PID/status)
+ allowed netdata to read VmSwap, so a new chart has been added to
monitor the swap memory usage per process, user and group.
+ The new plugin is 20% more expensive in terms of CPU. We tried hard
to optimize it, but this is as good as it can get.
- haproxy
+ hrsp_1xx, hrsp_2xx, hrsp_3xx, hrsp_4xx, hrsp_5xx, hrsp_other,
hrsp_total for backands and frontends
+ qtime, ctime, rtime, ttime metrics for backend servers
+ backend servers In UP state
- uptime
+ netdata now uses /proc/uptime when CLOCK_BOOTTIME does not report the
same uptime. In containers CLOCK_BOOTTIME reports the uptime of the
host, while /proc/uptime reports the uptime of the container, so now
netdata correctly reports the uptime of the container.
- ksm
+ removed to_scan dimension
+ the savings % reported by netdata was less than the actual - fixed it.
- mdstat
+ various fixes to better monitor rebuild time and rate
- elasticsearch
+ Added several charts for translog / indices segments statistics and
JVM buffer pool utilization, which are often helpful when evaluating
an elasticsearch node health
- apcupsd
+ netdata now supports monitoring multiple APC UPSes.
- isc-dhcpd
+ netdata now also supports monitoring IPv6 leases
- fronius
+ added a new dimension solar_consumption
+ added alarms
- stiebeleltron
+ added alarms
- python.d
+ python.d.plugin can now start even if /etc/netdata/python.d.conf
is missing
+ python.d.plugin now has an internal run counter
+ the unicode decoding of the plugin has been fixed
+ the plugin now does not validate self-signed certificates
+ the plugin can not revive obsolete charts
- charts.d
+ charts.d.plugin BASH modules can now have custom number of retries in
case of data collection failures
* new alarm notifications plugins:
- alerta
- IRC
* web server:
- netdata now has a new internal web server that supports a fixed number
of threads - we call it static web server. This web server allows
netdata to work around memory fragmentation (since the treads are fixed,
the underlying memory allocators reuse the same memory arenas) and cpu
utilization (we can control the number of threads that will be used by
netdata). This is the default now.
- now the static threads web server reports the CPU usage of each of its
threads.
- the HTTP response headers now include the netdata version
* dashboard:
- the print button now respects the URL path netdata is hosted.
- dygraphs updated to the latest version - this fixes an issue that
prevented netdata charts from being interactive under certain conditions
- added dygraph theme logscale
- fontawesome updated to version 5
- d3 updated to the latest version (this broke c3 charts that require an
older version)
- added d3pie charts
- custom dashboards can now have alarms for specific roles (all, none,
one or more).
- allow stacked charts to zoom vertically when dimensions are selected
- netdata now has a global XSS protection
- netdata now uses intersectionObserver when available - this improves the
scrolling performance of the dashboard.
- prevent date, time and units from wrapping at the charts legends
- various units scaling improvements
- added data-common-colors="NAME" chart option for custom dashboards
- added wiki page for creating custom dashboards on Atlassian's Confluence
- prevented a double click on the charts' toolbox to select the text of
the buttons.
- fixed the alignment of dashboard icons
- added a simple js, called refresh-badges.js, to update badges on a
custom web page
* badges:
- netdata badges can now be scaled
* API:
- added gtime parameter, for group time. This is used to request from
netdata to return values in a different rate (i.e. gtime=60 on a X/sec
dimension, will return X/min).
- fixed a rounding bug in JSON generation
- the dimensions= parameter now supports simple patterns and added option
values match-ids and match-names to control which matches are executed
for dimensions.
* alarms:
- "system.swap" alarms now send notifications with a 30 seconds delay,
to work-around a kernel bug that incorrectly reports all swap as
instantly used under containers
- added alarm to predict the time a mount point will run out of inodes
- added alerta.io notifications
- added available memory alarm
- removed unsupported html tags from hipchat notifications.
- pagerduty notifications have been modified to avoid incident duplication
- alarm definitions can now use both chart IDs and chart names (prior to
this version only chart IDs were allowed).
- curl options (eg for disabling SSL certificates verification) for
alarm-notify.sh can now be defined in health_alarm_notify.conf.
- netdata can now send notifications to IRC channels
* backends:
- on netdata masters, allow filtering the hosts that will be sent to
backends with send hosts matching = * pattern.
- improved connection error handling and added retries to allow netdata
connect to certain backends that failed with EALREADY or EINPROGRESS.
- json backends now receive host tags (the tags have to be formatted in a
json friendly way)
- re-worked the alarm that triggers when backend data are lost,
to avoid flip-flops.
- prometheus backends:
+ added URL option timestamps=yes|no to /api/v1/allmetrics to support
prometheus Pushgateway
+ added netdata_info variable with the version of netdata
+ renamed netdata_host_tags to netdata_host_tags_info (the old exists
but is deprecated and will be removed eventually)
+ when prometheus uses average metrics, netdata remembers the last
access time the prometheus collected metrics, on a per host basis.
* metrics streaming between netdata:
- netdata masters and proxies now expose the version of the netdata
collecting the metrics, not their own. So, now a netdata master shows
on the dashboard and sends to backends the version of the netdata
collecting the metrics
- added stream.conf option multiple "connections = accept | deny" to allow
or deny multiple connection for the same netdata host. The default
remains "accept", but it is likely to be changed to no on future
versions.
* other:
- added global option gap when lost iterations to control the number of
iterations that should be lost to show a gap on the charts.
- various fixes/improvements related to netdata logs - the main change is
that now netdata logs the thread name that logged the message, providing
helpful insights about the thread that complained.
