Version 8.22.0 [v8-stable] 2016-10-04
- ompgsql: add template support
Thanks to Radu Gheorghe for implementing this.
- generate somewhat better error message on config file syntax error
a common case (object at invalid location) has received it's own error
message; for the rest we still rely on the generic flex/bison handler
- bugfix:omhiredis reconnects after failure
previously it could loose messages under such conditions.
Thanks to Bob Gregory for the patch.
- general cleanup and code improvement
mostly guided by compiler warnings induced by newer opensuse builbot
environment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 8.21.0 [v8-stable] 2016-08-23
- CHANGE OF BEHAVIOUR:
by default, internal messages are no longer logged via the internal
bridge to rsyslog but via the syslog() API call [either directly or
via liblogging). For the typical single-rsyslogd-instance installation this
is mostly unnoticable (except for some additional latency). If multiple
instances are run, only the "main" (the one processing system log messages)
will see all messages. To return to the old behaviour, do either of those
two:
1) add in rsyslog.conf:
global(processInternalMessages="on")
2) export the environment variable RSYSLOG_DFLT_LOG_INTERNAL=1
This will set a new default - the value can still be overwritten via
rsyslog.conf (method 1). Note that the environment variable must be
set in your **startup script**.

- slightly improved TLS syslog error messages
- queue subsystem: improved robustness
The .qi file is now persisted whenever an existing queue file is fully
written and a new file is begun. This helps with rsyslog aborts, including
the common case where the OS issues kill -9 because of insufficiently
configured termination timout (this is an OS config error, but a frequent
one). Also, a situation where an orphaned empty file could be left in the
queue work directory has been fixed. We expect that this change causes
fewer permanent queue failures.
- bugfix: build failed on some platforms due to missing include files
Rsyslog is an enhanced syslogd supporting, among others, MySQL,
PostgreSQL, failover log destinations, syslog/tcp, fine grain
output format control, high precision timestamps, queued operations
and the ability to filter on any message part. It is quite
compatible to stock sysklogd and can be used as a drop-in
replacement.
