Updates for mackerel-agent-plugins and more

Well we’re halfway through September and it’s finally starting to feel like the fall season. It’s supposed to get chilly in the coming days. So be careful not to catch a cold!

Anyways, here is this week’s update information.

Host metrics posted at 5-minute intervals can now be checked more than 25 hours retroactively

Up until now in Mackerel, when posting host metrics, which were supposed to be posted every minute, at an interval of 5 minutes or more, data rounded over 25 hours would be lost.

With this week’s update, it is now possible to check back on data more than 25 hours retroactively. As a result, past changes among metrics obtained with AWS Integration can be checked from Mackerel, even data with 5-minute granularity.

This is a part of the development of the “New Time Series Data System”. We are continually making improvements, so look forward to future updates.

The role name of the official role registered in Ansible Galaxy has been changed

The official role registered in Ansible Galaxy has been updated. The new version is 0.7.0. Along with this, we are changing the role name from mackerel to mackerelio. Please be aware that it will no longer be available under the old name.

Also with this update, check plugin options can be specified. Give it a try.
