Install rsyslog on Ubuntu

https://www.ubuntu.com/

The Adiscon Ubuntu Repository has been setup to provide the latest rsyslog versions on Ubuntu including necessary third party packages.

We support those Ubuntu versions that have not yet reached end of life as of Ubuntu policy. For some Ubuntu versions beyond end of life, we may have packages in the PPA, but these may disappear at any instant and are not supported at all.

An overview of the currently available packages can be found here: Launchpad PPA

To install rsyslog on Ubuntu execute this from a terminal window:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adiscon/v8-devel
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rsyslog

Packages for debug symbols:

Open file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adiscon-ubuntu-v8-devel-xenial.list
Edit first line to: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/adiscon/v8-devel/ubuntu xenial main/debug
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rsyslog-dbgsym

If you prefer to run the scheduled stable build use:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adiscon/v8-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rsyslog

Note: the scheduled stable build is cut every 6 weeks from the daily stable build.

rsyslog 7.2.3 (v7-stable) released

adisconteamNews, Release Announcement, , , ,

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/ ).

Adiscon SupportNews, Release Announcement, , , , , ,

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

adisconteamNews, Release Announcement, , , , , , , ,

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.
