Tue Jun 15 17:42:39 UTC 2021 - Michael Ströder <michael@stroeder.com>
- Upgrade to rsyslog 8.2106.0:
* NOTE: the prime new feature is support for TLS and non-TLS connections
via imtcp in parallel. Furthermore, most TLS parameters can now be overriden
at the input() level. The notable exceptions are certificate files, something
that is due to be implemented as next step.
* 2021-06-14: new global option "parser.supportCompressionExtension"
This permits to turn off rsyslog's single-message compression extension
when it interferes with non-syslog message processing (the parser
subsystem expects syslog messages, not generic text)
closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/4598
* 2021-05-12: imtcp: add more override config params to input()
It is now possible to override all module parameters at the input() level. Module
parameters serve as defaults. Existing configs need no modification.
* 2021-05-06: imtcp: add stream driver parameter to input() configuration
This permits to have different inputs use different stream drivers
and stream driver parameters.
closes https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/3727
* 2021-04-29: imtcp: permit to run multiple inputs in parallel
Previously, a single server was used to run all imtcp inputs. This
had a couple of drawsbacks. First and foremost, we could not use
different stream drivers in the varios inputs. This patch now
provides a baseline to do that, but does still not implement the
capability (in this sense it is a staging patch).
Secondly, we now ensure that each input has at least one exclusive
thread for processing, untangling the performance of multiple
inputs from each other.
see also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/3727
* 2021-04-27: tcpsrv bugfix: potential sluggishnes and hang on shutdown
tcpsrv is used by multiple other modules (imtcp, imdiag, imgssapi, and,
in theory, also others - even ones we do not know about). However, the
internal synchornization did not properly take multiple tcpsrv users
in consideration.
As such, a single user could hang under some circumstances. This was
caused by improperly awaking all users from a pthread condition wait.
That in turn could lead to some sluggish behaviour and, in rare cases,
a hang at shutdown.
Note: it was highly unlikely to experience real problems with the
officially provided modules.
* 2021-04-22: refactoring of syslog/tcp driver parameter passing
This has now been generalized to a parameter block, which makes it much cleaner and
also easier to add new parameters in the future.
* 2021-04-22: config script: add re_match_i() and re_extract_i() functions
This provides case-insensitive regex functionality.

Thu May 18 12:38:04 UTC 2017 - dziolkowski@suse.com
Version 8.27.0 [v8-stable] 2017-05-16
- imkafka: add module
- imptcp enhancements:
* optionally emit an error message if incoming messages are truncated
* optionally emit connection tracking message (on connection create and
close)
* add "maxFrameSize" parameter to specify the maximum size permitted
in octet-counted mode
* add parameter "discardTruncatedMsg" to permit truncation of
oversize messages
* improve octect-counted mode detection: if the octet count is larger
then the set frame size (or overly large in general), it is now
assumed that octet-stuffing mode is used. This probably solves a
number of issues seen in real deployments.
- imtcp enhancements:
* add parameter "discardTruncatedMsg" to permit truncation of
oversize messages
* add "maxFrameSize" parameter to specify the maximum size permitted
in octet-counted mode
- imfile bugfix: "file not found error" repeatedly being reported
for configured non-existing file. In polling mode, this message
appeared once in each polling cycle, causing a potentially very large
amout of error messages. Note that they were usually emitted too
infrequently to trigger the error message rate limiter, albeit often
enough to be a major annoance.
- imfile: in inotify mode, add error message if configured file cannot
be found
- imfile: add parameter "fileNotFoundError" to optinally disable
"file not found" error messages
- core: replaced gethostbyname() with getaddrinfo() call
Gethostbyname() is generally considered obsolete, is not reentrant and
cannot really work with IPv6. Changed the only place in rsyslog where
this call remained.
Thanks to github user jvymazal for the patch

- includes changes from 8.21.0:
* 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**.

- bugfix: omudpspoof: source port was invalid
Thanks to Pavel Levshin for the patch

