This new version introduces two new modules: intelrapl.pm, for monitoring the power consumption of Intel-RAPL capable devices, and amdenergy.pm to monitor also AMD CPU power consumption. My special thanks to Andreas Bachlechner for his invaluable contribution.

The following are examples of these new two graphs:

Another important change in this new version is the total rewrite of serv.pm. Its configuration has also changed completely and now it allows a lot of customization. The default configuration should give the same results as with the previous version, although the graph layout will change. The only service that will be affected is Samba. This service needs a complex parsing to get the current Samba use and that's the reason why you need an external script to deal with it.

In the default configuration you'll see the following line to get Samba stats:

                Samba = G, exec:/usr/local/bin/samba.sh, "", ""

So, in order to continue getting the same Samba stats, just create the script /usr/local/bin/samba.sh (with execution permission) with the following content:

#!/bin/bash
(smbstatus -S ; smbstatus -L) | grep -v -e "^Service" -e "^Locked files:" -e "^Pid" -e "^$" -e "\--------------------"

The rest of new features, changes and bugs fixed are, as always, reflected in the Changes file:

Changed to /usr/bin/vcgencmd the default path in monitorix.conf. [#420]
Updated apcupsd.pm to have the same options and fixes as nut.pm. [#440]
Improved the readability of the Context switches graph and value alignments in process.pm. [#442][#443]

Fixed to match the values in the zoom graph of cores in lmsens.pm.
Fixed warnings for undefined mimetype on some HTTP requests. [#427]
Small fixes and cosmetic changes.

Due to massive change in serv.pm, the following options: secure_log, imap_log, hylafax_log, cups_log and cg_logdir have been deprecated and will be removed in the next Monitorix version.

Please, check the monitorix.conf(5) man page for all the details.

NOTICE: The configuration file monitorix.conf has been extended with important changes.

All users still using older versions are encouraged to upgrade to this new version.
