rsyslog 7.5.1 (v7-devel) released

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

This release opens the new 7.5 development branch. Most importantly, this version provides certificate-based authentication for RELP. It also includes mmfields, a module that can be used to parse CEF and other similar delimited formats. BSD-support has been improved and imjournal has been hardened to prevent corrupt journal databases from spamming the system too much. More information about configuring the certificate-based authentication for RELP: http://www.rsyslog.com/using-tls-with-relp/

Changelog for 7.4.1 (v7-stable)

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

Version 7.4.1  [v7.4-stable] 2013-06-17

  • imjournal: add ratelimiting capability
    The original imjournal code did not support ratelimiting at all. We now have our own ratelimiter. This can mitigate against journal database corruption, when the journal re-sends old data. This is a current bug in systemd journal, but we won’t outrule this to happen in the future again. So it is better to have a safeguard in place. By default, we permit 20,000 messages witin 10 minutes. This may be a bit restrictive, but given the risk potential it seems reasonable.
    Users requiring larger traffic flows can always adjust the value.
  • bugfix: potential loop in rate limiting
    if the message that tells about rate-limiting gets rate-limited itself, it will potentially create and endless loop
  • bugfix: potential segfault in imjournal if journal DB is corrupted
  • bugfix: prevent a segfault in imjournal if state file is not defined
  • bugfix imzmq3: potential segfault on startup
    if no problem happend at startup, everything went fine
    Thanks to Hongfei Cheng and Brian Knox for the patch