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Aug 21 14:47:32 UTC 2014 - mrueckert@suse.de
- rsyslog 8.4.0 [v8-stable]
- this is the new stable branch, which incorporates all
enhancements of rsyslog 8.3.
- rsyslog 8.3.5 [v8-devel] 2014-08-05
- mmjsonparse: support selectable cookie and target containers
This permits to put different meanings into a json formatted
syslog message, e.g. the "traditional" cee or cim data.
- bugfix: mmjsonparse did not build with json-c < 0.10 This was a
regression introduced some time in the past in order to support
API changes in json-c. Now we check for the - rsyslog and use
proper code.
- omprog: emit error message via syslog() if loading binary fails
This happens after forking, so omprog has no longer access to
rsyslog's regular error reporting functions. Previously, this
meant any error message was lost. Now it is emitted via regular
syslog (which may end up in a different instance, if multiple
instances run...)
- couple of patches imported from v7-stable (7.6.4)
- rsyslog 8.3.4 [v8-devel] 2014-07-11
- new pmciscoios parser supporting various Cisco IOS formats
- RFC3164 timestamp parser now accepts timezones and subsecond
resolution ... at least for some common formats and where we
could do so without running risk of breaking proper formats (or
introducing regressions)
- new parser config object -- permits to define custom parser
definitions
- new tzinfo config object -- permits to define time zone offsets
This is a utility object that currently is being used by some
parsers.
- bugfix: mishandling of input modules not supporting new input
instances If they did not support this, accidently the output
module part of the module union was written, leading to
unpredictable results. Note: all core modules do support this
interface, but some contributed or very old ones do not.
- bugfix: double-free when ruleset() parser parameters were used
While unlikely, this could cause stability issues even after
the config phase.
- rsyslog 8.3.3 [v8-devel] 2014-06-26
- unify input object naming imudp now supports "name" paramter,
as other inputs do. "inputname" has been deprecated, but can
still be used. Same applies to "appendport" subparamter".
Thanks to "Nick Syslog" for the suggestion.
- made the missing (contributed) modules build under v8 [import
from 8.2.2] Modules:
* mmrfc5424addhmac omrabbitmq omgssapi omhdfs omzmq3
- added a cleanup process (janitor); permits to close omfile
files after a timeout
- make omgssapi build under v8.3 [import vom v8.2] note that we
could do this to the stable, because there is NO regression
chance at all: only omgssapi was changed, and this module did
NOT work previously.
- removed obsolete --disable-fsstnd configure option Thanks to
Thomas D. for alerting us. Closes:
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/72
- rsyslog 8.3.2 [v8-devel] 2014-05-02
- new template options for date extraction:
- year
- month
- day
- wday
- hour
- minute
- second
- tzoffshour
- tzoffsmin
- tzoffsdirection
- wdayname For string templates, these are property options and
they are prefixed with "date-" (e.g. "date-year",
"date-month", ...) see also:
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/65
- bugfix: mmexternal remove framing char before processing JSON
reply This did not have any real bad effects, but caused
unnecessary processing, as empty replies were not properly
detected. Otherwise, the bug was not noticible from the user's
PoV.
- bugfix: mmexternal segfault due to invalid free in non-json
input mode closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/70
- bugfix: mmexternal segfault when external plugin sent invalid
reply ... or no reply at all. This happened if the reply was
imporper JSON. Now, we emit an error message in those cases.
see also: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/69
- bugfix: mmexternal did potentially pass incomplete data to
restarted external plugin This could happen if EPIPE was
returned "too late", in which case the beginning of the data
could be lost.
- bugfix: mmexternal did not properly process messages over 4KiB
The data to be passed to the external plugin was truncated
after 4KiB. see: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/64
- imrelp: added support for per-listener ruleset and inputname
see: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/63 Thanks to
bobthesecurityguy github user for the patch
- rsyslog 8.3.1 [v8-devel] 2014-04-24
- external message modification interface now support modifying
message PRI
- "jsonmesg" property will include uuid only if one was
previously generated This is primarily a performance
optimization. Whenever the message uuid is gotten, it is
generated when not already present. As we used the regular
setter, this means that always the uuid was generated, which is
quite time-consuming. This has now been changed so that it only
is generated if it already exists. That also matches more
closly the semantics, as "jsonmesg" should not make
modifications to the message. Note that the same applies to
"fulljson" passing mode for external plugins.
- added plugin to rewrite message facility and/or severity Name:
fac-sever-rewrite.py
- permits to build against json-c 0.12 Unfortunately, json-c had
an ABI breakage, so this is necessary. Note that - rsyslogs
prior to 0.12 had security issues (CVE-2013-6370,
CVE-2013-6371) and so it is desirable to link against the new -
rsyslog. Thanks to Thomas D. for the patch. Note that at least
some distros have fixed the security issue in older - rsyslogs
of json-c, so this seems to apply mostly when building from
sources.
- bugfix: using UUID property could cause segfault
- bugfix/mmexternal: memory leak
- bugfix: memory leak when using "jsonmesg" property
- bugfix: mmutf8fix did not detect two invalid sequences Thanks
to Axel Rau for the patch.
- bugfix: build problems with lexer.l on some platforms For some
reason, the strdup() prototype and others are missing. I admit
that I don't know why, as this happens only in 8.3.0+ and there
is no indication of changes to the affected files. In any case,
we need to fix this, and the current solution works at least as
an interim one.
- rsyslog 8.3.0 [v8-devel] 2014-04-10
- new plugin for anonymizing credit card numbers Thanks to Peter
Slavov for providing the code.
- external message modification modules are now supported They
are bound via the new native module "mmexternal". Also, a
sample skeleton for an external python message modification
module has been added.
- new $jsonmesg property with JSON representation of whole
message object closes:
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/19
- improved error message for invalid field extraction in string
template see also:
http://kb.monitorware.com/problem-with-field-based-extraction-t12299.html
- fix build problems on Solaris
- NOTE: a json-c API that we begun to use requires the compiler
to be in c99 mode. By default, we select it automatically. If
you modify this and use gcc, be sure to include "-std=c99" in
your compiler flags. This seems to be necessary only for older
- rsyslogs of gcc.
- rsyslog 8.2.3 [v8-stable] 2014-??-??
- bugfix: ommysql: handle/mem leak upon termination of worker
thread This could become bad if the (instance) worker threads
are often started and terminated. But it takes quite a while to
show effect.
- added documentation tarball and also install the html
documentation
new subpackage rsyslog-doc
- drop rsyslog-pid-file.patch: patch is included in update
- added rsyslog-8.4.0_implicit_declaration.patch:
include sys/time.h for gettimeofday
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jul 16 15:17:34 UTC 2014 - jsegitz@suse.com
- Preliminary AppArmor support. Since those profiles need to be tested
properly they'll live in /etc/apparmor/profiles/extras.
- Added rsyslog-pid-file.patch to fix a regression that causes the pid
file to be created in /etc
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 4 19:40:26 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- rsyslog 8.2.2 [v8-stable]

