CHANGELOG.md

v1.6 [unreleased]

Release Notes

• The mysql input plugin has been updated to convert values to the correct data type. This may cause a field type error when inserting into InfluxDB due the change of types. It is recommended to drop the mysql, mysql_variables, and mysql_innodb:

  DROP MEASUREMENT mysql
  DROP MEASUREMENT mysql_variables
  DROP MEASUREMENT mysql_innodb

• 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 deprectated and will be removed in a future version.
