Monitorix

A new alert capability based on the usage of the root filesystem was introduced. This alert follows the same logic as the current CPU alert. A protection mechanism was added to prevent a possible timeout when collecting usage from NFS shares or other network filesystems. The netmask suffix is now removed when collecting network traffic when the IP belongs to a hostname instead of a network.

The rigid value in the Network Port activity graphs has been relaxed, changing it from 2 to 0. This will scale the graphs automatically by default. The Mail statistics graph is disabled by default. There are some enhancements in the install.sh script that should improve the installation of Monitorix in FreeBSD systems. As a consequence of that, monitorix.conf has changed to accomodate the new default path where the .rrd files are located. A number of bugs have been fixed that affected the correct functionality of Monitorix.

This new version introduces a new major feature: a complete MTA statistics graph. The internal layout of this new graph follows the standard Monitorix model with a central graph on the left and two smaller graphs on the right. This version also includes support for those "multilines" in the sensor command that show the value in the next line. Some bugs were fixed.

This version doesn't come with any big and relevant change, except for the fact that Monitorix is now able to automatically detect the amount of memory in the system. The $MEMORY option is now only used to force a specific amount of memory. Another change that affects the monitorix.conf file is the new support for the Arch Linux distribution, including its own key in the $OSTYPE option and its own paths. A pair of cosmetic changes were made, and some bugs were fixed.

This new version comes with some different improvements. The most noticeable is a wider mount point column in the disk usage graph in order to fit longer pathnames. Some cleaning was done in the Monitorix logos to support transparency. The "envelope" image was removed, since the new mailing list is the primary communication channel. The main page was simplified. The $IDATE option was removed. The code of the main page was fixed to honor when the "white" theme is selected. Some bugs were fixed.
