[Perfparse-devel] New version, 0.103.1

[Ben C. <Be...@cl...>]

Dear Users,

New version 0.103.1.  This includes new abilities.  All existing code 
from previous version remains the same.  The MySQL compilation problem 
has also been fixed.  New version, as explained by the author:

Perfparsed, when run as a TCP/IP server (which was already possible with 
0.102.1), implements a new command : "history". If the file_output 
storage module is enabled and working, you can ask perfparsed to get 
some data from the archives between two dates, with optional filters 
(host/metric/key).
As a hidden flavour, with the "history command", perfparsed can read 
gzipped files if you decided to compress them :)

Perfparse can read perf data from a new source : ">host:port". A source 
with the first character as ">", followed with the host name and port of 
a running perfparsed can be asked that way for data thanks to the new 
"history" feature of perfparsed. New options were added to get the data 
between two dates, with the optional filters host/metric/key.

Those two features open the door of new ways to install perfparse, the 
choice between storing the data in a mysql database to show graphs and 
compute statistics, and storing data on the remote host as plain text 
files for easier manipulation, and retrieve the data only when needed.

Yves & Ben.
