- Log rotation is handled more gracefully now under favourable
conditions (logfile is moved so inode is kept, and it does not get
compressed immediately).
- An option IgnoreModified has been added to cover transient files that
not only get added/deleted but also modified during their lifetime.
- An option KernelCheckProc has been added to suppress the kernel /proc test.
- Large groups are handled better now.
- Reconnecting to a temporarily unavailable Oracle database has been fixed.
Feature safe: yes
- Logfile monitoring has been enhanced with three new features:
(1) reporting on bursts of very similar/repeated messages
(2) reporting on expected yet missing messages (e.g. heartbeat messages)
(3) reporting on correlated events (e.g. event A is followed by event B
within X seconds)
- Better caching of UIDs/GIDs to reduce lookups
- Hostnames of clients are matched case-insensitively now
where an unauthorized client could download configuration and database
files from the server.
Full changes since 2.5.2:
- email logging has been rewritten for enhanced functionality. It's
now possible to filter messages different for each recipient, and
regular expressions can be used now for filtering
- new option SetMailPort allows to set a custom SMTP port
- in the configuration file, option values can now be set by evaluating
shell commands: Key = $( command )
- PortCheckInterface now allows a list as value
- new option SetConnectionTimeout allows to configure the client/server
connection timeout
- new option SetThrottle allows to configure throughput throttling for
the database download to the client
Changes:
- On request, there is now a global option LooseDirCheck ([false]/true) to
drop reports on directories with changes of size/mtime/ctime (resulting
from changes within the directory)
- An option to improve hidden process detection from within an OpenVZ
container has been added
- Port check now reports process pid, reporting to prelude is more
complete now
- A bug has been fixed whereby for files larger than 2GB, a filesize of
exactly 2GB could be inserted into the RDBMS (if logging to one)
supports them. This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.
