Changelog for 5.6.4 (v5-stable)

Version 5.6.4 [V5-STABLE] (rgerhards), 2011-03-03

  • bugfix: potential abort condition when $RepeatedMsgReduction set to on
    as well as potentially in a number of other places where MsgDup() was
    used. This only happened when the imudp input module was used and it
    depended on name resolution not yet had taken place. In other words,
    this was a strange problem that could lead to hard to diagnose
    instability. So if you experience instability, chances are good that
    this fix will help.
  • bugfix: fixed a memory leak and potential abort condition
    this could happen if multiple rulesets were used and some output batches
    contained messages belonging to more than one ruleset.

  • bugfix: queue engine did not properly slow down inputs in FULL_DELAY mode
    when in disk-assisted mode. This especially affected imfile, which
    created unnecessarily queue files if a large set of input file data was
    to process.
  • bugfix: very long running actions could prevent shutdown under some
    circumstances. This has now been solved, at least for common
    situations.
  • bugfix: fixed compile problem due to empty structs
    this occured only on some platforms/compilers. thanks to Dražen Kačar
    for the fix

  • bugfix: imfile did duplicate messages under some circumstances
  • added $OMMySQLConfigFile config directive
  • added $OMMySQLConfigSection config directive
