### Release Notes
### New Inputs
- [tengine](./plugins/inputs/tengine/README.md) - Contirbuted by @ertaoxu
### Features
- [#4236](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/4236): Add SSL/TLS support to redis input.

## v1.7.1 [unreleased]
### Bugfixes
- [#4277](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/4277): Treat sigterm as a clean shutdown signal.
### Release Notes
- The `cassandra` input plugin has been deprecated in favor of the `jolokia2`
input plugin which is much more configurable and more performant. There is
an [example configuration](./plugins/inputs/jolokia2/examples) to help you
get started.
- For plugins supporting TLS, you can now specify the certificate and keys
using `tls_ca`, `tls_cert`, `tls_key`. These options behave the same as
the, now deprecated, `ssl` forms.

- The `mysql` input plugin has been updated fix a number of type convertion
issues. This may cause a `field type error` when inserting into InfluxDB due
the change of types.
To address this we have introduced a new `metric_version` option to control
enabling the new format. For in depth recommendations on upgrading please
reference the [mysql plugin documentation](./plugins/inputs/mysql/README.md#metric-version).
It is encouraged to migrate to the new model when possible as the old version
is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
- The `postgresql` plugins now defaults to using a persistent connection to the database.
In environments where TCP connections are terminated the `max_lifetime`
setting should be set less than the collection `interval` to prevent errors.
- The `sqlserver` input plugin has a new query and data model that can be enabled
by setting `query_version = 2`. It is encouraged to migrate to the new
model when possible as the old version is deprecated and will be removed in
- An option has been added to the `openldap` input plugin that reverses metric
name to improve grouping. This change is enabled when `reverse_metric_names = true`
is set. It is encouraged to enable this option when possible as the old
ordering is deprecated.
- The new `http` input configured with `data_format = "json"` can perform the
same task as the, now deprecated, `httpjson` input.

### Release Notes
- In the `kinesis` output, use of the `partition_key` and
`use_random_partitionkey` options has been deprecated in favor of the
`partition` subtable. This allows for more flexible methods to set the
partition key such as by metric name or by tag.
- With the release of the new improved `jolokia2` input, the legacy `jolokia`
plugin is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Users of this
plugin are encouraged to update to the new `jolokia2` plugin.
- In the `postgresql` and `postgresql_extensible` plugins, the type of the oid
data type has changed from string to integer. It is recommended to drop
affected fields until a new shard is started. For details on how to
workaround this issue please see [#3622](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/3622).

- Users of the windows `ping` plugin will need to drop or migrate their
measurements in order to continue using the plugin. The reason for this is that
the windows plugin was outputting a different type than the linux plugin. This
made it impossible to use the `ping` plugin for both windows and linux
machines.
- Ceph: the `ceph_pgmap_state` metric content has been modified to use a unique field `count`, with each state expressed as a `state` tag.
Telegraf < 1.3:
```
# field_name value
active+clean 123
active+clean+scrubbing 3
```
Telegraf >= 1.3:
```
# field_name value tag
count 123 state=active+clean
count 3 state=active+clean+scrubbing
```
- The [Riemann output plugin](./plugins/outputs/riemann) has been rewritten
and the previous riemann plugin is _incompatible_ with the new one. The reasons
for this are outlined in issue [#1878](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/1878).
The previous riemann output will still be available using
`outputs.riemann_legacy` if needed, but that will eventually be deprecated.
It is highly recommended that all users migrate to the new riemann output plugin.
- Generic [socket_listener](./plugins/inputs/socket_listener) and
[socket_writer](./plugins/outputs/socket_writer) plugins have been implemented
for receiving and sending UDP, TCP, unix, & unix-datagram data. These plugins
will replace udp_listener and tcp_listener, which are still available but will
be deprecated eventually.

- [#2317](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/2317): Fix segfault on nil metrics with influxdb output.
- [#2324](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/2324): Fix negative number handling.
### Features
- [#2348](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/2348): Go version 1.7.4 -> 1.7.5
- The StatsD plugin will now default all "delete_" config options to "true". This
will change te default behavior for users who were not specifying these parameters
in their config file.
- The StatsD plugin will also no longer save it's state on a service reload.
Essentially we have reverted PR [#887](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/pull/887).
The reason for this is that saving the state in a global variable is not
thread-safe (see [#1975](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/1975) & [#2102](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/2102)),
and this creates issues if users want to define multiple instances
of the statsd plugin. Saving state on reload may be considered in the future,
but this would need to be implemented at a higher level and applied to all
plugins, not just statsd.

### Bugfixes
- [#2023](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/2023): Fix issue parsing toml durations with single quotes.
## v1.1.0 [2016-11-07]
- Telegraf now supports two new types of plugins: processors & aggregators.
- On systemd Telegraf will no longer redirect it's stdout to /var/log/telegraf/telegraf.log.
On most systems, the logs will be directed to the systemd journal and can be
accessed by `journalctl -u telegraf.service`. Consult the systemd journal
documentation for configuring journald. There is also a [`logfile` config option](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/etc/telegraf.conf#L70)
available in 1.1, which will allow users to easily configure telegraf to
continue sending logs to /var/log/telegraf/telegraf.log.

### Release Notes
**Breaking Change** The SNMP plugin is being deprecated in it's current form.
There is a [new SNMP plugin](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/tree/master/plugins/inputs/snmp)
which fixes many of the issues and confusions
of its predecessor. For users wanting to continue to use the deprecated SNMP
plugin, you will need to change your config file from `[[inputs.snmp]]` to
`[[inputs.snmp_legacy]]`. The configuration of the new SNMP plugin is _not_
backwards-compatible.
**Breaking Change**: Aerospike main server node measurements have been renamed
aerospike_node. Aerospike namespace measurements have been renamed to
aerospike_namespace. They will also now be tagged with the node_name
that they correspond to. This has been done to differentiate measurements
that pertain to node vs. namespace statistics.
**Breaking Change**: users of github_webhooks must change to the new
`[[inputs.webhooks]]` plugin.
This means that the default github_webhooks config:
```
# A Github Webhook Event collector
