Hello. Mackerel team CRE Inoue (
id:a-know) here with another update announcement.
Alert status can now be selected when an alert occurs with host connectivity monitors
Among the various monitors that can be configured with Mackerel, ‘Host connectivity monitoring’ can detect when metric transmission from the agent (mackerel-agent) gets interrupted and issues an alert. However up until now, the status of this alert was fixed to critical. With this update, it is now possible to choose the status of an alert when it occurs.
Some users may not even be aware of host connectivity monitoring due to the fact that it’s already configured from the get-go. We recommend reviewing the page linked below.
New obtainable metrics added for AWS/RDS Integration
With this update, now up to 52 metrics are available for RDS Aurora, up to 51 for Aurora Serverless, and up to 24 metrics are available for other services. Be sure to check out the differences detailed in the link below. Also, please note that some metrics are supported for certain database engines while others may not.
OSS Updates

A bug in mackerel-plugin-linux that prevented some OS versions (Debian 10 / RHEL 8 / Ubuntu 20.04) from retrieving disk stats was fixed.

In check-log, {} is now supported for --file option specification (glob format). It is now possible to specify commands like the one below.
