rsyslog 6.3.4 (devel) released

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

This release brings bugfixes and further improvements to the rule engine. Most importantly, the (scoped, RainerScript-based) action object is now available. This enables users to get some early experience with the new system’s advanced features. Note that output plugins must support the new system. With this release, omfile and omusrmsg have been upgraded to support it. The next minor releases will bring more output module support for scoped actions.

Documentation for the new capabilities is upcoming at http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/node1.html

Changelog for 5.7.7 (v5-beta)

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , ,

Version 5.7.7  [V5-BETA] (rgerhards), 2011-03-02

  • bugfix: potential abort condition when $RepeatedMsgReduction set to on as well as potentially in a number of other places where MsgDup() was used. This only happened when the imudp input module was used and it depended on name resolution not yet had taken place. In other words, this was a strange problem that could lead to hard to diagnose instability. So if you experience instability, chances are good that this fix will help.
