rsyslog 6.3.4 (devel) released

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

This release brings bugfixes and further improvements to the rule engine. Most importantly, the (scoped, RainerScript-based) action object is now available. This enables users to get some early experience with the new system’s advanced features. Note that output plugins must support the new system. With this release, omfile and omusrmsg have been upgraded to support it. The next minor releases will bring more output module support for scoped actions.

Documentation for the new capabilities is upcoming at http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/node1.html

rsyslog 6.3.3 (devel) released

By adisconteamPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , ,

This is a very important milestone release. It features the new config parser and thus provides the basis for a more intuitive config format. With 6.3.3 there are already some enhancements to the format. However, more changes will come up with the next minor releases. For details, please check this link:

http://www.rsyslog.com/rsyslog-6-3-3-config-format-improvements/

It is worth noting that the performance of script-based filters (“if … then”) has notable been improved. Preliminary benchmarks show an improvement of at least a factor of three (more detailed benchmarks will be done after the new scoped object statements have been introduced).

We would appreciate early adoption of this release. One goal in releasing it is to see if the new parser actually is able to handle all legacy configurations found in practice (note that the parser was written from scratch).
