rsyslog 7.6.1 (v7-stable) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on March 13, 2014Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 7.6.1, bugfix, release, rsyslog, stable, v7

This version is the first bug-fixing release for 7.6. In addition to bugfixes, it also offers some new, unintrusive, features. Most importantly, the way action suspension and resumption messages can now be configured on a finger grain basis. The action naming has been improved and kept consistent and imjournal can now better handle invalid entries in systemd journal.

This releases is a recommended update for all users of the 7.6 branch.

Note that now librelp 1.2.3 is required as we process it’s new error codes emitted when librelp does not support TLS.

rsyslog 7.6.0 (v7-stable) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on February 12, 2014Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 7.6.0, impstats, imrelp, mmpstrucdata, mmsequence, mmutf8fix, omrelp, release, rsyslog, stable, v7

This is the first release of rsyslog 7.6 in the v7-stable branch. Since 7.4 a lot of new functions have found their way into rsyslog. With 7.6 being the successor of the 7.5 development branch, everything that has been added there has now found its way into the stable version. The major additions consist of

imrelp/omrelp now support TLS & (zip) compression
impstats is now emitting resource usage counters, can directly emit delta values and can now be bound to a ruleset
mmpstrucdata is a new module to parse RFC5424 structured data into JSON message properties
mmutf8fix is a new module to fix invalid UTF-8 sequences
mmsequence is a new module that helps with action load balancing
new defaults for main/ruleset queues to be more enterprise-like

Also the new stable version has undergone a lot of bug fixes, performance improvements and optimizations that make rsyslog 7.6 a lot more reliable and performing than before. Also, requirements have changed a little. For rsyslog 7.6 you now require librelp 1.1.4 and libestr 0.1.7 due to major fixes.

More detailed information is available in the ChangeLog.

rsyslog 7.4.9 (v7-stable) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on January 22, 2014Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 7.4.9, bugfix, release, rsyslog, stable, systemd, v7

We have just released 7.4.9 of the v7-stable branch.

While we initially did not intend to do another v7.4 release, we got some important fixes which we wanted to be available for 7.4, so we decided to do one more release. Note that also a new feature is included. The “processInternalMessages” global parameter now permits to tell rsyslog to send it’s own error messages to another system logger. This is most beneficial for systemd-based systems, where this permits rsyslog messages to show up in the service status command (but note that this requires configuration).

More detailed information is available in the ChangeLog.

rsyslog 8.1.4 (v8-devel) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on January 10, 2014Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged 8.1.4, bugfix, devel, exec_template, imrelp, keepalive, release, rsyslog, v8

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.

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.