the 'stop' statement instead"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 14 06:37:40 UTC 2014 - heinemannj66@gmail.com
- rsyslog 8.2.1 [v8-stable]
* permits to build against json-c 0.12
Unfortunately, json-c had an ABI breakage, so this is necessary. Note
that versions prior to 0.12 had security issues (CVE-2013-6370,
CVE-2013-6371) and so it is desirable to link against the new version.
Thanks to Thomas D. for the patch. Note that at least some distros
have fixed the security issue in older versions of json-c, so this
seems to apply mostly when building from sources.
* doc is no longer shipped as part of the rsyslog tarball
Instead, the rsyslog-doc project creates its own tarball. This is the
result of a mailing list discussion after the 8.2.0 release with a
tarball-in-tarball approach, which was disliked by almost all distro
maintainers. This move also has the advantage of de-coupling the
release cycles of both projects a bit (which turned out to be a bit
problematic in practice).
* bugfix: mmutf8fix did not detect two invalid sequences
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed May 14 06:31:47 UTC 2014 - heinemannj66@gmail.com
- rsyslog 8.2.0 [v8-stable]
This starts a new stable branch based on 8.1.6 plus the following changes:
* we now use doc from the rsyslog-doc project
As such, the ./doc subtree has been removed. Instead, a cache of the
rsyslog-doc project's files has been included in ./rsyslog-doc.tar.gz.
Note that the exact distribution mode for the doc is still under
discussion and may change in future releases.
This was agreed upon on the rsyslog mailing list. For doc issues
and corrections, be sure to work with the rsyslog-doc project. It is
currently hosted at https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-doc
* add support for specifying the liblogging-stdlog channel spec
new global parameter "stdlog.channelspec"
* add "defaultnetstreamdrivercertfile" global variable to set a default
for the certfile.
* omelasticsearch: add new "usehttps" parameter for secured connections
* "action resumed" message now also specifies module type
which makes troubleshooting a bit easier. Note that we cannot output all
the config details (like destination etc) as this would require much more
elaborate code changes, which we at least do not like to do in the

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 7 18:27:48 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de
- update to 7.3.14 [beta] 2013-05-06:

rscryutil or rsgtutil man was installed, but not both.
Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the patch.
- bugfix: potential segfault on startup when builtin module was
specified in module() statement.
Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for reporting the bug.
- bugfix: segfault due to invalid dynafile cache handling
Accidently, the old-style cache size parameter was used when the
dynafile cache was created in a RainerScript action. If the
old-style size was lower than the one actually set, this lead to
misadressing when the size was overrun, and that could lead to
all kinds of “interesting things”, often in segfaults.

Fri Apr 19 09:11:23 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.de
- update to 7.2.7 [v7-stable] 2013-04-17:
- rsyslogd startup information is now properly conveyed back to init
when privileges are beging dropped. Actually, we have moved
termination of the parent in front of the priv drop. So it shall
work now in all cases. See code comments in commit for more details.
- If forking, the parent now waits for a maximum of 60 seconds for
termination by the child
- improved debugging support in forked (auto-backgrounding) mode.
The rsyslog debug log file is now continued to be written across the
fork.
- updated systemd files to match current systemd source
- bugfix: failover/action suspend did not work correctly
This was experienced if the retry action took more than one second
to complete. For suspending, a cached timestamp was used, and if the
retry took longer, that timestamp was already in the past. As a
result, the action never was kept in suspended state, and as such no
failover happened. The suspend functionalit now does no longer use
the cached timestamp (should not have any performance implication,
as action suspend occurs very infrequently).
- bugfix: nested if/prifilt conditions did not work properly
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=415

Thanks to Philippe Muller for the patch.
- bugfix: several issues in imkmsg
see bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421#c8
- bugfix: imuxsock was missing SysSock.ParseTrusted module parameter
To use that functionality, legacy rsyslog.conf syntax had to be used.
Also, the doc was missing information on the "ParseTrusted" set of
config directives.
- bugfix: parameter action.execOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended was
accidently of integer-type. For obvious reasons, it needs to be
boolean. Note that this change can break existing configurations
if they circumvented the problem by using 0/1 values.
- doc bugfix: rsyslog.conf man page had invalid file format info
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=418
- update to 7.2.6 [v7-stable] 2013-03-05:
- slightly improved config parser error messages when invalid escapes
happen
- bugfix: include files got included in the wrong order
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=411
This happens if an $IncludeConfig directive was done on multiple
files (e.g. the distro default of $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf).
In that case, the order of include file processing is reversed, which
could lead to all sorts of problems.
Thanks to Nathan Stratton Treadway for his great analysis of the
problem, which made bug fixing really easy.
- bugfix: omelasticsearch failed when authentication data was provided
... at least in most cases it emitted an error message:
"snprintf failed when trying to build auth string"
Thanks to Joerg Heinemann for alerting us.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404
- bugfix: some property-based filter were incorrectly parsed
This usually lead to a syntax error on startup and rsyslogd not actually
starting up. The problem was the regex, which did not care for double
quote characters to follow in the action part - unfortunately something
that can frequently happen with v6+ format. An example:
:programname, isequal, "as" {action(type="omfile" ...) }
Here, the part
:programname, isequal, "as" {action(type="omfile"
was treated as the property filter, and the rest as action part.
Obviously, this did not work out. Unfortunately, such situations usually
resulted in very hard to understand error messages.

