Version 8.13.0 [v8-stable] 2015-09-22
- ZeroMQ enhancements:
- Added the ability to set a static publishing topic per action as an
alternative to constructing topics with templates
- ZMQ_PUB socket now defaults to bind and ZMQ_SUB socket now defaults to
connect
- Redis enhancements:
- Can now LPUSH to a Redis list in "queue" mode
- Can now PUBLISH to a Redis channel in "publish" mode
- build requirement for rsyslog/mmnormalize is now liblognorm 1.1.2 or above
- mmnormalize: liblognorm error messages are now emitted via regular
rsyslog error reporting mechanism (aka "are now logged")
- add support for TCP client side keep-alives
- bugfix: imtcp/TLS hangs on dropped packets
- bugfix testbench: some tests using imptcp are run if module is disabled
- bugfix omkafka: Fixes a bug not accepting new messages anymore.
- bugfix: Parallel build issue "cannot find ../runtime/.libs/librsyslog.a:
No such file or directory" (#479) fixed.
- bugfix: Added missing mmpstructdata testfiles into makefile.
- bugfix: Reverted FIX for issue #392 as it had unexpected side effects.
- The new fix duplicates the Listener object for static files (like
done for dynamic files already), resolving issue #392 and #490.
- bugfix: issues in queue subsystem if syncqueuefiles was enabled
- Error 14 was generated on the .qi file directory handle.
As the .qi filestream does not have a directory set, fsync
was called on an empty directory causing a error 14 in debug log.
- When queue files existed on startup, the bSyncQueueFiles
strm property was not set to 1. This is now done in the
qqueueLoadPersStrmInfoFixup function.
- bugfix/testbench: tcpflood tool could abort when random data was added
- rscryutil: Added support to decrypt a not closed log file.
- add message metadata "system" to msg object
this permits to store metadata alongside the message
- imfile: add support for "filename" metadata
this is useful in cases where wildcards are used
- imptcp: make stats counter names consistent with what imudp, imtcp uses
- added new module "omkafka" to support writing to Apache Kafka
- omfwd: add new "udp.senddelay" parameter
- mmnormalize enhancements
- RainerScript "foreach" iterator and array reading support
- now requires liblognorm >= 1.0.2
- add support for systemd >= 209 library names
- BSD "ntp" facility (value 12) is now also supported in filter
- bugfix: global(localHostName="xxx") was not respected in all modules
- bugfix: emit correct error message on config-file-not-found
- bugfix: impstats emitted invalid JSON format (if JSON was selected)
- bugfix: (small) memory leak in omfile's outchannel code
- bugfix: imuxsock did not deactivate some code not supported by platform
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.
