Hello development folks,
by coincidence, I stumbled across Collectd today.
Currently, we ship version 4.10.9 of it, released 2013-04-08. The latest release, however, is 5.12.0 (2020-09-03, as displayed in https://collectd.org/files/), while https://collectd.org/news.shtml still mentions 5.8.0 (2017-11-21) as the latest one.
Either way, we are lacking updates here. :-)
Not really. The format of the RRD databases has been changed in version 5 which is the reason why we are still on version 4.
There are a couple of conversations about this on this list which should point out what work has to be done to migrate. It will be at least:
* Updating collectd * Export all RRD databases (potentially convert the data) and then create databases of the new format * Update the code that generates the graphs to reflect the changed format
I always considered this a major task which isn’t worth the work.

Does anyone have some spare time for Collectd left, and is willing to work on this?
Thanks in advance, and best regards, Peter Müller
