rsyslog 6.3.3 (devel) released

adisconteamNews, Release Announcement, , , , , ,

This is a very important milestone release. It features the new config parser and thus provides the basis for a more intuitive config format. With 6.3.3 there are already some enhancements to the format. However, more changes will come up with the next minor releases. For details, please check this link:

http://www.rsyslog.com/rsyslog-6-3-3-config-format-improvements/

It is worth noting that the performance of script-based filters (“if … then”) has notable been improved. Preliminary benchmarks show an improvement of at least a factor of three (more detailed benchmarks will be done after the new scoped object statements have been introduced).

We would appreciate early adoption of this release. One goal in releasing it is to see if the new parser actually is able to handle all legacy configurations found in practice (note that the parser was written from scratch).

rsyslog 6.3.1 (devel) released

Adiscon SupportNews, Release Announcement, , , ,

This is a first implementation of a full-blown DNS cache. While there were some optimizations for DNS queries in older releases, especially UDP sometimes suffered under slow DNS resolution performance.

This is solved with the new dnscache module. Note that the module will undergo some more enhancements in the next couple of weeks. Feedback on its effect would be deeply appreciated.
