By adisconteamPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , , , ,

Version 7.2.1  [v7-stable] 2012-10-29

  • bugfix: ruleset()-object did only support a single statement
  • added -D rsyslogd option to enable config parser debug mode
  • improved syntax error messages by outputting the error token
  • the rsyslog core now suspeneds actions after 10 failures in a row
    This was former the case after 1,000 failures and could cause rsyslog
    to be spammed/ressources misused. See the v6 compatibility doc for more details.
  • ommongodb rate-limits error messages to prevent spamming the syslog
    closes (for v7.2): http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366

Quick guide to omzmq3

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in FAQTagged , , ,

Here is a quick guide for using rsyslog with omzmq3. The mentioned procedure has been tested with rsyslog 7.1.12. In future versions, this could be different.

1. Build zeromq 3.2.1-rc2

2. Build czmq 1.2.0, linking it with zeromq 3.2.1-rc2

3. Build rsyslog 7.1.12, using the “–enable-omzmq3” configure option

4. Configured rsyslog to publish all messages on a zmq bind socket:

*.* action(type="omzmq3" sockType="PUB" action="BIND" description="tcp://*:11514" template="any_message_template")

DON’T FORGET THE TEMPLATE: Otherwise, rsyslog will segfault.

 

Special Thanks go to Philippe Muller for providing this information
