rsyslog 7.5.6 (v7-devel) released

This version contains new features and bug fixes. Most importantly, it contains a new module “mmsequence” (contributed by Pavel Levshin) which permits action load balancing. Also, variable access has been totally refactored and its processing speed improved. Note that this refactoring has some additional bug potential, so watch your system closely after the upgrade. Support for global variables has been removed, as the idea did not work out properly with the current core engine version and resulted in very unintuitive results (most folks would them simply call “wrong”…).
More detailed information is available in the changelog.

rsyslog 7.5.5 (v7-devel) released

This release offers some important bug fixes and exciting new features. Most importantly, imudp can now use multiple input threads for even higher UDP input throughput. And imfile now longer has a hardcoded limit on the number of files that can be monitored. You can now monitor as many files as you like. Support for setting default timezones has been added to imptcp and imudp, but is still in experimental state (but feel free to use it if it suits you!). More detailed information is available in the changelog.

rsyslog 7.5.4 (v7-devel) released

This release offers some interesting features. It provides a new module called mmpstrucdata to parse RFC5424 structured data into json message properties. Also the default queue.size values have been altered to more suitable values. Omfwd and omfile received new parameters and we changed a bigger portion of the documentation to improve usability by linking relevant web ressources to quickly find additional information. Finally, there have been a few other changes and bugfixes.

More detailed information is available in the changelog.

rsyslog 7.5.1 (v7-devel) released
