rsyslog 5.5.6 (devel) released

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , ,

Hi all,

We have just released rsyslog 5.5.6, a member of the devel branch.

The new release provides exciting performance enhancements: on multicore-machines it can be many times faster than version 5.5.5 (which already was quite fast). Most importantly, the enhancement provides much better scalability, so adding many additional core gains much more speedup than with any previous version.

A new concept of “strgen” modules has been implemented, which permit to use high speed C code as templates. Also, support for malformed “last message repated n times” messages, as emited by some syslogds, has been added in form of a custom message parser.

There are also a couple of bugfixes and minor improvements.

See ChangeLog for more details.

rsyslog 5.5.5 (devel) released

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , ,

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

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in NewsTagged ,

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”
