  • v1.21.0 Changes

    April 06, 2020

    Netdata v1.21.0

    📚 Release v1.21.0 contains 2 new collectors, 3 new exporting connectors, 37 bug fixes, 46 improvements, and 25 documentation updates. We also made 26 bug fixes or improvements related to the upcoming release of Netdata Cloud.

    At a glance

    We added a new collector for Apache Pulsar , a popular open-source distributed pub-sub messaging system. We use Pulsar in our Netdata Cloud infrastructure (more on that later this month!), and are excited to start sharing metrics about our own Pulsar systems when the time comes. The Pulsar collector attempts to auto-detect any running Pulsar processes, but you can always configure the collector based on your setup.

    Also new in v1.21 is a VerneMQ collector. We use the open-source MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) broker for Netdata Cloud as well. As with Pulsar, you can configure the VerneMQ collector to auto-detect your installation in just a few steps.

    📄 Our experimental exporting engine received significant updates with new connectors for Prometheus remote write, MongoDB, and AWS Kinesis Data Streams. You can now send Netdata metrics to more than 20 additional external storage providers for long-term archiving and deeper analysis. Learn more about the exporting engine in our documentation.

    We upgraded our TLS compatibility to include 1.3 , which applies to HTTPS for both Netdata's web server and streaming connections. TLS 1.3 is the most up-to-date version of the TLS protocol, and contains important fixes and improvements to ensure strong encryption. If you enabled TLS in the web server or streaming, Netdata attempts to use 1.3 by default, but you can also set the version and ciphers explicitly. Learn more in the documentation.

    The Netdata dashboard has been completely re-written in React. While the look and behavior hasn't changed, these under-the-hood changes enable a suite of new features, UX improvements, and design overhauls. With React, we'll be able to work faster and better resource our talented engineers.

    As part of the ongoing work to polish our eBPF collector tech preview , we've now proven the collector's performance is very good, and have vastly expanded the number of operating system versions the collector works on. Learn how to enable it in our documentation. We've also extensively stress-tested the eBPF collector and found that it's impressively fast given the depth of metrics it collects! Read up on our benchmarking analysis on GitHub.

  • v1.20.0 Changes

    February 21, 2020

    Netdata v1.20.0

    📚 Release v1.20.0 contains 3 new collectors, 54 bug fixes, 89 improvements, and 38 documentation updates.

    At a glance

    Our first major release of 2020 comes with an alpha version of our new eBPF collector. eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) is a virtual bytecode machine, built directly into the Linux kernel, that you can use for advanced monitoring and tracing.

    🚀 With this release, the eBPF collector monitors system calls inside your kernel to help you understand and visualize the behavior of your file descriptors, virtual file system (VFS) actions, and process/thread interactions. You can already use it for debugging applications and better understanding how the Linux kernel handles I/O and process management.

    The eBPF collector is in a technical preview, and doesn't come enabled out of the box. If you'd like to learn more about_why_ eBPF metrics are such an important addition to Netdata, see our blog post: Linux eBPF monitoring with Netdata. When you're ready to get started, enable the
    📚 eBPF collector by following the steps in our documentation.

    This release also introduces host labels , a powerful new way of organizing your Netdata-monitored systems. Netdata automatically creates a handful of labels for essential information, but you can supplement the defaults by segmenting your systems based on their location, purpose, operating system, or even when they went live.

    🚑 You can use host labels to create alarms that apply only to systems with specific labels, or apply labels to metrics you archive to other databases with our exporting engine. Because labels are streamed from slave to master systems, you can now find critical information about your entire infrastructure directly from the master system.

    📄 Our host labels tutorial will walk you through creating your first host labels and putting them to use in Netdata's other features.

    Finally, we introduced a new CockroachDB collector. Because we use CockroachDB internally, we wanted a better way of keeping tabs on the health and performance of our databases. Given how popular CockroachDB is right now, we know we're not alone, and are excited to share this collector with our community. See our tutorial on monitoring CockroachDB metrics for set-up details.

    🌲 We also added a new squid access log collector that parses and visualizes requests, bandwidth, responses, and much more. Our apps.plugin collector has new and improved way of processing groups together, and our cgroups collector is better at LXC (Linux
    container) monitoring.

