rsyslog 8.2.1 (v8-stable) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on April 17, 2014Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 8.2.1, bugfix, doc, documentation, json-c, mmutf8fix, release, rsyslog, stable, v8

We have just released 8.2.1 of the v8-stable branch.

This release permits to build against json-c 0.12. Due to the ABI breckage, this is necessary. Json-c versions prior to 0.12 had security issues, so this is desirable. At least some distros have fixed the security issue in older versions of json-c, so this seems to apply mostly when building from sources.

Additionaly, the doc is no longer shipped as part of the rsyslog tarball to allow de-coupled release cycles.

Introducing the rsyslog config builder tool

By Adiscon SupportPosted on April 7, 2014Posted in News, Top NewsTagged config builder, rsyslog

Wouldn’t it be great if we had an interactive tool that permitted it novices to build complex rsyslog configurations interactively? Without any need to understand the inner workings or even terminology? Indeed, that would not only be great, but in our opinion also remove a lot of pressure that we have on rsyslog’s documentation part.

In the light of this, we started to work on a tool called the “rsyslog configuration builder“. An initial preview goes life right now today and we invite everyone to play with it. The initial version is hopefully already useful for many cases. However, the primary intent is to gather community feedback, reactions and further suggestions.

The initial version has a restricted set of supported inputs and outputs, as well as other constructs. It works with rsyslog v7.6 and above. The tool can be used anonymously and configurations are kept during the session, with the session timeout being a couple of hours. So that should be a fair amount of time to build your config. For the future, we plan to permit saving the config when logged in into the site. That way, you can work multiple days on a single configuration.

We have many more enhancements on our mind, but first of all we would like to get your feedback. You can provide feedback any way you like, but we would be extremely happy if you post either to the rsyslog mailing list or create an issue in the rsyslog website’s github project.

rsyslog 8.2.0 (v8-stable) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on April 2, 2014Posted in News, Release Announcement, Top NewsTagged 8.2.0, bugfix, Changelog, doc, gnutls, liblogging-stdlog, omelasticsearch, ompipe, rsyslog, stable, v8

This is the first release of the greatly improved version 8 of rsyslog. Large parts of the core engine have been rewritten in order to support even greater performance and newly things like global variable support in RainerScript. The new engine is the foundation for the next couple of years of rsyslog technology. As another major design feature, an interface for external plugins has been added. Version 8.2 supports external output plugins, but external message modification and input plugins are also schedule to appear soon.

With the release of version 8, 7.6 is being as officially supported stable. However, we will support 7.6 for some while. So there is no urgent need to upgrade to v8.

LibLogging 1.0.2 released

By Rainer GerhardsPosted on March 3, 2014Posted in 1.0.2Tagged liblogging

liblogging 1.0.2 [download]

We have released liblogging 1.0.2.

This is the first release with a basically feature-complete liblogging-stdlog component. It is an enhanced replacement for the syslog(3) API which supports multiple channels, signal-safeness, and logging drivers for syslog, the systemd journal, unix sockets, and files. While this version is suitable for use with applications, we still invite comments and code reviews.

The man page for the standard logging library is available at
https://github.com/rsyslog/liblogging/blob/master/stdlog/stdlog.rst

Please report issues and feature requests to
https://github.com/rsyslog/liblogging/issues

Feedback of any kind is highly appreciated.

Note: if the journal driver is to be build (enabled by default), a new dependency libsystemd-journal exists. This is the required to use the journal API. You can turn off building the journal driver via the –disable-journal configure option.
