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/ ).