- update to 7.2.5 [v7-stable]:
- build system cleanup
- bugfix: omelasticsearch did not properly compile on some platforms
due to missing libmath
- bugfix: on termination, actions were incorrectly called
- bugfix: very large memory consumption (and probably out of memory) when
FromPos was specified in template, but ToPos not.
- bugfix: timeval2syslogTime cause problems on some platforms
due to invalid assumption on structure data types.

- Check the existence of /etc/init.d/syslog script before calling
the restart_on_update and stop_on_removal macros to avoid errors
on update. Since openSUSE 12.3, no syslog init script is shipped
(bnc#790298,bnc#750478).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 7 10:58:19 UTC 2013 - mt@suse.com
- Update to 7.2.4 [v7-stable] with following changes:
- enhance: permit RFC3339 timestamp in local log socket messages
Thanks to Sebastien Ponce for the patch.
- imklog: added ParseKernelTimestamp parameter (import from 5.10.2)
Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the patch.
- fix missing functionality: ruleset(){} could not specify ruleset queue
The "queue.xxx" parameter set was not supported, and legacy ruleset
config statements did not work (by intention). The fix introduces the
"queue.xxx" parameter set. It has some regression potential, but only
for the new functionality. Note that using that interface it is possible
to specify duplicate queue file names, which will cause trouble. This
will be solved in v7.3, because there is a too-large regression
potential for the v7.2 stable branch.
- imklog: added KeepKernelTimestamp parameter (import from 5.10.2)
Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the patch.
- bugfix: imklog mistakenly took kernel timestamp subseconds as nanoseconds
... actually, they are microseconds. So the fractional part of the
timestamp was not properly formatted. (import from 5.10.2)
Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski for the bug report and the patch idea.
- bugfix: supportoctetcountedframing parameter did not work in imptcp
- bugfix: modules not (yet) supporting new conf format were not properly
registered. This lead to a "module not found" error message instead of
the to-be-expected "module does not support new style" error message.
That invalid error message could be quite misleading and actually stop
people from addressing the real problem (aka "go nuts" ;))
- bugfix: template "type" parameter is mandatory (but was not)
- bugfix: some message properties could be garbled due to race condition
This happened only on very high volume systems, if the same message was
being processed by two different actions. This was a regression caused
by the new config processor, which did no longer properly enable msg
locking in multithreaded cases. The bugfix is actually a refactoring of
the msg locking code - we no longer do unlocked operations, as the use
case for it has mostly gone away. It is potentially possible only at
very low-end systems, and there the small additional overhead of doing
the locking does not really hurt. Instead, the removal of that
capability can actually slightly improve performance in common cases,
as the code path is smaller and requires slightly less memory writes.
That probably outperforms the extra locking overhead (which in the
low-end case always happens in user space, without need for kernel
support as we can always directly aquire the lock - there is no
contention at all).
- Removed imklog-kernel-timestamp-parsing (bnc#783967) patch obsoleted
by this version.

