Velocity2.5

Real-time monitoring and alerting system with agentless probes

hertzbeat.apache.org ↗

A monitoring project whose public release feed skips the release that mattered.

◆Current state
HertzBeat's tracked entries cover four release candidates, and the record is patchy — v1.7.1 through v1.7.3 in mid-2025 carry no notes beyond a merge commit or a signoff line, then an eleven-month gap to v1.9.0-rc1 in July 2026. The 1.8.0 release never appears in the feed at all despite v1.9.0-rc1's own changelog referencing 1.8.0 documentation and download page updates, so this record is missing a version. What v1.9.0-rc1 does show is a split of hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules, monitoring template fixes and broad internationalization work.
◆Where it's heading
The visible direction is structural cleanup rather than new monitoring coverage — separating framework-agnostic code from Spring-specific code is the kind of refactor a project does when it wants the core embeddable elsewhere. The internationalization work and Apache graduation blog point at a project investing in the things that widen a contributor base. The revert of MongoDB user account metrics within the same candidate suggests new collectors still land unevenly.
◆Prediction
Expect the common module split to continue and MongoDB account metrics to return once the issue behind the revert is resolved. The missing 1.8.0 entry is a feed gap worth confirming before treating the eleven-month silence as real.

    Common module split into core and Spring; i18n work lands

    The 1.9.0 candidate splits hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules, fixes Prometheus history charts in the Favorites tab and template name mismatches, and adds internationalization across the interface. MongoDB user account metrics were added and reverted within the same candidate.

    Docs update and Apache graduation blog post

    A release candidate whose only recorded content is a documentation update and a graduation blog post — the notable fact is the Apache graduation it announces, not the release itself. No product change is described.

    Version bump candidate with no recorded changes

    A version-bump candidate with a signoff line and nothing else on record. One of several releases in this feed that document only that a release happened.

    Candidate tag containing only a branch merge

    A candidate tag whose entire content is a branch merge message. Contentless by the project's own record, and typical of how the 1.7.x candidates were published.