    📚 Speaking of collectors, we revamped our collectors documentation to simplify how users learn about metrics collection. You can now view a collectors quickstart to learn the process of enabling collectors and monitoring more applications and services with Netdata, and see everything Netdata collects in our supported collectors list.

    Acknowledgements

    🚀 We're extremely grateful to the following contributors for their help since our last major release in November 2019. Whether it's their first or fiftieth contribution, insights from our users not only help make Netdata better, but also remind us why we're so lucky to be part of a vibrant open-source community.

    💥 Breaking Changes

    • Removed deprecated bash collectors apache, cpu_apps, cpufreq, exim, hddtemp, load_average, mem_apps, mysql, nginx, phpfpm, postfix, squid, tomcat #7962 (ilyam8). If you were still using one of these collectors with custom configurations, you can find the new collector that replaces it in the supported collectors list.
    • 👀 Modified the Netdata updater to prevent unecessary updates right after installation and to avoid updates via local tarballs #7939 (prologic). These changes introduced a critical bug to the updater, which was fixed via #8057 #8076 (prologic) and #8028 (gmeszaros). See issue 8056 if your Netdata is stuck on v1.19.0-432.

  • v1.19.0 Changes

    November 27, 2019

    Netdata v1.19.0

    📚 Release v1.19.0 contains 2 new collectors, 19 bug fixes, 17 improvements, and 19 documentation updates.

    At a glance

    🌐 We completed a major rewrite of our web log collector to dramatically improve its flexibility and performance. The new collector, written entirely in Go, can parse and chart logs from Nginx and Apache servers, and combines numerous improvements. Netdata now supports the LTSV log format, creates charts for TLS and cipher usage, and is amazingly fast. In a test using SSD storage, the collector parsed the logs for 200,000 requests in about 200ms, using 30% of a single core.

    📜 This Go-based collector also has powerful custom log parsing capabilities, which means we're one step closer to a generic application log parser for Netdata. We're continuing to work on this parser to support more application log formatting in the future.

    🔧 We have a new tutorial on enabling the Go web log collector and using it with Nginx and/or Apache access logs with minimal configuration. Thanks to Wing924 for starting the Go rewrite!

    ✅ We introduced more cmocka unit testing to Netdata. In this release, we're testing how Netdata's internal web server processes HTTP requests—the first step to improve the quality of code throughout, reduce bugs, and make refactoring easier. We wanted to validate the web server's behavior but needed to build a layer of parametric testing on top of the CMocka test runner. Read all about our process of testing and selecting cmocka on our blog post: Building an agile team's 'safety harness' with cmocka and FOSS.

    Netdata's Unbound collector was also completely rewritten in Go to improve how it collects and displays metrics. This new version can get dozens of metrics, including details on queries, cache, uptime, and even show per-thread metrics. See our tutorial on enabling the new collector via Netdata's amazing auto-detection feature.

    We fixed an error where invalid spikes appeared on certain charts by improving the incremental counter reset/wraparound detection algorithm.

    Netdata can now send health alarm notifications to IRC channels thanks to Strykar!

    And, Netdata can now monitor AM2320 sensors, thanks to hard work from Tom Buck.

  • v1.18.1 Changes

    October 18, 2019

    Netdata v1.18.1

    📚 Release v1.18.1 contains 17 bug fixes, 5 improvements, and 5 documentation updates.

    At a glance

    🚀 Patch release 1.18.1 contains several bug fixes, mainly related to FreeBSD and the binary package generation process.

    📄 Netdata can now send notifications to Google Hangouts Chat!

    🚀 On certain systems, the slabinfo plugin introduced in v1.18.0 added thousands of new metrics. We decided the collector's usefulness to most users didn't justify the increase in resource requirements. This release disables the collector by default.

    Finally, we added a chart under Netdata Monitoring to present a better view of the RAM used by the database engine (dbengine). The chart doesn't currently take into consideration the RAM used for slave nodes, so we intend to add more related charts in the future.

  • v1.18.0 Changes

    October 10, 2019

    Netdata v1.18.0

    📚 Release v1.18.0 contains 5 new collectors, 19 bug fixes, 28 improvements, and 20 documentation updates.

