- bugfix: potential abort with DA queue after high watermark is reached
There exists a race condition that can lead to a segfault. Thanks
go to vbernetr, who performed the analysis and provided patch, which
I only tweaked a very little bit. - fixed bugs in RainerScript:
- when converting a number and a string to a common type, both were
actually converted to the other variable’s type. - the value of rsCStrConvertToNumber() was miscalculated.
Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch
- when converting a number and a string to a common type, both were
- fixed a bug in configure.ac which resulted in problems with
environment detection – thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch - fixed a potential segfault problem in gssapi code
thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch - doc enhance: provide standard template for MySQL module and instructions
on how to modify schema
Simple forwarding with rsyslog (video tutorial)
| A quick introduction (~5 minutes) into basic UDP/TCP forwarding of messages with rsyslog. This shows how to extend a standard rsyslog.conf (on Debian 5 in this sample, but applies to all other distros, too) to support forwarding of messages. Continue reading “Simple forwarding with rsyslog (video tutorial)” |
Using rsyslog templates (video tutorial)
| In this ~5 minute video Rainer Gerhards describes what templates are, where they can be used and what they can contain. This is a life demo showcasing how things are actually done (carried out using Debian 5). Continue reading “Using rsyslog templates (video tutorial)” |
rsyslog message flow (video tutorial)
| This is a video tutorial on how messages flow through the rsyslog engine. Explains types of modules, queues and the “big picture”. This is actually the first video tutorial, and I guess you’ll notice that. Anyhow, I think it is useful for understanding the system. Continue reading “rsyslog message flow (video tutorial)” |
ChangeLog for 4.1.5 (devel)
Version 4.1.5 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2009-03-11
- bugfix: parser did not correctly parse fields in UDP-received messages
- added ERE support in filter conditions –
new comparison operation “ereregex” - added new config directive $RepeatedMsgContainsOriginalMsg so that the

ChangeLog for 3.20.4 (v3-stable)
Version 3.20.4 [v3-stable] (rgerhards), 2009-02-09
- bugfix: inconsistent use of mutex/atomic operations could cause segfault
details are too many, for full analysis see blog post at:
http://blog.gerhards.net/2009/01/rsyslog-data-race-analysis.html - bugfix: invalid ./configure settings for RFC3195
thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch - bugfix: invalid mutex access in msg.c

ChangeLog for 3.21.10
Version 3.21.10 [BETA] (rgerhards), 2009-02-02
- bugfix: inconsistent use of mutex/atomic operations could cause segfault
details are too many, for full analysis see blog post at:
http://blog.gerhards.net/2009/01/rsyslog-data-race-analysis.html - the string “Do Die” was accidently emited upon exit in non-debug mode
This has now been corrected. Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch. - some legacy options were not correctly processed.
Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch. - doc bugfix: v3-compatiblity document had typo in config directive
thanks to Andrej for reporting this
ChangeLog for 4.1.4 (devel)
Version 4.1.4 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2009-01-29
- bugfix: inconsistent use of mutex/atomic operations could cause segfault
details are too many, for full analysis see blog post at:
http://blog.gerhards.net/2009/01/rsyslog-data-race-analysis.html - bugfix: unitialized mutex was used in msg.c:getPRI
This was subtle, because getPRI is called as part of the debugging code
(always executed) in syslogd.c:logmsg. - bufgix: $PreserveFQDN was not properly handled for locally emitted
messages
Changelog for 3.20.3 (v3-stable)
Version 3.20.3 [v3-stable] (rgerhards), 2009-01-19
- doc bugfix: v3-compatiblity document had typo in config directive
thanks to Andrej for reporting this - fixed a potential segfault condition with $AllowedSender directive
On HUP, the root pointers were not properly cleaned up. Thanks to
Michael Biebel, olgoat, and Juha Koho for reporting and analyzing
the bug.
ChangeLog for 4.1.3 (devel)
Version 4.1.3 [DEVEL] (rgerhards), 2008-12-17
- added $InputTCPServerAddtlFrameDelimiter config directive, which
enables to specify an additional, non-standard message delimiter
for processing plain tcp syslog. This is primarily a fix for the invalid
framing used in Juniper’s NetScreen products. Credit to forum user
Arv for suggesting this solution. - added $InputTCPServerInputName property, which enables a name to be
specified that will be available during message processing in the
inputname property. This is considered useful for logic that treats
messages differently depending on which input received them. - added $PreserveFQDN config file directive
Enables to use FQDNs in sender names where the legacy default
would have stripped the domain part.
Thanks to BlinkMind, Inc. http://www.blinkmind.com for sponsoring this
development. - bugfix: imudp went into an endless loop under some circumstances
(but could also leave it under some other circumstances…)
Thanks to David Lang and speedfox for reporting this issue.
