Version 8.1.6 [devel] 2014-02-20

  • omfile: permit to set global defaults for action parameters
    Thanks to Nathan Brown for the patch.
    See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/23
  • add capability to escape control characters in the C way of doing it
    adds new global parameter “parser.escapeControlCharactersCStyle”
    Thanks to Nathan Brown for the patch.
    See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/13
  • parser global parameters can now be set using RainerScript global()
    Thanks to Nathan Brown for the patch.
    See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/23
  • omprog: guard program-to-be-executed against CTL-C
    This can frequently happen in debug mode, where rsyslog is terminated
    by ctl-c. In any case, SIGINT is not meant to control the child process,
    so it should be blocked.
  • omprog bugfix: parameter “forceSingleInstance” is NOT mandatory
  • add new jsonr property replacer option
    Thanks to Nathan Brown for the patch.
  • added external plugin interface
  • ommongodb: add authentication support (untested)
    Thanks to JT for the patch.
    See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/17
  • bugfix: json templates are improperly created
    Strings miss the terminating NUL character, which obviously can lead
    to all sorts of problems.
    See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/27
    Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
  • ompgsql bugfix: improper handling of auto-backgrounding mode
    If rsyslog was set to auto-background itself (default code behaviour, but
    many distros now turn it off for good reason), ompgsql could not
    properly connect. This could even lead to a segfault. The core reason
    was that a PG session handle was kept open over a fork, something that
    is explicitely forbidden in the PG API.
    Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
  • bugfix: ommongodb’s template parameter was mandatory but should have
    been optional
    Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
  • bugfix: end of batch processing was not 100% correct. Could lead to
    outputs not properly wirting messages. At least omelasticsearch did not
    write anything to the database due to this bug.
    See: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/10
    Thanks to Radu Gheorghe for reporting the issue.

rsyslog 7.6.0 (v7-stable) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , , , , , ,

This is the first release of rsyslog 7.6 in the v7-stable branch. Since 7.4 a lot of new functions have found their way into rsyslog. With 7.6 being the successor of the 7.5 development branch, everything that has been added there has now found its way into the stable version. The major additions consist of

  • imrelp/omrelp now support TLS & (zip) compression
  • impstats is now emitting resource usage counters, can directly emit delta values and can now be bound to a ruleset
  • mmpstrucdata is a new module to parse RFC5424 structured data into JSON message properties
  • mmutf8fix is a new module to fix invalid UTF-8 sequences
  • mmsequence is a new module that helps with action load balancing
  • new defaults for main/ruleset queues to be more enterprise-like

Also the new stable version has undergone a lot of bug fixes, performance improvements and optimizations that make rsyslog 7.6 a lot more reliable and performing than before. Also, requirements have changed a little. For rsyslog 7.6 you now require librelp 1.1.4 and libestr 0.1.7 due to major fixes.

More detailed information is available in the ChangeLog.

Changelog for 7.6.0 (v7-stable)

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , , , , ,

Version 7.6.0 [v7.6-stable] 2014-01-??
This starts a new stable branch based on 7.5.8 plus the following changes:

  • bugfix: imuxsock input parameters were not accepted due to copy&paste error.
    Thanks to Andy Goldstein for the fix.
  • added ProcessInternalMessages global system parameter
    This permits to inject rsyslog status messages into *another* main syslogd or the journal.
  • new dependency: liblogging-stdlog (for submitting to external logger)
  • bugfix: json templates are improperly created
    Strings miss the terminating NUL character, which obviously can lead to all sorts of problems.
    See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/27
    Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
  • ompgsql bugfix: improper handling of auto-backgrounding mode
    If rsyslog was set to auto-background itself (default code behaviour, but many distros now turn it off for good reason), ompgsql could not properly connect. This could even lead to a segfault. The core reason was that a PG session handle was kept open over a fork, something that is explicitely forbidden in the PG API.
    Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
