pcp-2.2.0-15 (23 May 2001)
- don't include linux/kernel_stat.h and avoid __sparc__ conditional code
- from Michal Kara: rc will rebuild PMNS if root_* files newer than root
- add the roomtemp PMDA for measuring temperatures using the 1-Wire
serial network ans sensor technology from Dallas Semiconductor
- zero network.tcpconn values before counting them in /proc/net/tcp
(Michal Kara's original code was correct - markgw busted it!)
- add new LGPL library libpcp_http. Used by permission of the author,
Laurent Demailly <L@Demailly.com>
- minor surgery on apache PMDA to link with -lpcp_http
- minor fix diagnostic from __pmLogRead
- as reported by Alexander L. Belikoff <abel@vallinor4.com>, it was
not possible to disable the primary logger via changes to the
/var/pcp/config/pmlogger/control file ... this has been fixed
- as reported by Alan Bailey <bailey@mcs.anl.gov>, the assumption
that /var/pcp/config/pmlogger/control was version 1.1 was implicit
... this is now documented and the pmlogger_* scripts will warn
if the deprecated version 1.0 format is used accidently
- from Michal Kara: fix mem leak in apache PMDA
- from Michal Kara: install /var/pcp/config/pmlogger/Makefile
(src is in src/pmlogctl/Makefile.install). This provides pre-processing
of pmlogger config files with cpp.
- reintroduction of "impl.h" header, deprecate "pmapi_dev.h" and major
makefile surgery to reintegrate the IRIX and Linux PCP source trees
- add ia64 support infrastructure.

- promote shping to open-source status
- fix bug #814989 where disk.all.* not summed correctly (if the sard
patch has been applied to running kernel)
- with the sard patch applied to the kernel, disk.all metrics were
being summed as the total of disk.partitions and disk.dev metrics,
resulting in approximately twice the rate of disk I/O for the
disk.all metrics
- added more disk metrics and update help text
- the "cpu" instance domain is now dynamic and supports any number of CPUs
- fixed pmie rc and pmie_{check,daily} scripts
- a bunch of places were using $PCP_VAR_DIR/config/pmcd/pmcd.conf
as the path to pmcd.conf (which is correct). Others were using
/etc/pmcd.conf (which is only correct on IRIX).
- merged IRIX/Linux versions of pmsocks
- mimic the IRIX xconfirm behaviour more closely, pv 817289
- pv:817367 Handle SIGCHLD from xconfirm problem on Linux
- minor changes in error messages to make them less IRIX-centric
and hence more sensible for Linux
- fix weblog link in doc dir logic and old netscape should be
detected as CERN not NS_PROXY.
- fix weblog so regex in the configuration file is recognized
correctly on all platforms

- fix to src/pmie/pmie_check.sh, improve pattern to match No such
file or directory for linux
- fix all linux specs to install root,root rather than root,bin
(needed to avoid warnings when installing on redhat7.1)
- add GNUmakefile.install for all PMDAs, installed in each PMDA dir
- fix src/pmdas/weblog/server.sh to use quotes on -d that was breaking
when parameter empty.
- pv:807561 change pmprobe -i and -I semantics to call pmGetInDom
rather than using the returned indom from pmFetch

and small change to ignore comments in conf files.
- added hinv.pagesize (uses the getpagesize(2) system call)
- fixed bug #825229 where rpm upgrade would clobber root pmns for PMDAs
pcp-2.1.10-8 (released circa Oct 18 2000, with SGI ACE1.4)
- guard against DOS attack by restring incoming PDU size to 64K.
- add hinv.map.cpu and hinv.cpu metrics exported by /proc/cpuinfo
- fix small error in INSTALL_MAN rule in src/include/builddefs.in
- fix for bug #793427 - correct symlinks for man pages with multiple
entries in the .SH NAME section.
- add network.tcpconn metrics to export counts of tcp connections in each
state. Code contributed by Michal Kara (lemming@arthur.plbohnice.cz)
- few minor fixes for build on ia64
pcp-2.1.9-12 (released circa Sept 13 2000, with SGI Propack1.4)
- for 2.4 without sard, correctly match disk numbers in /proc/stat
with major,minor numbers in /proc/partitions.
pcp-2.1.9-11 (unreleased)

- fixes so the build works if pcp is not already installed
- minor security fix to pcp.spec.in (force mode 644 for .NeedRebuild)

