Changelog for 4.6.3 (v4-stable)

adisconteamChangelog,

Version 4.6.3 [v4-stable] (rgerhards), 2010-07-07

  • improvded testbench
  • added test with truly random data received via syslog to test robustness
  • added new configure option that permits to disable and enable an extended testbench
  • bugfix: segfault on HUP when “HUPIsRestart” was set to “on”
    thanks varmojfekoj for the patch
  • bugfix: default for $OMFileFlushOnTXEnd was wrong (“off”).
    This, in default mode, caused buffered writing to be used, what means that it looked like no output were written or partial lines. Thanks to Michael Biebl for pointing out this bug.
  • bugfix: testbench failed when not executed in UTC+1 timezone accidently, the time zone information was kept inside some to-be-checked-for responses
  • temporary bugfix replaced by permanent one for message-induced off-by-one error (potential segfault) (see 4.6.2)
    The analysis has been completed and a better fix been crafted and integrated.
  • some doc fixes; incorrect config samples could cause confusion
    thanks to Anthony Edwards for pointing the problems out

Changelog for 5.5.5 (devel)

adisconteamChangelog, ,

Version 5.5.5 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2010-05-20

  • added new cancel-reduced action thread termination method
    We now manage to cancel threads that block inside a retry loop to terminate without the need to cancel the thread. Avoiding cancellation helps keep the system complexity minimal and thus provides for better stability.
    This also solves some issues with improper shutdown when inside an action retry loop.

rsyslog 5.5.5 (devel) released

adisconteamNews, Release Announcement, ,

Hi all,

We have just released rsyslog 5.5.5, a member of the devel branch. This is a bug-fixing release which contains a single fix that solves a potential hang condition on system shutdown when infinite action retries are configured for an asynchronous action using a queue in disk-assisted mode and the action was suspended. This is probably not a very common case, but a configuration recommended by our doc samples. If you do not use such a configuration, there is no need to update at this time. See Changelog for more details.

rsyslog now available on Sun Solaris

adisconteamNews,

Rsyslog has become the de-facto standard on modern Linux operating systems. It’s high-performance log processing, database integration, modularity and support for multiple logging protocols make it the sysadmin’s logging daemon of choice. The project was started in 2004 and has since then evolved rapidly.

Starting with today, rsyslog is not only available on Linux and BSD, but also on Sun Solaris. Both Intel and Sparc machines are fully supported under Solaris. Depending on operator need, rsyslog can replace stock Solaris syslogd or be used in conjunction with it. The later case provides enhanced rsyslog functionality without the need to change the system infrastructure. Continue reading “rsyslog now available on Sun Solaris”

rsyslog 4.7.2 (v4-devel) released

adisconteamNews, Release Announcement, ,

Hi all,

We have just released rsyslog 4.7.2, a member of the v4-devel branch. 4.7.2 is a bugfixing-release. Its primary bugfix solves problems with atomic instruction emulation. Users who have compiled rsyslog for older CPUs (like Intel 386) or CPUs for which gcc lacks atomic instruction support (like Sparc) are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the new versions. For all others, an update is optional. See Changelog for more details.
