syslog-ng 3.5.0beta3 has been released
by devel＠balabit.hu 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.5.0beta3 SUMMARY : new beta release DATE : Oct 11, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new beta version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.5.0beta3) has been released. Being a beta release, testing is most appreciated, but running it in production is not advised. CHANGES: 3.5.0beta3 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:21:38 +0200 This is the third BETA release of the syslog-ng 3.5 development branch, with stability fixes and other enhancements. While running in production is still not advised, testing is most appreciated. Incompatible changes ==================== Template escaping ----------------- Template escaping was changed in an incompatible way: previously, both the lexer and the template compiler used the '\' character for escaping, which was confusing. The template compiler uses '$$' to escape the '$' char, and '@@' to escape '@'. If a non-numeric value follows '@', a warning will be printed. Bugfixes ======== * syslog-ng should compile again on non-Linux platforms. * The flush() and fsync() options of the file destination were fixed, and they should work the same way now as they do in 3.3 and 3.4. * The hiredis library should be detected on the default include paths, so one does not necessarily need to specify --with-libhiredis non non-Debian systems. Said option was also made to work. * A memory corruption was fixed in the @STRING@ parser of db-parser(). * Excludes now work properly with value-pairs(), and they do not get ignored if the value to exclude is in the default set. Known Bugs ========== * The afstreams module is broken, does not compile, and does not work. This will be corrected before the final 3.5.1 release. Credits: ======== syslog-ng is developed as a community project, and as such it relies on volunteers to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng. Reporting bugs, testing changes, writing code or simply providing feedback are all important contributions, so please if you are a user of syslog-ng, contribute.

syslog-ng 3.5.0beta2 has been released
by devel＠balabit.hu 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.5.0beta2 SUMMARY : new beta release DATE : Sep 27, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new beta version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.5.0beta2) has been released. Being a beta release, testing is most appreciated, but running it in production is not advised. CHANGES: 3.5.0beta2 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 10:06:52 +0200 This is the second BETA release of the syslog-ng 3.5 development branch, introducing new features and a handful of fixes since the last beta version. While running in production is still not advised, testing is most appreciated. Major Features ============== Redis destination ----------------- Developed during the Google Summer of Code 2013 program, this destination driver makes it possible to easily send commands to a Redis server. For further information and examples, please see the following blog post: http://tichygsoc.blogspot.hu/2013/09/the-road-so-far.html Template type hinting --------------------- In 3.5.0beta1, type hinting was implemented for the MongoDB destination, with this release, it is also available for the $(format-json) template function. Template options honored everywhere ----------------------------------- Until this release, there were situations where template options were ignored, such as filter expressions that use the comparsion operators, regexp based substitutions, incoming templates for parsers, the new value rewrite rules, SMTP values, some of the new drivers (stomp, amqp), and patterndb context-id. These all honor the global template options now, and per-driver options such as frac-digits and local-time-zone are available for drivers which did not have them before, like MongoDB. Bugfixes ======== * The AMQP destination has been fixed, and using it does not lead to a crash anymore. * Several memory leaks in the STOMP destination have been fixed. * The --no-framing option of loggen has been fixed, and works as advertised now. * The in-list() filter ignores empty lines in its input file, to avoid matching on empty values. * Compilation on FreeBSD has been fixed. Credits: ======== syslog-ng is developed as a community project, and as such it relies on volunteers to do the work necessarily to produce syslog-ng.

