Changelog for 7.4.10 (v7-stable)

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

Version 7.4.10 [v7.4-stable] 2014-02-12

  • bugfix: json templates are improperly created
    Strings miss the terminating NUL character, which obviously can lead to all sorts of problems.
    See also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/27
    Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.
  • ompgsql bugfix: improper handling of auto-backgrounding mode
    If rsyslog was set to auto-background itself (default code behaviour, but many distros now turn it off for good reason), ompgsql could not properly connect. This could even lead to a segfault. The core reason was that a PG session handle was kept open over a fork, something that is explicitely forbidden in the PG API.
    Thanks to Alain for the analysis and the patch.

rsyslog 8.1.5 (v8-devel) released

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

We have just released 8.1.5 of the v8-devel branch. This release offers some important bug fixes and an enhanced imfile. It now supports inotify and has no longer a fixed limit on the number of files that can be monitored. Note that inotify must be enabled. By default, the previous polling mode is used. For details see parameter “mode” in the doc: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imfile.html

Feedback is *very much* appreciated.

Changelog for 8.1.5 (v8-devel)

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

Version 8.1.5 [devel] 2014-01-24

  • imfile now supports inotify (but must be explicitely turned on)
  • imfile no longer has a limit on number of monitored files
  • added ProcessInternalMessages global system parameter
    This permits to inject rsyslog status messages into *another* main syslogd or the journal.
  • new dependency: liblogging-stdlog (for submitting to external logger)
  • bugfix: imuxsock input parameters were not accepted due to copy&paste error. Thanks to Andy Goldstein for the fix.

rsyslog 7.4.9 (v7-stable) released

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

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.

Changelog for 7.4.9 (v7-stable)

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

Version 7.4.9  [v7.4-stable] 2014-01-22

  • added ProcessInternalMessages global system parameter
    This permits to inject rsyslog status messages into *another* main syslogd or the journal.
  • bugfix: imuxsock input parameters were not accepted due to copy&paste error. Thanks to Andy Goldstein for the fix.
  • bugfix: potential double-free in RainerScript equal comparison happens if the left-hand operand is JSON object and the right-hand operand is a non-string that does not convert to a number (for example, it can be another JSON object, probably the only case that could happen in practice). This is very unlikely to be triggered.
  • bugfix: some RainerScript Json(Variable)/string comparisons were wrong