- fix for bug #797756, upgrade from pcp2.1.6 to any newer version leaves
pcp chkconfig off and the name space does not get rebuilt.
- extended the weblogs PCP agent so it can report proxy/squid
http servers, and added assorted http cache statistics.
- fixed the Cisco router PCP agent (it was broken in pp1.3).
- add support for disk stats in 2.4.x kernels with "disk_io" field
in /proc/stat (only used when sard patch is not installed)
- if the pcp-pro package (SGI proprietary) is installed, all libpcp
clients on linux are now "authorized" to monitor IRIX systems that
do not have a pmcd collector license.
pcp-2.1.9-6 (released 2 Aug 2000 for propack1.4 - alpha, not final)
- install /usr/share/pcp/lib/rc-proc.sh containing common
shell functions for use by rc scripts - these functions
are tolerant of the chkconfig command missing (as in SUSE).
- update all rc scripts and {pmlogger,pmie}_{check,daily} scripts
to use the new rc-proc.sh functions. Remove the /etc/sysconfig
stuff entirely (it was not being used anyway).
- fix for #795934 : after rpm -U, pcp is chkconfig off. It turned
out that an upgrade executes the %post _and_ the %preun scripts,
which resulted in pcp being chkconfig'd on then off again.
- fix pmie rc scripts so they work, are chkconfig friendly,
and cope with _and_ without pmieconf (which is in pcp-pro).
Also install /var/pcp/config/pmie/config.default as a simple example
to monitor the load average and report to syslog. The pmie
daemon is chkconfig off by default.
- default run levels for pmcd and pmie (daemon) are now 2345, for SUSE
- reconcile troff and groff differences in man page sources
- fix for bug #797049 use strftime(%z) to determine timezone offsets
w.r.t. daylight savings
- portability surgery on src/libpcp_trace, and add new pmtracecounter()
function, see pmtracebegin(3) for details.
- reconcile pcp.env and pmcd.options from IRIX
- fix for bug #797048 update-magic does not fully remove old entries
before adding new, hence the magic file would grow after each upgrade
- other minor reconciliation work with IRIX
- fix build environment to allow proper handling of compressed man pages
- add support for RPM version 4.
- add support for add kernel.{all,percpu}.syscall metrics
(requires kernel patch)
- fixed for bug #797164: potential SEGV due to calling realloc on a
misused pointer - src/pmdas/weblog/weblog.c
- use realpath(3) to resolve devices in /proc/mounts for filesys.* metrics
pcp-2.1.8-2 (released 30 June 2000)
- fix for bug #793871 pmlogger_check fails after redhat upgrade
(because PCP entries in /usr/share/magic were clobbered)
- also install /var/pcp/pmdas/linux/pmdalinux (as a non-DSO
agent for debugging and profiling purposes).
- added pmda.uname (uname -a) and pmda.version (linux pmda version)
metrics. The pmda.uname metric is needed by the "pcp" command.
- fix for #789025 fix to ensure rpm --verify succeeds immediately
after an install, and other errors in pmlogger_check
- released with ACE 1.3 (MR 19 Jul 2000)
pcp-2.1.7 (internal release for testing)
- merged changes from IRIX for multiple namespace support in
pmdaproc.sh
- parameterized path to pmcd.conf and pmcd.options to avoid
having to move these files in IRIX. Use PCP_PMCDCONF_PATH and
PCP_PMCDOPTIONS_PATH respectfully.
- add new error define PM_ERR_LOGFILE (reconciled from IRIX)
- conditional pragma for pmGetConfig (not used in linux)
- use if defined(HAVE_OBJECT_STYLE) to guard __pmCheckObjectStyle
since it's not used in linux (reconciled with irix code)
- correct logic used to scan for pmlogger pid in pmlogger_check
in case where pmlogger exits prematurely, part of #789025
- added -Wall to default CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
- added xfs metrics (needs kernel support else no values available)
extracted from /proc/fs/xfs/stat
- added nfs (version 3) metrics, same names as on irix, bug #789669
- fix instance domain for kernel.percpu.interrupts, bug #790372
pcp-2.1.6 (released 3 May 2000)
- released with ISE 1.2 (MR 25 May 2000)
- released with ISEMAIL 1.0 (MR 24 May 2000)
- this is the version shipped with SGI ProPack1.3
- change use of __clone to pthread_create for portability
- add support for raid disk stats (previously ignored)
- fix for bug #789425 pmie suspect behaviour with "delta" keyword
- add support for devfs style scsi disk names
- fixed a problem where nfs stats were always showing NFSv3 stats
rather than NFSv2 stats. We are not (yet) supporting NFSv3 stats.
pcp-2.1.5 (released 12 April 2000)
- released with SGI ACE 1.2 (MR 19 Apr 200)
- fix bug #786743 filesys metrics are wrong
- fix potential segfault bug in timezone handling
- tolerate SUSE's location of magic file different to Redhat's
- tolerate no chkconfig on SUSE (use %postinstall create rc symlinks)
pcp-2.1.4 (released 15 Feb 2000)
- fix for segfault src/pmdas/linux/pmda.c on linuxppc, found by
Dale F. Brantly <dale.brantly@sgi.com>
- fix build error in src/pmclient, was trying to use pmgenmap
without /etc/pcp.env, also found by Dale.
- setlinebuf(stdout) for all clients that loop
(fixes a buffering problem on alpha-linux).
- fixed some missing "{" in conditional variable assignments
in src/pmie/etc_init.d_pmie (found by lstep@free.fr)
- changed use of pmgenmap in build for pmclient and
pmkstat to be consistent (found by lstep@free.fr)
- don't assume clock tick rate is 100/second. Use the CLK_TCK macro
instead. Rearrange arithmetic in src/pmdas/linux/pmda.c where we
divide by CLK_TCK to avoid truncation in conversions from jiffies
to milliseconds.
- return "no values available" rather than PM_ERR_APPVERSION for
the metrics disk.{all,dev}.{read,write,total}_bytes since these
are not available on systems without the "sard disk patch". This
is now consistent with requests for disk.partitions.* metrics.
pcp-2.1.3 (released with 2.1.4)
- released with ISE 1.0 (MR 1 Mar 2000)
- added hinv.map.scsi metric as a map of SCSI devices (if any)
- added disk.dev.{read,write,total}_bytes

(changed test -l to test -f)
- fixed problem with definition of __psint_t on 64bit machines
- fixed timezone problem with daylight saving
