RSyslog Windows Agent 4.1 Released

Adiscon is proud to announce the 4.1 release of MonitorWare Agent.

Rsyslog Windows Agent is now able to reload it’s configuration automatically if enabled (Which is done by the configuration client
automatically on first start). It is not necessary to restart the service manually anymore.

Performance enhancing options have been added into EventLog Monitor V1 and V2 and in File Monitor to delay writing the last record/fileposition back to disk. This can incease performance on machines with a very high eventlog or file load.

Detailed information can be found in the version history below.

Build-IDs: Service 4.1.0.166, Client 4.1.0.246

Features

  • Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.2k.
  • Configuration Reload: This is a big new core feature allowing the
    service to reload itself automatically after a configuration changed has
    been detected. The feature can be turned off in General-General Options if
    this new behavior is not wanted. By default auto reload will be enabled.
    The latest Configuration Client is required for the feature to fully work.
  • EventLog Monitor V2: Added new options to delay LastRecord save.
    Enabling this option will improve processing performance of machines with
    a high event volume.
  • EventLog Monitor V1: Added new option to delay LastRecord save. Enabling
    this option will improve processing performance of machines with a high
    event volume.
  • File Monitor: Added new option to delay LastFilePosition save. Enabling
    this option will improve processing performance when processing large
    growing files.
  • FileConfig: Changed datafile saving method, more reliable when the
    service is stopped unintentionally while updating data state files.
  • Send Syslog Action: Added new option to enable/disable UTF8 BOM. Default
    is enabled like before, but it can be disabled now by configuration so the
    message won’t contain the UTF8 BOM.

Bugfixes

  • Property Engine: Fixed SystemID and CustomerID properties.v
  • FileConfig: Due a missing property (FilterVersion), some of the global
    conditions in rule filters could not be used. This automatically fixes
    itself next time the configuration is saved with the Client.
  • Debug Logging: Completely rewritten debug output for Rule Engine
    (Filters) for better readability and analysis.
  • Fixed an compatibility issue on Windows 2003/XP (failed to start because
    WSAPoll API is missing).
  • FileConfig: Fixed an issue with invalid linefeeds when using includefile
    directive.
  • FileConfig: Fixed EnumRegkey emulation causing EventLog Monitor Services
    to load invalid eventlog channels.
  • Debug Logging: Moved RELP Debugging from minimal to internal
  • FileMonitor: Fixed issue rewriting filepointer updates each time when
    wildcards support was enabled.

Version 4.1 is a free download. Customers with existing 3.x keys can contact our Sales department for upgrade prices.

rsyslog 8.24.0 (v8-stable) released

We have released rsyslog 8.24.0.

And a very useful addition is the ability to bind imudp and omfwd to a specific device.

rsyslog 8.23.0 (v8-stable) released

We have released rsyslog 8.23.0.

This release is packed with changes and enhancements. One of the most interesting might be the removal of the SHA2-224 hash algorithm for KSI signatures.

RSyslog Windows Agent 3.3 Released

Adiscon is proud to announce the 3.3 release of RSyslog Windows Agent.

This is a bugfixing release with minor feature update.

Most importantly, the Adiscon SNMP MIB now supports messages sizes up to 64k (previous limit was 255 characters). The OpenSSL Library has been updated to 1.0.2h. Bugs were fixed primarily in RELP and syslog forwarding processing. For details please see the change log.

Detailed information can be found in the version history below.

Build-IDs: Service 3.3.152, Client 3.3.235

Features

  • Components:
    • OpenSSL library updated to 1.0.2h.
  • Adiscon SNMP Mib:
    • Changed DisplayString limit from 255 characters to 65536. Now, strings above 255 characters can be send using the adiscon mibs.

Bugfixes

  • Send Syslog Action:
    • Fixed an issue with the “Disable processing, forward as it is” Option. RawSyslogMsg property is used instead of msg property.
  • Send Relp Action:
    • Fixed an issue in the Session Close shutdown procedure which could lead to leaking sessions on Relp Servers.
    • Send Relp Action: Fixed an issue setting a proper status on failure.
    • Fixed a problem handling socket failures.
  • Event Monitor V2:
    • Dynamic properties could break XML format if they contained spaces in their name. Spaces and control characters are now properly replaced with underscores.
  • Relp Listener:
    • Fixed Socketsystem startup if only one Relp Listener Service was configured without any other network related services.
  • Syslog Server:
    • Fixed an issue relaying the priority / facility properties on Syslog Forward. The prifac property was not properly recreated if the message source was Syslog.
    • Fixed an issue with RFC5424 header parsing which partially parsed invalid formatted syslog messages. This broke the original message.
    • Fixed a parsing issue (TCP Protocol only) when the syslog header was missing. When the first characters were a number, TCP Syslog tried to detect octet framing. This failed but the beginning characters of the message were lost. Also octet framing was not disabled resulting in unexpected endings of the message.
    • Fixed an issue with RFC 3164 Syslog Header parsing when “take syslog source from msg” is enabled.
  • Property Replacer:
    • Date related options are now evaluated before and after the property is truncated. But only if a match before the string truncation was not successful.

Version 3.3 is a free download. Customers with existing 2.x keys can contact our Sales department for upgrade prices. If you have a valid Upgrade Insurance ID, you can request a free new key by sending your Upgrade Insurance ID to sales@adiscon.com. Please note that the download enables the free 30-day trial version if used without a key – so you can right now go ahead and evaluate it.
