What's New

V0.4 is here with a brand new plugin raxmon-autoscale, check it out in
the documentation above. Along for the ride are a host of improvements,
and fixes. Read the commit log if you have any questions and please
create an issue if you see any regressions.

Upgrading from 0.2

V0.3 is a major change from 0.2 and as such there are many breaking
changes in the configuration file.
Here is what you need to fix to upgrade successfully.

The monitoring information is now a plugin and needs to be moved to the
plugin section. The only monitoring plugin available in 0.2 was raxmon
so you should specify the raxmon plugin and just move the check_type,
check_config, metric_name, thresholds down.
