rsyslog 7.3.5 (v7-devel) released

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

Version 7.3.5 is an update to the development branch. It contains new features: now, ommysql supports batching, which results in overall better system performance. Also, omudpspoof has been enhanced to support fragmentation for large messages. Omudpspoof now also supports the native v7 config format. Lastly, the script optimizer has been enhanced and detects and considerably optimizes some frequently-used constructs (like if $syslogfacility-text == “kernel” and such). Of course, there are also a couple of bug fixes, the most important one addresses a potential segfault that can happen in imuxock.

All users of the 7.3 branch are advised to update to this version.

rsyslog 7.2.3 (v7-stable) released

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

This is mainly a re-release of 7.2.2 with an important regression fix. Version 7.2.2 caused premature end of config file (and most often rsyslog termination) if an $IncludeConfig directive was done on a wildcard that matched no files. This is a default situation on my distro plain installs. Users are strongly urged to upgrade to 7.2.3. Note that we did not build RPMs for 7.2.2 as we noticed the problem early enough.

Version 7.2.3 is also available as RPM via the Adiscon repository (see http://www.rsyslog.com/rhelcentos-rpms/ ).

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

We have just released 7.3.3 of the v7-devel branch. This release most importantly provides increased performance for the disk queue subsystem. Especially CPU-use will be much lower when unspooling disk queues. It also contains all known fixes for v7, some imported from v7-stable and earlier versions.

rsyslog 7.3.2 (v7-devel) released

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

This release introduced a totally new rate-limiting system for all modules as well as much better “last message repeated n times” handling. For details, please see Rainer’s blog at

http://blog.gerhards.net/2012/10/rate-limiting-in-rsyslog-732.html

Besides this feature, the version also includes enhancements for omelasticsearch as well as input batching support for imudp (which should provide some performance boost on very busy systems). Also, action-like statements (call, stop, …) are now supported in action lists. Of course, there are also some bugfixes, many imported from v6 and v7.2.