    At a glance

    The database engine is now the default method of storing metrics in Netdata. You immediately get more efficient and configurable long-term metrics storage without any work on your part. By saving recent metrics in RAM and "spilling" historical metrics to disk for long-term storage, the database engine is laying the foundation for many more improvements to distributed metrics.

    📄 We even have a tutorial on switching to the database engine and getting the most from it. Or, just read up on how performant the database engine really is.

    Both our python.d and go.d plugins now have more intelligent auto-detection by periodically dump a list of active modules to disk. When Netdata starts, such as after a reboot, the plugins use this list of known services to re-establish metrics collection much more reliably. No more worrying if the service or application you need to monitor starts up minutes after Netdata.

    Two of our new collectors will help those with Hadoop big data infrastructures. The HDFS and Zookeeper collection modules come with essential alarms requested by our community and Netdata's auto-detection capabilities to keep the required configuration to an absolute minimum. Read up on the process via our HDFS and Zookeeper tutorial.

    Speaking of new collectors—we also added the ability to collect metrics from SLAB cache, Gearman, and vCenter Server Appliances.

    Before v1.18, if you wanted to create alarms for each dimension in a single chart, you need to write separate entities for each dimension—not very efficient or user-friendly. New dimension templates fix that hassle. Now, a single entity can automatically generate alarms for any number of dimensions in a chart, even those you weren't aware of! Our tutorial on dimension templates has all the details.

    📚 v1.18 brings support for installing Netdata on offline or air-gapped systems. To help users comply with strict security policies, our installation scripts can now install Netdata using previously-downloaded tarball and checksums instead of downloading them at runtime. We have guides for installing offline via kickstart.sh or kickstart-static64.sh in our installation documentation. We're excited to bring real-time monitoring to once-inaccessible systems!

  • v1.17.1 Changes

    September 12, 2019

    Netdata v1.17.1

    📚 Release v1.17.1 contains 2 bug fixes, 6 improvements, and 2 documentation updates.

    At a glance

    🚀 The main reason for the patch release is an essential fix to the repeating alarm notifications we introduced in v1.17.0. If you enabled repeating notifications, Netdata would not then send CLEAR notifications for the selected alarms.

    🚀 The release also includes a significant improvement to Netdata's auto-detection capabilities, especially after a system restart. Netdata now remembers which python.d plugin jobs were successfully collecting data the last time it was running, and retries to run those jobs for 5 minutes before giving up. As a result, you no longer have to worry if your system starts Netdata before the monitored services have had a chance to start properly. We will complete the same improvement for go.d plugins in v1.18.0.

    📦 We also made some improvements to our binary packages and added a neat sample custom dashboard that can show charts from multiple Netdata agents.

  • v1.17.0 Changes

    September 03, 2019

    📚 Release v1.17.0 contains 38 bug fixes, 33 improvements, and 20 documentation updates.

    At a glance

    You can now change the data collection frequency at will, without losing previously collected values. A major improvement to the new database engine allows you not only to store metrics at variable granularity, but also to autoscale the time axis of the charts, depending on the data collection frequencies used during the presented time.

    🐎 You can also now monitor VM performance from one or more vCenter servers with a new VSphere collector. In addition, the proc plugin now also collects ZRAM device performance metrics and the apps plugin monitors process uptime for the defined process groups.

    Continuing our efforts to integrate with as many existing solutions as possible, you can now directly archive metrics from Netdata to MongoDB via a new backend.

    📜 Netdata badges now support international (UTF8) characters! We also made our URL parser smarter, not only for international character support, but also for other strange API queries.

    🐧 We also added .DEB packages to our binary distribution repositories at Packagecloud, a new collector for Linux zram device metrics, and support for plain text email notifications.

    🚀 This release includes several fixes and improvements to the TLS encryption feature we introduced in v1.16.0. First, encryption slave-to-master streaming connections wasn't working as intended. And second, our community helped us discover cases where HTTP requests were not correctly redirected to HTTPS with TLS enabled. This release mitigates those issues and improves TLS support overall.

    🔧 Finally, we improved the way Netdata displays charts with no metrics. By default, Netdata displays charts for disks, memory, and networks only when the associated metrics are not zero. Users could enable these charts permanently using the corresponding configuration options, but they would need to change more than 200 options. With this new improvement, users can enable all charts with zero values using a single, global configuration parameter.
