2.0.0 / 2014-08-22

• BREAKING CHANGE: Datadog Agent 5.0.0 Release Edition

  With the release of Datadog Agent 5.x, all Python dependencies are now bundled, and extensions for monitoring are no longer needed. Integration-specific recipes no longer install any packages, so if you are using a version older than 5.x, you may have to install these yourself. This greatly simplifies deployment of all components for monitoring. See commit b77582122f3db774a838f90907b421e544dd099c for the exact package resources that have been removed. Affected recipes:

  • hdfs
  • memcache
  • mongodb
  • mysql
  • postgres
  • redisdb

• BREAKING CHANGE: Removed chef_gem support for Chef versions pre 0.10.9.

  We haven't supported this version of Chef in some time, so it's unlikely that you will be affected at all. Just in case, please review what versions of Chef you have installed, and use an older version of this cookbook until you can upgrade them.

• [OPTIMIZE] Update repository recipe to choose correct arch, @remh

Dependency Note

One of the dependencies of this cookbook is the apt cookbook. A change introduced in the apt cookbook 2.0.0 release was a Chef 11-specific feature that would break on any Chef 10 system, so we considered adding a restriction in our metadata.rb to anything below 2.0.0.

A fix has gone in to apt 2.1.0 that relaxes this condition, and plays well with both Chef 10 and 11. We recommend using this version, or higher.

1.0.1 / 2013-05-14

• Fixed iis and rabbitmq template syntax - #58 @gregf
• Updated style/spacing in ActiveMQ template
• Updated test suite to validate cookbook & templates
• Updated chefignore to clean the built cookbook from containing cruft

1.0.0 / 2013-05-06

• BREAKING CHANGE: Moved all attributes into datadog namespace - #46 (#23, #26)

  Reasoning behind this was that originally we attempted to auto-detect many common attributes and deploy automatic monitoring for them. We found that since inclusion of the datadog cookbook early in the run list caused the compile phase to be populated with our defaults (mostly nil), instead of the desired target, and namespacing of the attributes became necessary.

• NEW PROVIDER: Added a new datadog_monitor provider for integration use

  The new provider is used in many pre-provided integration recipes, such as datadog::apache. This enables a run list to include this recipe, as well as populate a node attribute with the needed instance details to monitor the given service

• Updated dependencies in Gemfile, simplifies travis build - #34, #55

• Much improved test system (chefspec, test-kitchen) - #35 & others

• Tests against multiple versions of Chef - #18

• Added language-specific recipes for installing dogstatsd - (#28)

• Added ability to control dogstatsd from agent config via attribute - #27

• Placed the dogstatsd log file in /var/log/ instead of /tmp

• Added attribute to configure dogstreams in datadog.conf - #37

• Updated for platform_family semantics

• Added node['datadog']['agent_version'] attribute

• (Handler Recipe) Better handling of EC2 instance ID for Handler - #44

• Updated for agent 3.6.x logging syntax

• Generated config file removes some whitespace - #56

• Removed dependency on yum::epel, only uses yum for the repository recipe

0.1.4 / 2013-04-25

• Quick fix for backporting test code to support upload in ruby 1.8.7

0.1.3 / 2013-01-27

0.1.2 / 2012-10-15
