6.5.1

Changelog for 6.5.1 (v6-beta)

Version 6.5.1 [BETA] 2012-10-11

  • added tool “logctl” to handle lumberjack logs in MongoDB
  • imfile ported to new v6 config interface
  • imfile now supports config parameter for maximum number of submits
    which is a fine-tuning parameter in regard to input baching
  • added pure JSON output plugin parameter passing mode
  • ommongodb now supports templates
  • bugfix: imtcp could abort on exit due to invalid free()
  • bugfix: remove invalid socket option call from imuxsock
    Thanks to Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn and Jonny Törnbom
  • bugfix: missing support for escape sequences in RainerScript
    only \’ was supported. Now the usual set is supported. Note that v5
    used \x as escape where x was any character (e.g. “\n” meant “n” and NOT
    LF). This also means there is some incompatibility to v5 for well-know
    sequences. Better break it now than later.
  • bugfix: small memory leaks in template() statements
    these were one-time memory leaks during startup, so they did NOT grow
    during runtime
  • bugfix: config validation run did not always return correct return state
  • bugfix: config errors did not always cause statement to fail
    This could lead to startup with invalid parameters.

rsyslog 6.5.1 (v6-beta) released

This is the new v6-beta, which includes the full v6-subset of the new config language as well as somewhat improved support for lumberjack/CEE. This version concludes development efforts for v6.

Note that it is recommended to use v7 if you do not have any special need for v6.