syslog-ng 3.5.0beta1 has been released
by devel＠balabit.hu 19 Sep '13

19 Sep '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.5.0beta1 SUMMARY : new beta release DATE : Sep 19, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new beta version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.5.0beta1) has been released. Being a beta release, testing is most appreciated, but running it in production is not advised. CHANGES: 3.5.0beta1 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 11:03:15 +0200 This is a BETA release of the syslog-ng 3.5 development branch, with a lot of internal rework and even more new features included. Being a beta release, testing is most appreciated, but running it in production is not advised. The release contains all the fixes from the 3.4 branch, the changes below are relative to the 3.4.3 release. Major Features ============== Multi-line support ------------------ A major feature in the 3.5 release is the inclusion of support for multi-line messages, a feature that has been available in syslog-ng PE for a good while. With this, both indented and regexp-based multi-line support becomes available. For further information and examples, see the following blog post: http://asylum.madhouse-project.org/blog/2013/09/05/what-is-cooking-in-syslo… STOMP destination ----------------- Joining the message-queue club, this new destination makes syslog-ng able to send events to any STOMP-capable message queuing server, such as Apache ActiveMQ. For further information about the destination, see this commit message: https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng-3.5/commit/82d19a4d4ad3f91e8214006f6ea… Template type hinting --------------------- While syslog-ng supported sending events to various datastores and queues for a while now (SQL first, MongoDB, JSON, and AMQP later), even if those supported other types of data, syslog-ng only ever sent strings. With template type hinting, it became possible to tell syslog-ng what type a certain template should be, so that the drivers can use that information in whatever way they see fit. This is currently implemented for the MongoDB driver only. For more information about type hinting and for examples, see the following post: http://asylum.madhouse-project.org/blog/2013/09/05/what-is-cooking-in-syslo… Other features ============== * in-list() filter: this new filter function allows one to easily implement file-based white- and blacklists with a simple syntax: filter f_white { in-list("/path/to/file", value("HOST")); }; * You no longer need to remember how many zeros to put after a big number in the syslog-ng configuration file, you can use unit suffixes, such as: log-fifo-size(2GiB) See the following post for more details: http://asylum.madhouse-project.org/blog/2013/09/05/what-is-cooking-in-syslo… * A set of new string-related template functions are available: $(uppercase STRINGS...), $(lowercase STRINGS...) and $(replace-delimiter DELIMITERS NEW-DELIMITER TEXT). The first two do exactly what their names suggest, while the last one replaces all occurrences of any DELIMITERS within TEXT with the NEW-DELIMITER. * There is also a new $(env VARIABLE...) template function, which looks up the given variables in the environment. This is similar to using backticks in the configuration file, however the name of the environment variable with $(env) may contain macros too. * Support for Linux 3.5+'s /dev/kmsg was added, and the system() source will automatically detect whether to use it over /proc/kmsg. * For every correlated message in patterndb, the ${.classifier.context_id} property is automatically set to the context-id attribute of the matching rule. Incompatible changes ==================== * The replace() transformation function of value-pairs() was renamed to replace-prefix() to better reflect what it actually does. The old name remains as an obsolete alias, however. * The username() and password() options of the MongoDB destination were removed, they never did anything before, either. Miscellaneous changes ===================== * The build system was completely redone, it is much faster, more reliable, and less verbose by default now. * Several systemd-related enhancements were made, including support for notification-based startup. This also means that when systemd support is compiled in, libsystemd-daemon becomes a new dependency.

syslog-ng 3.4.2 has been released
by devel＠balabit.hu 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PACKAGE : syslog-ng VERSION : 3.4.2 SUMMARY : new stable release DATE : Jun 3, 2013 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION: A new stable version of syslog-ng Open Source Edition (3.4.2) has been released. For latest fixes in the 3.4.x feature branch you are recommended to upgrade to this version. CHANGES: 3.4.2 Mon, 3 Jun 2013 16:00:00 +0100 This is the first bug-fix release for the 3.4.x series, collecting significant fixes over the 3.4.1 release. Upgrading to this release is highly recommended. Bugfixes ======== * loggen will bail out earily if using Unix sockets without a path specified. * Using the same filter for multiple destinations does not trigger a crash anymore. [#219] * An issue with log branch propagation has been fixed, restoring compatibility with the 3.3 branch (this mostly affected flags(final) use cases). [#220] * The systemd unit file now specified Restart=on-failure. [#222] * Support for empty blocks in the configuration were restored, syslog-ng does not crash anymore when encountering one. * An assertion was fixed in patterndb, that prevented one from overriding built-in values, such as HOST. [#225] * The persist state file (syslog-ng.persist) is now marked close-on-exec, so it does not leak through to forked subprocesses. * The system() source now treats /proc/kmsg as optional: if it is not readable to the user running syslog-ng, it will not be included. * Proper escape handling in backtick insertion has been implemented, so string arguments to block parameters are - again - treated correctly. [#235] * A rare race condition in the SQL, MongoDB, SMTP and AMQP destinations have been fixed. * A possible deadlock was fixed within the suppress() handling code. Credits ======= Attila M.
