ostent v0.7.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2016-09-19 // about 7 years ago-
🚀 This is a reboot of sorts. This release cuts old and clumsy flags & parameters to include a solid base for metrics collection and reporting interoperability. These are the highlights:
- Consistent display: client can specify listing bounds though (not delays).
- 0️⃣ The default collection interval can be set by new
--interval
flag or
in a config file asagent.interval
, reporting interval as
agent.flush_interval
. - Each "input" (a specific metrics collection) can have different interval.
- 🔧 Configuration file for all the "inputs", "outputs" and generic options.
0️⃣ The file is not required for defaults and can be concise with omitted settings
0️⃣ being defaults. - 🔌 Some "input" plugins may be deemed intrinsically slow or of no interest,
🔧 these can be configured to have longer interval or disabled completely. - 🔌 "output" plugins for each supported outputs: InfluxDB, Graphite, Librato.