Thu Nov 22 14:12:36 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Update to 7.2.3 (v7-stable) a release providing following fixes:
- regression fix: rsyslogd terminated when wild-card $IncludeConfig did not
find actual include files. For example, if this directive is present:
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
and there are no *.conf files in /etc/rsyslog.d (but rsyslog.d exists),
rsyslogd will emit an error message and terminate. Previous (and expected)
behaviour is that an empty file set is no problem. HOWEVER, if the
directory itself does not exist, this is flagged as an error and will
load to termination (no startup).
Unfortunately, this is often the case by default in many distros, so this
actually prevents rsyslog startup.
- doc improvements
- enabled to build without libuuid, at loss of uuid functionality
this enables smoother builds on older systems that do not support
libuuid. Loss of functionality should usually not matter too much as
uuid support has only recently been added and is very seldom used.
- bugfix: omfwd did not properly support "template" parameter
- bugfix: potential segfault when re_match() function was used
Thanks to oxpa for the patch.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=371
- bugfix: potential abort of imtcp on rsyslogd shutdown
- bugfix: imzmq3 segfault with PULL subscription
Thanks to Martin Nilsson for the patch.
- bugfix: improper handling of backslash in string-type template()s
- bugfix: leading quote (") in string-type template() lead to thight loop
on startup
- bugfix: no error msg on invalid field option in legacy/string template
- bugfix: potential segfault due to invalid param handling in comparisons
This could happen in RainerScript comparisons (like contains); in some
cases an unitialized variable was accessed, which could lead to an
invalid free and in turn to a segfault.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372
Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for reporting this bug and his great help
in solving it.
- bugfix: no error msg on unreadable $IncludeConfig path
- bugfix: $IncludeConfig did not correctly process directories
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=376
The testbench was also enhanced to check for these cases.
Thanks to Georgi Georgiev for the bug report.
- bugfix: make rsyslog compile on kfreebsd again
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380
Thanks to Guillem Jover for the patch.
- bugfix: garbled message if field name was used with jsonf property option
The length for the field name was invalidly computed, resulting in either
truncated field names or including extra random data. If the random data
contained NULs, the rest of the message became unreadable.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374
- bugfix: potential segfault at startup with property-based filter
If the property name was followed by a space before the comma, rsyslogd
aborted on startup. Note that no segfault could happen if the initial
startup went well (this was a problem with the config parser).
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381
- bugfix: imfile discarded some file parts
File lines that were incomplete (LF missing) *at the time imfile polled
the file* were partially discarded. That part of the line that was read
without the LF was discarded, and the rest of the line was submitted in
the next polling cycle. This is now changed so that the partial content
is saved until the complete line is read. Note that the patch affects
only read mode 0.
Thanks to Milan Bartos for providing the base idea for the solution.
- Merged also fixes for unreliable kernel timestamp regression (bnc#783967),
which will be picked up in a later v7-stable release:
- imklog: added $klogParseKernelTimestamp option (default off),
wich reverts to the 5.8.x behavior to use receive time for the
kernel messages instead to try parse and convert the kernel
timestamp, what is not reliable on some hardware (intel i7/Xeon).
- imklog: added $klogKeepKernelTimestamp option (default off),
causing to not remove the kernel timestamp from the message
after a successful conversion.
- imklog: fixed a conversion bug causing a <1sec incorrectness
of the message time when the kernel timestamp is parsed.
- Removed {} arround RSYSLOG_PARAMS variable in service file. systemd
seems sometimes to not like it any more (bnc#788330).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov 20 11:44:16 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Require syslog-service >= 2.0 on 12.3, otherwise < 2.0, which
contain the /etc/init.d/syslog init script.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov 13 10:31:24 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- imuxsock: do not log EAGAIN in nonblocking recvfrom (bnc#734672)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 12 17:21:43 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Removed handling of the -c <compat version> option which is
obsolete in rsyslog-7.x.
- Fixed build requires / deps to work on 12.x and SLE-11-SP2.
- Initialized RSYSLOG_PARAMS env variable in service file.
- Marked additional log socket config as ghost.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Nov 9 13:38:35 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Readded things removed in previous change, that is compat version
and params variable use, generation of additional (chroot) log
sockets include file, xconsole handling in rsyslog.service.
- Fixed liblognorm conditional build flag dependencies, removed all
suse version dependencies.
- Changed to install in /usr/sbin, compatibility link in /sbin.
- Added klogd to build conflicts to resolve build service deps
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Nov 6 12:36:54 UTC 2012 - tittiatcoke@gmail.com
- Enabled rsyslog own systemd service file. This to resolve the
current issue with a non starting system logger with systemd 185.
(see also bnc#788330)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Oct 29 15:39:26 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Update to 7.2.1 (v7-stable), a pure bug-fixing release:
- 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
- Enabled compilation of kmsg, the kernel’s new structured logging
system modile, mmaudit the message modification module supporting
Linux audit format and mmjsonparse providing the cee-enhanced
syslog format support message modification module.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 24 15:01:53 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Update to 7.2.0 (v7-stable) a full structured-logging/CEE enabled
version which provides following features compared to v5-stable:
* greatly improved configuration language – the new language is
much more intuitive than the legacy format. It will also prevent
some typical mistakes simply be not permitting these invalid
constructs. Note that legacy format is still fully supported
(and you can of course do the same mistakes if you use legacy
format).
* greatly improved execution engine – with nested if/then/else
constructs as well as the capability to modify variables during
processing.
* full support for structured logging and project lumberjack/CEE.
this includes everything from being able to create, interpret
and handle JSON-based structured log messages, including the
ability to normalize legacy text log messages.
* more plugins – like support for MongoDB, HDFS, and ElasticSearch
as well as for the kernel’s new structured logging system.
* higher performance – many optimizations all over the code, like
5 to 10 times faster execution time for script-based filters,
enhanced multithreaded TCP input plugin, DNS cache and many more.

