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.

  • add exec_template() RainerScript function

  • Add directives for numerically specifying GIDs/UIDs

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.

  • 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
