Changelog for 6.5.0 (v6-devel)

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

Version 6.5.0  [devel] 2012-08-28

  • imrelp now supports non-cancel thread termination
    (but now requires at least librelp 1.0.1)
  • implemented freeCnf() module interface
    This was actually not present in older versions, even though some modules already used it. The implementation was now done, and not in 6.3/6.4 because the resulting memory leak was ultra-slim and the new interface handling has some potential to seriously break things. Not the kind of thing you want to add in late beta state, if avoidable.
  • added –enable-debugless configure option for very high demanding envs
    This actually at compile time disables a lot of debug code, resulting in some speedup (but serious loss of debugging capabilities)
  • added new 0mq plugins (via czmq lib)
    Thanks to David Kelly for contributing these modules
  • bugfix: omhdfs did no longer compile
  • bugfix: SystemLogSocketAnnotate did not work correctly
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch
  • $SystemLogParseTrusted config file option
    Thanks to Milan Bartos for the patch
  • added template config directive
  • added new uuid message property
    Thanks to Jérôme Renard for the idea and patches.
    Note: patches were released under ASL 2.0, see

Changelog for 5.10.0 (v5-stable)

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

Version 5.10.0  [V5-STABLE], 2012-08-23

NOTE: this is the new rsyslog v5-stable, incorporating all changes from the 5.9.x series. In addition to that, it contains the fixes and enhancements listed below in this entry.

  • bugfix: delayble source could block action queue, even if there was a disk queue associated with it. The root cause of this problem was that it makes no sense to delay messages once they arrive in the action queue – the “input” that is being held in that case is the main queue worker, what makes no sense.
    Thanks to Marcin for alerting us on this problem and providing instructions to reproduce it.
  • bugfix: disk queue was not persisted on shutdown, regression of fix to
    http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
    The new code also handles the case of shutdown of blocking light and full delayable sources somewhat smarter and permits, assuming sufficient timouts, to persist message up to the max queue capacity. Also some nits in debug instrumentation have been fixed.
  • add small delay (50ms) after sending shutdown message
    There seem to be cases where the shutdown message is otherwise not processed, not even on an idle system.
    Thanks to Marcin for bringing this problem up.
  • support for resolving huge groups
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310
    Thanks to Alec Warner for the patch
  • bugfix: potential hang due to mutex deadlock
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=316
    Thanks to Andreas Piesk for reporting&analyzing this bug as well as providing patches and other help in resolving it.
  • bugfix: property PROCID empty instead of proper nilvalue if not present
    If it is not present, it must have the nilvalue “-” as of RFC5424
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332
    Thanks to John N for reporting this issue.
  • bugfix: “last message repeated n times” message was missing hostname
    Thanks to Zdenek Salvet for finding this bug and to Bodik for reporting
  • bugfix: multiple main queues with same queue file name was not detected
    This lead to queue file corruption. While the root cause is a config error, it is a bug that this important and hard to find config error was not detected by rsyslog.