Wed Oct 17 14:33:35 UTC 2012 - fcrozat@suse.com
- Fix build with new systemd location.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 17 14:13:38 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Use RFC-5424 conform log format with RFC-3339 high-precision
timestamps by default, removed obsolete rsyslog.early.conf.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 24 17:58:16 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- prevent installation with other providers of syslog (bnc#780608)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Sep 21 08:09:46 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Changed default /etc/rsyslog.conf we install to not use multiple
facilities with the same priority pattern in one statement using
the comma operator. This started to cause a start failure with
rsyslog-6.4.x (bnc#780607) and seems to be a bug in rsyslog.
Upstream report http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=358,
switched to use alternative syntax using semicolon separator.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep 20 21:39:48 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- update to 6.4.2 [V6-STABLE] 2012-09-20:
- bugfix: potential abort, if action queue could not be properly
started
- bugfix: remove invalid socket option call from imuxsock
- bugfix: missing support for escape sequences in RainerScript
- bugfix: config validation run did not always return correct
return state
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep 20 21:20:17 UTC 2012 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- add rsyslog-6.4.1-CheckConnection-no-return-in-nonvoid-function.patch
to fix rsyslog no-return-in-nonvoid-function netstrm.c:258 in
CheckConnection()
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 17 12:13:04 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Update to 6.4.1 [V6-STABLE] 2012-09-06:
- bugfix: multiple main queues with same queue file name were not
detected. This lead to queue file corruption. While the root
cause is a config error, it is a bug that this important and
hard to find config error was not detected by rsyslog.
- bugfix: “jsonf” property replacer option did generate invalid
JSON in JSON, we have “fieldname”:”value”, but the option
emitted “fieldname”=”value”. Interestingly, this was accepted
by a couple of sinks, most importantly elasticsearch. Now the
correct format is emitted, which causes a remote chance that
some things that relied on the wrong format will break.
Thanks to Miloslav Trmač for the patch
- change $!all-json did emit an empty (thus non-JSON) string if
no libee data was present. It now emits {} and thus valid JSON.
There is a small risk that this may break some things that
relied on the previous inconsistency. Thanks to Miloslav Trmač
for the patch
- bugfix: omusrsmsg incorrect return state & config warning
handling. During config file processing, Omusrmsg often
incorrectly returned a warning status, even when no warning was
present (caused by uninitialized variable). Also, the core
handled warning messages incorrectly, and treated them as
errors. As a result, omusrmsg (most often) could not properly be
loaded. Note that this only occurs with legacy config action
syntax. This was a regression caused by an incorrect merge in to
the 6.3.x codebase.
Thanks to Stefano Mason for alerting us of this bug.
- bugfix: Fixed TCP CheckConnection handling in omfwd.c. Interface
needed to be changed in lower stream classes. Syslog TCP Sending
is now resumed properly. Unfixed, that lead to non-detection of
downstate of remote hosts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon May 7 10:31:08 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Updated to 5.8.11 [V5-stable] 2012-05-03:
- bugfix: ommysql did not properly init/exit the mysql runtime
library this could lead to segfaults. Triggering condition:
multiple action instances using ommysql. Thanks to Tomas
Heinrich for reporting this problem and providing an initial
patch (which my solution is based on, I need to add more code
to clean the mess up).
- bugfix: rsyslog did not terminate when delayable inputs were
blocked due to unvailable sources. Fixes:
http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299
Thanks to Marcin M for bringing up this problem and Andre
Lorbach for helping to reproduce and fix it.
- bugfix: active input in “light delay state” could block
rsyslog termination, at least for prolonged period of time
- bugfix: imptcp input name could not be set. Config directive
was accepted, but had no effect
bugfix: assigned ruleset was lost when using disk queues
This looked quite hard to diagnose for disk-assisted queues,
as the pure memory part worked well, but ruleset info was lost
for messages stored inside the disk queue.
- bugfix: hostname was not requeried on HUP
Thanks to Per Jessen for reporting this bug and Marius
Tomaschewski for his help in testing the fix.
- bugfix: inside queue.c, some thread cancel states were not
correctly reset. While this is a bug, we assume it did have
no practical effect because the reset as it was done was set
to the state the code actually had at this point. But better
fix this…
- Removed obsolete requery hostname patch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Apr 12 09:22:38 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Added upstream patchset to requery hostname on HUP (bnc#755857)
- Removed obsolete rsyslog-5.8.7-systemd-log-socket.patch

- bugfix: segfault on startup if $actionqueuefilename was missing
for disk queue config. Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
- bugfix: segfault if disk-queue was started up with old queue file
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch.
- bugfix: memory leak in array passing output module mode
by 5.8.9 [V5-stable] 2012-03-15:
- added tool to recover disk queue if .qi file is missing
(recover_qi.pl)
Thanks to Kaiwang Chen for contributing this tool
- bugfix: stopped DA queue was never processed after a restart
due to a regression from statistics module.
- added better doc for statsobj interface.
Thanks to Kaiwang Chen for his suggestions and analysis in
regard to the stats subsystem.
by 5.8.8 [V5-stable] 2012-03-05:
- bugfix: omprog made rsyslog abort on startup if not binary to
execute was configured
- bugfix: imklog invalidly computed facility and severity
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=313
improves interop with systemd journal
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 20 15:33:05 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Detect if we have to use the new /run/systemd/journal/syslog
socket instead of the /dev/log under newer systemd versions.
Obsoletes listen.conf installed by systemd (bnc#747871).
- updated to 5.8.7 [V5-stable]:
- bugfix: instabilities when using RFC5424 header fields
Thanks to Kaiwang Chen for the patch
- bugfix: imuxsock did truncate part of received message if it did
not contain a proper date. The truncation occured because we
removed that part of the messages that was expected to be the date.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=295
- bugfix: potential abort after reading invalid X.509 certificate
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=290
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch
- bugfix: stats counter were not properly initialized on creation
- FQDN hostname for multihomed host was not always set to the correct
name if multiple aliases existed. Thanks to Tomas Heinreich for the
patch.
- updated to 5.8.6 [V5-stable]:
- bugfix: missing whitespace after property-based filter was not
detected
- bugfix: $OMFileFlushInterval period was doubled - now using correct
value
- bugfix: ActionQueue could malfunction due to index error
Thanks to Vlad Grigorescu for the patch
- bugfix: $ActionExecOnlyOnce interval did not work properly
Thanks to Tomas Heinrich for the patch
- bugfix: race condition when extracting program name, APPNAME,
structured data and PROCID (RFC5424 fields) could lead to invalid
characters e.g. in dynamic file names or during forwarding (general
malfunction ofthese fields in templates, mostly under heavy load)
- bugfix: imuxsock did no longer ignore message-provided timestamp,
if so configured (the *default*). Lead to no longer sub-second
timestamps.
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281
- bugfix: omfile returns fatal error code for things that go really
wrong previously, RS_RET_RESUME was returned, which lead to a loop
inside the rule engine as omfile could not really recover.
- bugfix: imfile did invalid system call under some circumstances
when a file that was to be monitored did not exist BUT the state
file actually existed. Mostly a cosmetic issue. Root cause was
incomplete error checking in stream.c; so patch may affect other
code areas.
- bugfix: rsyslogd -v always said 64 atomics were not present
thanks to mono_matsuko for the patch
- Changed /etc/rsyslog.early.conf to just include rsyslog.conf,
fixed spec to use sd-daemon.[ch] from docs on 11.4 only.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Feb 20 12:11:18 UTC 2012 - mt@suse.com
- Cleaned up the config files a bit, updated comments in config
file, marked the /etc/rsyslog.early.conf obsolete.
Note: rsyslog will be started early/before network using its normal
/etc/rsyslog.conf config file (adopted scripts in syslog-service
package). When any kind of remote logging is in use, then on-disk
queues should be enabled. To start it after the network, please set
the SYSLOG_REQUIRES_NETWORK=yes variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog
(bnc#728565).

