RSyslog Windows Agent 4.1 Released

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

Adiscon is proud to announce the 4.1 release of MonitorWare Agent.

Rsyslog Windows Agent is now able to reload it’s configuration automatically if enabled (Which is done by the configuration client
automatically on first start). It is not necessary to restart the service manually anymore.

Performance enhancing options have been added into EventLog Monitor V1 and V2 and in File Monitor to delay writing the last record/fileposition back to disk. This can incease performance on machines with a very high eventlog or file load.

Detailed information can be found in the version history below.

Build-IDs: Service 4.1.0.166, Client 4.1.0.246

Features

  • Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.2k.
  • Configuration Reload: This is a big new core feature allowing the
    service to reload itself automatically after a configuration changed has
    been detected. The feature can be turned off in General-General Options if
    this new behavior is not wanted. By default auto reload will be enabled.
    The latest Configuration Client is required for the feature to fully work.
  • EventLog Monitor V2: Added new options to delay LastRecord save.
    Enabling this option will improve processing performance of machines with
    a high event volume.
  • EventLog Monitor V1: Added new option to delay LastRecord save. Enabling
    this option will improve processing performance of machines with a high
    event volume.
  • File Monitor: Added new option to delay LastFilePosition save. Enabling
    this option will improve processing performance when processing large
    growing files.
  • FileConfig: Changed datafile saving method, more reliable when the
    service is stopped unintentionally while updating data state files.
  • Send Syslog Action: Added new option to enable/disable UTF8 BOM. Default
    is enabled like before, but it can be disabled now by configuration so the
    message won’t contain the UTF8 BOM.

Bugfixes

  • Property Engine: Fixed SystemID and CustomerID properties.v
  • FileConfig: Due a missing property (FilterVersion), some of the global
    conditions in rule filters could not be used. This automatically fixes
    itself next time the configuration is saved with the Client.
  • Debug Logging: Completely rewritten debug output for Rule Engine
    (Filters) for better readability and analysis.
  • Fixed an compatibility issue on Windows 2003/XP (failed to start because
    WSAPoll API is missing).
  • FileConfig: Fixed an issue with invalid linefeeds when using includefile
    directive.
  • FileConfig: Fixed EnumRegkey emulation causing EventLog Monitor Services
    to load invalid eventlog channels.
  • Debug Logging: Moved RELP Debugging from minimal to internal
  • FileMonitor: Fixed issue rewriting filepointer updates each time when
    wildcards support was enabled.

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

We have released rsyslog 8.24.0.

This first release for 2017 brings a lot of changes. Most are detail enhancements for different modules. The biggest change is probably, that rsyslog now builds on the AIX platform.  Also 8.24.0 has two new message modification modules, which might be worth checking out. And a very useful addition is the ability to bind imudp and omfwd to a specific device.

rsyslog 8.23.0 (v8-stable) released

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

We have released rsyslog 8.23.0.

This release is packed with changes and enhancements. One of the most interesting might be the removal of the SHA2-224 hash algorithm for KSI signatures. This is considered insecure and is no longer supported by the KSI library. Also notable are the changes to imfile, omfile and omelasticsearch, among lots of others. Please take a look at the Changelog for a full overview.

Note: We delayed the next release by two weeks to the Jan 10, so we don’t have to deal with a release around the Christmas holidays. This also means that 8.23.0 is the final release for 2016.

Additionaly, the TLS syslog error messages have been improved, as well as the robustness of the queue subsystem.

libfastjson 0.99.3 released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged ,

We have released libfastjson 0.99.3.

This is a new fork of the json-c library, which is optimized for liblognorm processing.

The changes are mostly for cleanup purposes. Also some bug have been fixed, like a potential segfault issue, “make distcheck” not working and more.

Changelog:

0.99.3 2016-07-11
– new dependency: autoconf-archive
– exit() is no longer called in unexpected situations
The previous code called exit on some occasions and did not
give the caller a chance to do any cleanup or handling on
it’s own. This has completely been removed. Note that it was
very unlikely that this problem affected a caller, as exit()
was only called under very rare circumstances (e.g. OOM).
– fjson_version now returns configure VERSION
This avoid inconsistency.
– removal of Windows and Android bits
Thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch.
– fixes of the build system
Thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch.
– dropped support for Windows and Android as we do not target
these platforms
– “make distcheck” now works
– fix invalid Unicode representation for some non US-ASCII
characters when printed as string. Note that this could
potentially also lead to a segfault
