ChangeLog for 3.21.3 (devel)

Version 3.21.3 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-08-13

• added ability to specify flow control mode for imuxsock
• added ability to execute actions only after the n-th call of the action
  This also lead to the addition of two new config directives:
  $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTime and $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTimeTimeout
  This feature is useful, for example, for alerting: it permits you to
  send an alert only after at least n occurences of a specific message
  have been seen by rsyslogd. This protectes against false positives
  due to waiting for additional confirmation.

• bugfix: IPv6 addresses could not be specified in forwarding actions
  New syntax @[addr]:port introduced to enable that. Root problem was IPv6
  addresses contain colons.

• somewhat enhanced debugging messages
• imported from 3.18.3:
  • enhanced ommysql to support custom port to connect to server
    Port can be set via new $ActionOmmysqlServerPort config directive
    Note: this was a very minor change and thus deemed appropriate to be
    done in the stable release.

  • bugfix: misspelled config directive, previously was
    $MainMsgQueueWorkeTimeoutrThreadShutdown, is now
    $MainMsgQueueWorkerTimeoutThreadShutdown. Note that the misspelled
    directive is not preserved – if the misspelled directive was used
    (which I consider highly unlikely), the config file must be changed.
    Thanks to lperr for reporting the bug.
