rsyslog 8.1.4 (v8-devel) released

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

We have just released 8.1.4 of the v8-devel branch.

This release adds the capability to set a variable based on a template. It also adds KEEPALIVE support to the RELP modules (which now require librelp 1.2.2+ for this reason). It also adds some usability enhancements and bug fixes.

Note that this release can be considered a “normal” devel version, with moderate risk associated to it. Experience in the past weeks suggest so. Special thanks to Pavel Levshin for all his work and tests. Still note that there is a considerably higher risk running the devel version than the stable one.

Changelog for 8.1.4 (v8-devel)

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

Version 8.1.4 [devel] 2014-01-10

  • add exec_template() RainerScript function
  • imrelp: support for TCP KEEPALIVE added
  • bumped librelp dependency to 1.2.2 to support new KEEPALIVE feature
  • Add directives for numerically specifying GIDs/UIDs
    The already present directives (FileOwner, FileGroup, DirOwner, DirGroup) translate names to numerical IDs, which depends on the user information being available during rsyslog’s startup. This can fail if the information is obtained over a network or from a service such as SSSD. The new directives provide a way to specify the numerical IDs directly and bypass the lookup.
    Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
  • bugfix: action commitTransaction() processing did not properly handle suspended actions
  • bugfix: omelasticsearch fail.es stats counter was improperly maitained

rsyslog 7.5.8 (v7-devel) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , ,
This is a candidate for the 7.6.0 release. As such, it is probably the last v7-devel release. It contains a select few enhancements, with very limited bug potential as well as some bug fixes.

Users are suggested to try out this versions and report errors. If we don’t learn of serious problems, we will most probably release 7.6.0 next week based on this code here.

More detailed information is available in the changelog.

Changelog for 7.5.8 (v7-devel)

Version 7.5.8 [v7-release candidate] 2014-01-09

  • add exec_template() RainerScript function
  • add debug.onShutdown and debug.logFile global paramters
    These enebale the new “debug on shutdown” mode, which can be used to track hard to find problems that occur during system shutdown.
  • Add directives for numerically specifying GIDs/UIDs
    The already present directives (FileOwner, FileGroup, DirOwner, DirGroup) translate names to numerical IDs, which depends on the user information being available during rsyslog’s startup. This can fail if the information is obtained over a network or from a service such as SSSD. The new directives provide a way to specify the numerical IDs directly and bypass the lookup.
    Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
  • actions now report if they suspend and resume themselves
    this is by default on and controllable by the action.reportSuspension global parameter
  • bugfix: omelasticsearch fail.es stats counter was improperly maintained
  • bugfix: mmrfc5424addhmac: “key” parameter was not properly processed
  • add new impstats action counters:
    •   * suspended
    •   * suspended.duration
    •   * resumed

Changelog for 7.4.8 (v7-stable)

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

Version 7.4.8  [v7.4-stable] 2014-01-08

  • rsgtutil provides better error messages on unfinished signature blocks
  • bugfix: guard against control characters in internal (error) messages
    Thanks to Ahto Truu for alerting us.
  • bugfix: immark did emit messages under kern.=info instead of syslog.=info
    Note that his can potentially break exisiting configurations that rely on immark sending as kern.=info. Unfortunately, we cannot leave this unfixed as we never should emit messages under the kern facilit

Changelog for 7.4.7 (v7-stable)

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

Version 7.4.7  [v7.4-stable] 2013-12-10

  • bugfix: limiting queue disk space did not work properly
    •   queue.maxdiskspace actually initializes queue.maxfilesize
    •   total size of queue files was not checked against queue.maxdiskspace for disk assisted queues.

    Thanks to Karol Jurak for the patch.

  • bugfix: linux kernel-like ratelimiter did not work properly with all inputs (for example, it did not work with imdup). The reason was that the PRI value was used, but that needed parsing of the message, which was done too late.
  • bugfix: disk queues created files in wrong working directory if the $WorkDirectory was changed multiple times, all queues only used the last value set.
  • bugfix: legacy directive $ActionQueueWorkerThreads was not honored
  • bugfix: segfault on startup when certain script constructs are used
    e.g. “if not $msg …”
  • bugfix: imuxsock: UseSysTimeStamp config parameter did not work correctly
    Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for alerting us and provinding a solution suggestion.
  • bugfix: $SystemLogUseSysTimeStamp/$SystemLogUsePIDFromSystem did not work
    Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
  • improved checking of queue config parameters on startup
  • bugfix: call to ruleset with async queue did not use the queue
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443
  • bugfix: if imtcp is loaded and no listeners are configured (which is uncommon), rsyslog crashes during shutdown.
