8.3.4

rsyslog 8.3.4 (v8-devel) released

We have just released 8.3.4 of the v8-devel branch.

This is a somewhat unexpected new 8.3 devel version: thanks to some sponsor, we could work on providing better parsers for Cisco IOS devices as well as some improvements to the general date parser. As we want to integrate this into 8.4, we have decided to release another 8.3 version. Please note that 8.4 stable is still immanent. This version also includes a number of bug fixes.

As always, feedback is appreciated.

Changelog for 8.3.4 (v8-devel)

Version 8.3.4 [v8-devel] 2014-07-11

  • new pmciscoios parser supporting various Cisco IOS formats
  • RFC3164 timestamp parser now accepts timezones and subsecond resolution
    … at least for some common formats and where we could do so without running risk of breaking proper formats (or introducing regressions)
  • new parser config object — permits to define custom parser definitions
  • new tzinfo config object — permits to define time zone offsets
    This is a utility object that currently is being used by some parsers.
  • bugfix: mishandling of input modules not supporting new input instances
    If they did not support this, accidently the output module part of the module union was written, leading to unpredictable results. Note: all core modules do support this interface, but some contributed or very old ones do not.
  • bugfix: double-free when ruleset() parser parameters were used
    While unlikely, this could cause stability issues even after the config phase.