- re-worked the exit procedure of netdata to allow it cleanup properly -
sometimes netdata was deadlocked during exit, waiting forever - now
netdata always exits promptly
- fixed compilation on ancient gcc versions
- netdata was always setting itself to the idle process scheduling
priority, even when it was configured to do otherwise. Fixed it.
* Sun Dec 17 2017 9@cirno.systems
- Update to v1.9.0
* new features:
- IP address ACLs
- auto-scaling units (KB ? MB ? GB ? TB etc.)
- dashboard snapshots for any timeframe/resolution
- detection of TCP overflows and dropped connections
- detection of redis background save failures
- export dashboards to PDF
- flock.com and kavenegar.com alarm notifications
- highlighting timeframes on all charts by holding Ctrl or Alt
- monitoring of couchdb, powerdns, beanstalkd and dnsdist

1. too many tcp orphan sockets
2. tcp memory that detects that the tcp stack is under memory pressure
or close to giving memory errors
3. too many tcp connections (for kernels that do not support dynamic
allocation of connections)
- timezone support
- unit conversion (temperatures, time, etc.)
* fixes/improvements:
- better/faster dashboard scrolling
- python.d.plugin rewritten
+ supports option autodetection_retry: SECONDS
+ the new URL service disables certificates checks by default,
to allow self-signed certificates to work without configuration.
- streaming:
+ netdata proxies with more than 100 slaves had a timing issue that
caused them to crash randomly on slave reconnects. Parts of the code
have been rewritten to get rid of the timing issue.
+ netdata slaves and proxies now have a protection that ensures they will
never use 100% CPU, even if the master is misbehaving.
+ expired orphaned hosts are now removed from the my-netdata menu of the
dashboard.
+ streaming functions can now be monitored via access.log
+ streaming now transfers alarm variables too
- web_log plugin
+ custom regex now supports parsing hostnames and IPs
+ now parses lines with error 408 (request timeout - these are a special
case, since the request has not received by the web server, so the log
line is incomplete)
+ now properly parses resp_length with value
- disks under Linux are renamed using /dev/disk/by-label. An option has been
added at netdata.conf to also allow renaming based on /dev/disk/by-id.
- chrony is now disabled by default, because there have been reports that
chronyc enters an infinite loop in CentOS and RHEL.
- tomcat improvements to support flavors of the tomcat server
- chart system.io (the total system Disk I/O) is now calculated by
aggregating the reads and writes of all physical disks. The previous
system.io chart (that is based on pgpgin and pgpgout from /proc/vmstat)
is now named system.pgpgio. The key difference is that the new system.io
now sees ZFS I/O, and it also correctly and accurately sums the real disk
bandwidth of RAID arrays.
- chart system.net (the total system network bandwidth) is now calculated
by aggregating the bandwidth of all physical network interfaces and is
common for both IPv4 and IPv6.
- tc (QoS) charts now sort the dimensions on the legends, the same way tc
reports them.
- mysql (and mariadb) got new charts for galera replication
- postgres versions <= 10 the WAL directory was named pg_xlog' and from 10
upwards has been renamed to pg_wal
- freeipmi.plugin got a command line option (can be given in netdata.conf)
to ignore certain sensor IDs that are faulty.
- minor openvpn_log, smartd, smartd_log, varnish, mdstat, dns_query_time,
isc_dhcpd, freeradius and node.d.plugin fixes/improvements
- netdata now supports multiple plugin directories. The setting is the same
in netdata.conf, plugins directory = "DIRECTORY1" "DIRECTORY2" ...,
up to 20 directories.
- netdata now supports alarms variables. Each plugin can now define host
global and chart local variables with static values that can be used in
alarms' expressions.
- dashboard:
+ hover selection of charts is now faster on all browsers
+ the dashboard is now fixed when a modal is open, preventing scrolling
+ the dashboard now uses fontawesome 5.0.1 for icons
+ chart names can now be searched with browser control-F
+ netdata now detects libvirt VM network interfaces and moves them to the
VM section of the dashboard
+ now shows the context, resolution and plugin/module of each chart in
tooltips
+ should now put a lot less CPU pressure on the browser when the page
does not have focus
- statsd:
+ metrics can now be added to statsd synthetic charts using patterns
+ dimensions added to statsd synthetic charts can automatically be renamed
using a dictionary
+ timers and histograms now report zeros when nothing is collected
- badges:
+ fixed a bug in netdata badges that was incorrectly matching zero values
with the null color condition
+ added API option display_absolute to allow badges use the signed value
for color evaluation, but present the absolute value
- alarms/notifications:
+ warning emails sent by netdata are now a little bit more orange
(they were a bit greenish)
+ fixed a bug in email notifications that was triggering a corrupted MIME
match by anti-spam solutions
+ pushbullet notifications now track the devices, so that per-device
filtering at pushbullet is possible. Also improved the formatting a bit.
+ correct priority of warnings for pushover notifications
+ alarms can now use variables like this:
${variable with spaces or +, -, *, / in it}
- other:
+ access.log has been refactored to support monitoring all netdata
operations
+ inodes monitoring is now by default disabled for mount points based on
filesystems that do not have a maximum inode threshold (such as cephfs)
+ rabbitmq has been added to apps_groups.conf so that apps.plugin now
monitors (cpu, memory, disk I/O, sockets, etc) rabbitmq instances
+ several email and log management apps have been added to email and logs
targets of apps_groups.conf
+ ceph target added to apps_groups.conf to allow netdata to monitor Ceph
+ refactored several internal data collection plugins to eliminate a few
hundreds of index lookups per second
+ netdata.conf settings that are loaded from disk, but were the same with
the default ones, were generated commented when the server was asked to
return its config. Now all loaded settings are generated uncommented.
+ netdata simple patterns can now extract the the wildcarded part of the
string they match (used in statsd synthetic charts)
+ netdata simple patterns can allow escaping spaces by prefixing them
with a backslash
