Changelog for 7.2.1 (v7-stable)

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

Changelog for 7.3.1 (v7-devel)

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in ChangelogTagged , , , , , , ,

Version 7.3.1  [devel] 2012-10-19

  • optimized template processing performance, especially for $NOW family of properties
  • change lumberjack cookie to “@cee:” from “@cee: ”
    CEE originally specified the cookie with SP, whereas other lumberjack tools used it without space. In order to keep interop with lumberjack, we now use the cookie without space as well. I hope this can be changed in CEE as well when it is released at a later time.
    Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for pointing this out and a similiar v7 patch.
  • bugfix: imuxsock and imklog truncated head of received message
    This happened only under some circumstances. Thanks to Marius
    Tomaschwesky, Florian Piekert and Milan Bartos for their help in solving this issue.
  • bugfix: imuxsock did not properly honor $LocalHostIPIF
