rsyslog 8.1.0 (v8-devel) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on November 15, 2013Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 8.1.0, devel, release, rewrite, rsyslog, v8

This is the initial and EXPERIMENTAL release of rsyslog v8. This release contains a rewritten core engine and is expected to perform much better in high performance environments with complex configurations (namely log normalization, Elasticsearch, Databases and remote forwarding).

We release this version in the hopes that interested parties have a look at it and provide feedback (including bug reports). However, it is NOT suitable for production use — for the time being please use rsyslog v7.5 for this.

More details can be found at:

Please be also sure to review the compatibility document:

rsyslog 7.4.6 (v7-stable) released

By adisconteamPosted on October 31, 2013Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 7.4.6, released, rsyslog, stable, v7

We have just released 7.4.6 of the v7-stable branch. This is a bug-fixing release. Most importantly it fixes a bug that can lead to segfault on startup when $syslogfacility-text is used inside rsyslog.conf. V7.4 users are advised to update to this release.

rsyslog 7.5.6 (v7-devel) released

By adisconteamPosted on October 29, 2013Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 7.5.6, bugfix, devel, mmsequence, rsyslog, v7

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

By Adiscon SupportPosted on October 16, 2013Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 7.5.5, bugfix, devel, imfile, imptcp, imudp, libestr, memory leak, mmanon, mmnormalize, release, rsyslog, timezone, v7

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.