- upstream asked to change the syntax in the default config files
to the new syntax:
old: *.* * # (write to all)
new: *.* :omusrmsg:*
old: *.* $channel
new: *.* :omfile:$channel
from what i can see we are only affected with:
old: *.emerg *
new: *.emerg :omusrmsg:*
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jul 12 12:52:58 UTC 2011 - mrueckert@suse.de
- Updated to 5.8.3 [V5-stable]
- systemd support: set stdout/stderr to null - thx to Lennart for
the patch
- added support for the ":omusrmsg:" syntax in configuring user
messages
- added support for the ":omfile:" syntax in configuring user
messages Note: previous outchannel syntax will generate a
warning message. This may be surprising to some users, but it
is quite urgent to alert them of the new syntax as v6 can no
longer support the previous one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 21 13:50:42 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de
- Updated to 5.8.2 [V5-stable] (bnc#701282) a maintenance release,
containing only stability fixes:
- bugfix: problems in failover action handling
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254
- bugfix: mutex was invalidly left unlocked during action processing
At least one case where this can occur is during thread shutdown,
which may be initiated by lower activity. In most cases, this is
quite unlikely to happen. However, if it does, data structures may be
corrupted which could lead to fatal failure and segfault. I detected
this via a testbench test, not a user report. But I assume that some
users may have had unreproducable aborts that were cause by this bug.
- bugfix: memory leak in imtcp & subsystems under some circumstances
This leak is tied to error conditions which lead to incorrect cleanup
of some data structures. [backport from v6]
- bugfix/improvement:$WorkDirectory now gracefully handles trailing
slashes
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 31 12:14:59 UTC 2011 - aj@suse.de
- Add systemd service file back (bnc#696963).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 27 07:53:38 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de
- Removed touch of obsolete /var/log/boot.log from spec post.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu May 19 15:43:28 UTC 2011 - mrueckert@suse.de
- update to 5.8.1
- bugfix: invalid processing in QUEUE_FULL condition If the the
multi-submit interface was used and a QUEUE_FULL condition
occured, the failed message was properly destructed. However,
the rest of the input batch, if it existed, was not processed.
So this lead to potential loss of messages and a memory leak.
The potential loss of messages was IMHO minor, because they
would have been dropped in most cases due to the queue
remaining full, but very few lucky ones from the batch may have
made it. Anyhow, this has now been changed so that the rest of
the batch is properly tried to be enqueued and, if not
possible, destructed.
- new module mmsnmptrapd, a sample message modification module
This can be useful to reformat snmptrapd messages and also
serves as a sample for how to write message modification
modules using the output module interface. Note that we
introduced this new functionality directly into the stable
release, as it does not modify the core and as such cannot have
any side-effects if it is not used (and thus the risk is solely
on users requiring that functionality).
- bugfix: rate-limiting inside imuxsock did not work 100% correct
reason was that a global config variable was invalidly accessed
where a listener variable should have been used. Also
performance-improved the case when rate limiting is turned off
(this is a very unintrusive change, thus done directly to the
stable version).
- bugfix: $myhostname not available in RainerScript (and no error
message) closes:
http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233
- bugfix: memory and file descriptor leak in stream processing
Leaks could occur under some circumstances if the file stream
handler errored out during the open call. Among others, this
could cause very big memory leaks if there were a problem with
unreadable disk queue files. In regard to the memory leak, this
closes: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=256
- bugfix: doc for impstats had wrong config statements also,
config statements were named a bit inconsistent, resolved that
problem by introducing an alias and only documenting the
consistent statements Thanks to Marcin for bringing up this
problem.
- bugfix: IPv6-address could not be specified in omrelp this was
due to improper parsing of ":" closes:
http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250
- bugfix: TCP connection invalidly aborted when messages needed
to be discarded (due to QUEUE_FULL or similar problem)
- bugfix: $LocalHostName was not honored under all circumstances

- Updated to 5.6.5 (v5-stable) with following bugfixes:
* bugfix: failover did not work correctly if repeated msg
reduction was on.
affected directive: $ActionExecOnlyWhenPreviousIsSuspended on
* bugfix: omlibdbi did not use password from rsyslog.conf

module was used and it depended on name resolution not yet had
taken place. (bnc#679030)
* bugfix: fixed a memory leak and potential abort condition
this could happen if multiple rulesets were used and some output
batches contained messages belonging to more than one ruleset.

