rsyslog 8.31.0 (v8-stable) released

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

Today, we release rsyslog 8.31. This is probably one of the biggest releases in the past couple of years. While it also offers great new functionality, what really important about it is the focus on further improved software quality. For a more detailed description, please read Rainer’s blog post. Detailed information about the huge list of changes is available in the changelog.

http://blog.gerhards.net/2017/11/rsyslog-831-important-release.html

The packages have received some notable changes as well. First off, we were able to implement the Redis output module as a separate package on Ubuntu 14.04 and newer. Also there was a dependency change for the ommongo module, thus it is now only available on Ubuntu 16.04 or newer, but not on CentOS/RHEL anymore. Platform restrictions are unavoidable right now due to dependency availability.

Changelog for 8.9.0 (v8-stable)

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

Version 8.9.0 [v8-stable] 2015-04-07

  • omprog: add option “hup.forward” to forwards HUP to external plugins
    This was suggested by David Lang so that external plugins (and other
    programs) can also do HUP-specific processing. The default is not
    to forward HUP, so no change of behavior by default.
  • imuxsock: added capability to use regular parser chain
    Previously, this was a fixed format, that was known to be spoken on
    the system log socket. This also adds new parameters:

    • sysSock.useSpecialParser module parameter
    • sysSock.parseHostname module parameter
    • useSpecialParser input parameter
    • parseHostname input parameter
  • 0mq: improvements in input and output modules
    See module READMEs, part is to be considered experimental.
    Thanks to Brian Knox for the contribution.
  • imtcp: add support for ip based bind for imtcp -> param “address”
    Thanks to github user crackytsi for the patch.
  • bugfix: MsgDeserialize out of sync with MsgSerialize for StrucData
    This lead to failure of disk queue processing when structured data was
    present. Thanks to github user adrush for the fix.
  • bugfix imfile: partial data loss, especially in readMode != 0
    closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/144
  • bugfix: potential large memory consumption with failed actions
    see also https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/253
  • bugfix: omudpspoof: invalid default send template in RainerScript format
    The file format template was used, which obviously does not work for
    forwarding. Thanks to Christopher Racky for alerting us.
    closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/268
  • bugfix: size-based legacy config statements did not work properly
    on some platforms, they were incorrectly handled, resulting in all
    sorts of “interesting” effects (up to segfault on startup)
  • build system: added option –without-valgrind-testbench
    … which provides the capability to either enforce or turn off
    valgrind use inside the testbench. Thanks to whissi for the patch.
  • rsyslogd: fix misleading typos in error messages
    Thanks to Ansgar Püster for the fixes.

Changelog for 7.5.1 (v7-devel)

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

Version 7.5.1 [devel] 2013-06-26

  • librelp 1.1.3 is required – older versions can lead to a segfault
  • add mmfields, which among others supports easy parsing of CEF messages
  • omrelp:
    * new parameter “compression.prioritystring” to control encryption parameters used by GnuTLS
  • imrelp:
    * new parameter “compression.dhbits” to control the number of bits being used for Diffie-Hellman key generation
    * new parameter “compression.prioritystring” to control encryption parameters used by GnuTLS
    * support for impstats added
    * support for setting permitted peers (client authentication) added
    * bugfix: potential segfault at startup on invalid config parameters
  • imjournal: imported patches from 7.4.1
  • omprog: add support for command line parameters
  • added experimental TCP stream compression (imptcp only, currently)
  • added BSD-specific syslog facilities
    * “console”
    * “bsd_security” – this is called “security” under BSD, but that name was unfortunately already taken by some standard facility. So I did the (hopefully) second-best thing and renamed it a little.
  • imported fixes from 7.4.2 (especially build problems on FreeBSD)
  • bugfix: imptcp did not properly initialize compression status variable could lead to segfault if stream:always compression mode was selected

Changelog for 6.2.1 (v6-stable)

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , , , , , , ,

Version 6.2.1 [v6-stable], 2012-05-10

  • change plugin config interface to be compatible with pre-v6.2 system
    The functionality was already removed (because it is superseeded by the
    v6.3+ config language), but code was still present. I have now removed
    those parts that affect interface. Full removal will happen in v6.3, in
    order to limit potential regressions. However, it was considered useful
    enough to do the interface change in v6-stable; this also eases merging
    branches!
  • re-licensed larger parts of the codebase under the Apache license 2.0
  • bugfix: omprog made rsyslog abort on startup if not binary to
    execute was configured
  • bugfix: imklog invalidly computed facility and severity
    closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=313
  • bugfix: stopped DA queue was never processed after a restart due to a
    regression from statistics module
  • bugfix: memory leak in array passing output module mode
  • bugfix: ommysql did not properly init/exit the mysql runtime library
    this could lead to segfaults. Triggering condition: multiple action
    instances using ommysql. Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for reporting this
    problem and providing an initial patch (which my solution is based on,
    I need to add more code to clean the mess up).
  • bugfix: rsyslog did not terminate when delayable inputs were blocked
    due to unvailable sources. Fixes:
    http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
    Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre Lorbach
    for helping to reproduce and fix it.
  • bugfix/tcpflood: sending small test files did not work correctly

rsyslog 5.8.8 (v5-stable) released

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

This is a bug-fixing release. It fixes the wrong computed facility and severity in imklog and a problem with rsyslog aborting on startup if no binary to execute was configured for omprog.
