How to create debug information with strace

Adiscon SupportFAQ, ,

Strace is a tool to monitor system calls of an application. The output may be useful to trace what rsyslog is actually doing on the system level, if debug output information is not sufficient.

A quick example to provide useful output would be:

strace -T -ttt -f -o /path/filename rsyslogd

There are a lot of parameters that can be set. For example we can also only monitor system calls related to the network components:

strace -T -ttt -e trace=network -f -o /path/filename rsyslogd

For more details, please visit the man page of strace.

Adiscon SupportNews, Release Announcement, , , , , , , , , ,

We have released rsyslog 8.24.0.

This first release for 2017 brings a lot of changes. Most are detail enhancements for different modules. The biggest change is probably, that rsyslog now builds on the AIX platform.  Also 8.24.0 has two new message modification modules, which might be worth checking out. And a very useful addition is the ability to bind imudp and omfwd to a specific device.

rsyslog 8.23.0 (v8-stable) released

Adiscon SupportNews, Release Announcement, , , , , , , , ,

We have released rsyslog 8.23.0.

This release is packed with changes and enhancements. One of the most interesting might be the removal of the SHA2-224 hash algorithm for KSI signatures. This is considered insecure and is no longer supported by the KSI library. Also notable are the changes to imfile, omfile and omelasticsearch, among lots of others. Please take a look at the Changelog for a full overview.

Note: We delayed the next release by two weeks to the Jan 10, so we don’t have to deal with a release around the Christmas holidays. This also means that 8.23.0 is the final release for 2016.

RSyslog Windows Agent 3.3 Released

Adiscon SupportNews, Release Announcement, , , , , , ,

Adiscon is proud to announce the 3.3 release of RSyslog Windows Agent.

This is a bugfixing release with minor feature update.

Most importantly, the Adiscon SNMP MIB now supports messages sizes up to 64k (previous limit was 255 characters). The OpenSSL Library has been updated to 1.0.2h. Bugs were fixed primarily in RELP and syslog forwarding processing. For details please see the change log.

Detailed information can be found in the version history below.

Build-IDs: Service 3.3.152, Client 3.3.235

Features

  • Components:
    • OpenSSL library updated to 1.0.2h.
  • Adiscon SNMP Mib:
    • Changed DisplayString limit from 255 characters to 65536. Now, strings above 255 characters can be send using the adiscon mibs.

Bugfixes

  • Send Syslog Action:
    • Fixed an issue with the “Disable processing, forward as it is” Option. RawSyslogMsg property is used instead of msg property.
  • Send Relp Action:
    • Fixed an issue in the Session Close shutdown procedure which could lead to leaking sessions on Relp Servers.
    • Send Relp Action: Fixed an issue setting a proper status on failure.
    • Fixed a problem handling socket failures.
  • Event Monitor V2:
    • Dynamic properties could break XML format if they contained spaces in their name. Spaces and control characters are now properly replaced with underscores.
  • Relp Listener:
    • Fixed Socketsystem startup if only one Relp Listener Service was configured without any other network related services.
  • Syslog Server:
    • Fixed an issue relaying the priority / facility properties on Syslog Forward. The prifac property was not properly recreated if the message source was Syslog.
    • Fixed an issue with RFC5424 header parsing which partially parsed invalid formatted syslog messages. This broke the original message.
    • Fixed a parsing issue (TCP Protocol only) when the syslog header was missing. When the first characters were a number, TCP Syslog tried to detect octet framing. This failed but the beginning characters of the message were lost. Also octet framing was not disabled resulting in unexpected endings of the message.
    • Fixed an issue with RFC 3164 Syslog Header parsing when “take syslog source from msg” is enabled.
  • Property Replacer:
    • Date related options are now evaluated before and after the property is truncated. But only if a match before the string truncation was not successful.

rsyslog 8.21.0 (v8-stable) released

Adiscon SupportNews, Release Announcement, , , , , ,

We have released rsyslog 8.21.0.

This release is mostly for maintenance. There was a big change to how internal messages are handled. These are no longer logged via the internal bridge, but via the syslog() API call. For regular users, this should make not too much difference.

Additionaly, the TLS syslog error messages have been improved, as well as the robustness of the queue subsystem.