- Merged systemd socket activation support
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Feb 2 16:47:24 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de
- update to 5.6.3 (v5-stable) with following bugfixes (digest):
* action processor released mememory too early, resulting in
potential issue in retry cases (very unlikely).
* batch processing flagged invalid message as "bad" under some
circumstances
* unitialized variable could cause issues under extreme
conditions plus some minor nits.
* batches which had actions in error were not properly retried
in all cases
* imfile did duplicate messages under some circumstances
- enabled plain tcp input, unix socket output, last message
parser and the libdbi module as separate package.
- disabled systemd patch for openSUSE <= 11.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jan 20 14:10:59 UTC 2011 - mt@suse.de

- update to 5.6.2 (v5-stable) with following bugfixes:
* compile failed on systems without epoll_create1()
Thanks to David Hill for providing a fix.
* atomic increment for msg object may not work correct on
all platforms. Thanks to Chris Metcalf for the patch
* replacements for atomic operations for non-int sized types
had problems. At least one instance of that problem could
potentially lead to abort (inside omfile).
- Increased mark frequency in rsyslog.conf to 1 hour
- Enabled duplicate message reduction in rsyslog.conf to catch
at least buggy programs running amok and writting same message
zillion times until the disk gets out of space (bnc#656197).

Mon Nov 29 10:32:58 CET 2010 - mt@suse.de
- update to 5.6.1
This release addresses a TLS bug, that has been bothering a lot
of users lately. It stops rsyslog from looping, thus disabling
functionality and bearing the risk of unresponsiveness of the
whole system. Other issues have been fixed for imptcp, failing
testbench, segfault on empty templates and failed compile.
For more detailed information, please review the ChangeLog and

- applied systemd integration base patch (without the service and
socket unit files, because we'll use same for all syslog damons)
extracted from git master (bnc#656104).

series to the v5-stable branch.
- bugfix: a couple of problems that imfile had on some platforms,

this problem can not experienced on Fedora 64 bit OS (which has
64 bit long's!)

- Applied fix to avoid a tight send-retry loop in case there is
nobody receiving the messages sent to the xconsole pipe

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Apr 13 08:56:15 UTC 2010 - mt@suse.de
- Updated to rsyslog version 5.4.0 (v5-stable). This version begins
a new stable series based on the 5.3.x series, which has been
proven rather well in practice. The new 5.4.0 contains fixes for
all known problems. See ChangeLog file for a detailed history.
The main new feature is speed: several optimizations were done,
including support for epoll in tcp listeners.
- Added new lmzlibw.so and omruleset.so to the file list.
- Recompressed original tar.gz source archive using bzip2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Sep 9 21:36:16 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de
- Added read-only RSYSLOGD_NATIVE_VERSION sysconfig/syslog variable,
that is set to the native mode version number for the -c parameter
while every installation and used in the /etc/init.d/syslog script,
except the user overrides this default in RSYSLOGD_COMPAT_VERSION.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Sep 2 20:15:28 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de
- Updated to rsyslog version 4.4.1 (v4-stable), a bug-fixing release,
providing some important fixes for issues that have only been
detected after the beta phase. Some of them are serious (like a
segfault when UDP messageforwarding is activated), so users of
4.4.0 are urged to upgrade to this release. Changelog for 4.4.1:
* features requiring Java are automatically disabled if Java
is not present (thanks to Michael Biebl for his help!)
* bugfix: invalid double-quoted PRI, among others in outgoing
messages. This causes grief with all receivers.
Bug tracker: http://bugzilla.adiscon.com/show_bug.cgi?id=147
* bugfix: Java testing tools were required, even if testbench
was disabled. This resulted in build errors if no Java was
present on the build system, even though none of the selected
option actually required Java. (I forgot to backport a similar
fix to newer releases).
* bugfix (backport): omfwd segfault. Note that the orginal (higher
version) patch states this happens only when debugging mode is
turned on. That statement is wrong: if debug mode is turned off,
the message is not being emitted, but the division by zero in
the actual parameters still happens.
- Removed jave2-devel-packages from build requires again
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Sep 1 11:34:12 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de
- Updated to rsyslog version 4.4.0, the actual stable 4.4.x series.
It provides several bugfixes, performance improvements and new
features: It adds generic network stream server for syslog, the
capability to rebind the send socket of the UDP output section,
allows multiple tcp listeners, multiple recipients in ommail,
new plugins as omprog, improved documentation and testbench
with a config switch. Please review ChangeLog file for details.
- Removed obsolete moddirs patch (included in 4.4.0)
- Added java2-devel-packages to BuildRequires (for test suite)
- Enabled omprog and omtemplate plugins, added them and the
lmstrmsrv plugin to the base-plugins file list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 20 17:35:16 CEST 2009 - mt@suse.de
- Improved config file comments about usage of additional
modules provided in separate rsyslog-module packages.
