Version 5.9.7 [V5-BETA], 2012-05-10

  • added capability to specify substrings for field extraction mode
  • bugfix: ommysql did not properly init/exit the mysql runtime library
    this could lead to segfaults. Triggering condition: multiple action
    instances using ommysql. Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for reporting this
    problem and providing an initial patch (which my solution is based on,
    I need to add more code to clean the mess up).
  • bugfix: rsyslog did not terminate when delayable inputs were blocked
    due to unvailable sources. Fixes:

    Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre Lorbach
    for helping to reproduce and fix it.

rsyslog 5.9.7 (v5-beta) released

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , ,

This is primarily a bug-fixing release. It also introduces the ability to extract substrings from within property fields. This is a recommended update for all users of the v5-beta branch. It will probably turn into the next v5-stable soon, so everyone is encouraged to give this version a try in order to iron out any remaining bugs.

Changelog for 5.8.11 (v5-stable)

Version 5.8.11  [V5-stable] 2012-05-03

  • bugfix: ommysql did not properly init/exit the mysql runtime library this could lead to segfaults. Triggering condition: multiple action instances using ommysql.  Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for reporting this problem and providing an initial patch (which my solution is based on, I need to add more code to clean the mess up).
  • bugfix: rsyslog did not terminate when delayable inputs were blocked due to unvailable sources. Fixes:
    http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
    Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre Lorbach for helping to reproduce and fix it.
  • bugfix: active input in “light delay state” could block rsyslog termination, at least for prolonged period of time
  • bugfix: imptcp input name could not be set. Config directive was accepted, but had no effect
  • bugfix: assigned ruleset was lost when using disk queues
    This looked quite hard to diagnose for disk-assisted queues, as the pure memory part worked well, but ruleset info was lost for messages stored inside the disk queue.
  • bugfix: hostname was not requeried on HUP
    Thanks to Per Jessen for reporting this bug and Marius Tomaschewski for his help in testing the fix.
  • bugfix: inside queue.c, some thread cancel states were not correctly reset. While this is a bug, we assume it did have no practical effect because the reset as it was done was set to the state the code actually had at this point. But better fix this…

rsyslog 6.3.8 (v6-devel) released

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

This is an important new release of the rsyslog v6 devel branch. Among others, it is the version that supports many of the new things done for project lumberjack, better cee-enhanced syslog support as well as a much-improved mongodb driver. The release also contains numerous other enhancements as well as bug-fixes. Please note that part of the feature set is still experimental and unstable in a sense that interfaces or similar thing “taken for granted” (e.g. the default MongoDB schema) may change in later releases.

As a preliminary measure, please make sure you are using the most current versions of libee (0.4.1), libestr (0.1.2) and liblognorm (0.3.4).
