7.2.3

Changelog for 7.2.3 (v7-stable)

Version 7.2.3 [v7-stable] 2012-11-21

  • regression fix: rsyslogd terminated when wild-card $IncludeConfig did not
    find actual include files. For example, if this directive is present:
    $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
    and there are no *.conf files in /etc/rsyslog.d (but rsyslog.d exists),
    rsyslogd will emit an error message and terminate. Previous (and expected)
    behaviour is that an empty file set is no problem. HOWEVER, if the
    directory itself does not exist, this is flagged as an error and will
    load to termination (no startup).
    Unfortunately, this is often the case by default in many distros, so this
    actually prevents rsyslog startup.

rsyslog 7.2.3 (v7-stable) released

This is mainly a re-release of 7.2.2 with an important regression fix. Version 7.2.2 caused premature end of config file (and most often rsyslog termination) if an $IncludeConfig directive was done on a wildcard that matched no files. This is a default situation on my distro plain installs. Users are strongly urged to upgrade to 7.2.3. Note that we did not build RPMs for 7.2.2 as we noticed the problem early enough.

Version 7.2.3 is also available as RPM via the Adiscon repository (see http://www.rsyslog.com/rhelcentos-rpms/ ).
