Published by lbudai almost 10 years ago
This is the first production ready version of syslog-ng OSE 3.6.
More than 25000 lines fof code changed, with about 500 file modified.
The changes since the latest release are the following:
PCRE is now a required dependency of syslog-ng, and is not optional
anymore.
Threaded mode is now enabled by default. To turn it off, use
threaded(no)
in the global options section.
The versioning of the libsyslog-ng
internal library has changed:
instead of always using the current release number, we will now try
to maintain ABI compatibility during the lifetime of a stable
branch. Therefore, we use only the first two components of our
version as the base of the library version. Another number will be
part of the SONAME too, but that will only change when we break
compatibility.
The SONAME is currently set to libsyslog-ng-3.6.so.0
, and will
remain the same during alpha and beta releases, even when the ABI
changes. We will start bumping the version after the first stable
release from this branch, if needed.
The flush-lines()
setting now defaults to 100, rather than 1,
for increased speed.

global setting was introduced, which allowsuse-rcptid()

.

option is now implemented, and works for all of theThe multi-line-mode()
option gained a new setting:
prefix-suffix
, which works similarly to the prefix-garbage
(which is the new name for regexp
), except it appends the garbage
part to the message, instead of discarding it.
This new mode can be used to work around the absence of a timeout.
Filters default to PCRE matching, instead of the previous POSIX
regexp default.
The system()
source will now parse @cim
marked messages as JSON,
if the JSON module is available at run-time. This improves
inter-operation with other software that uses the Common
Information Model.
One can now use multiple elements in the key()
and exclude()
options of any value-pairs declaration.
It is now possible to load not only a single certificate when using
TLS, but a certificate chain.

type hint is now supported by the driver.smtp()
destination now supports a retries()
option, whichto()
, cc()

) are not set.The unix-dgram()
and unix-stream()
sources now extract UNIX
credentials (PID, UID and GID of the sending application) from the
passed messages, if any. On Linux, and FreeBSD, the path of the
executable belonging to PID is extracted too, along with
command-line arguments.
The extracted values are available in ${.unix.pid}
,
${.unix.uid}
, ${.unix.gid}
, ${.unix.exe}
and
${.unix.cmdline}
, respectively.
The system()
source will overwrite the PID macro with the value of
${.unix.pid}
, if present.
The json-parser gained an extract-prefix()
option, which can be
used to tell the parser to only extract JSON members from a specific
subtree of the incoming object.
Example: json-parser(extract-prefix("foo.bar[5]"));
Assuming that the incoming object is named msg, this is equivalent
to the following javascript code: msg.foo.bar[5]
The resulting expression must be a JSON object, so that syslog-ng
can extract its members into LogMessage name-value pairs.
This also works when the top-level object is an array, as
extract-prefix()
allows the use of an array index at the first
indirection level, for example:
json-parser(extract-prefix("[5]"));
, which translates to msg[5]
.
The $(format-json)
template function now handles the double()
type hint.
$RUNID
macro is available for templates, which changes itscontrib/valgrind/
), to aid in debugging memory leaks in syslog-ng.system-expand
, was added, which returns what thesystem()
source would expand to.The reliability of the usertty()
destination driver was greatly
improved. Previously, some parts of it were not thread-safe, which
could result in strange behaviour.
The handling of escape related flags of csvparser()
was changed:
instead of these flags overwriting all other (even non-escape
related) flags, if the flag to set is an escape-flag, it will keep
all non-escape flags, and set the new one. If it is a not such a
flag, then it will clear all flags, and set the previous escape
flags, and the new flag.
This, in essence, means that when setting flags on a csvparser()
,
if it is an escape flag, only escape flags will be affected. If not,
then escape flags will not be affected at all.
The SQL destination now correctly continues $SEQNUM counting after a
reload, instead of starting afresh.
Casting error eliminated in Riemann destination when metric is applied to
an empty field.
From now, syslog-ng always exclude attributes that conflict with properties
in Riemann destination (otherwise value of the attribute would override the
property).
When tring to stop syslog-ng while a reload is in progress,
syslog-ng will now correctly shut down cleanly.
Reloading a config file containing runtime error now not ends in a crash,
it is able to fallback to the original config.
(runtime error: config file is grammatically valid but containing invalid
value, eg.: wrong database column name)
When the local hostname is not an FQDN, and the local resolver fails
to return an FQDN too, syslog-ng does not abort anymore, but
continues using a non-FQDN hostname after emitting a warning on the
internal source.
Furthermore, syslog-ng will try to resolve the FQDN harder: when
multiple names are returned, it will search for the first FQDN one,
instead of stopping at the primary name.
The update-patterndb
script will now work correctly when the
current working directory contains .pdb files.
Patterndb fixed to apply condition even if context-id is missing.
We will now correctly handle time going backwards in patterndb: it
will realign its idea of current time with the system. This corrects
a bug where timeouts did not function properly when system time was
set backwards.
The pdbtool merge
command will now generate version 4 patterndb
files.
The Linux capability support is now correctly auto-detected by the
configure script, and defaults to off on FreeBSD 9+, as it should.
The file()
and network()
(including tcp()
et al) sources will
now properly set the $SOURCE
macro.
The basicfuncs module was fixed to work correctly on 32-bit
architectures.
The stored
statistics is no longer incremented by various drivers
when they mean processed
.
The type hinting feature is now more picky about what kind of type
hints it accepts, allowing one to use template functions in - for
example - $(format-json)
pairs.
All the various crypto-related template functions now check that the
desired length of the digest is not larger than the digest itself.
If a larger value is requested, they will truncate it to the digest
length.
The $(geoip)
template function now works with threaded(yes)
too.
The in-list()
filter was fixed to look at all elements of the
list, instead of only the last one.
Fixed an assertion when using the match()
filter under certain
circumstances.
The system()
source will not add /dev/kmsg
(or /proc/kmsg
on
older kernels) to the default sources if using the systemd journal,
because kernel logs are included in the journal.
The system()
source will not include /dev/kmsg
(or /proc/kmsg
)
when running inside a Linux container.
Various memory leak fixes around the code base.
Change control socket message from notice to debug
Opening control socket disabled when syslog-ng is used for only
syntax-checking.
Fixes for retries() functionality.
Retry counter incremented by every message write error
(including network connection errors) which can lead to message lost.

This is the first alpha release of the upcoming syslog-ng OSE 3.6 branch, a result of about seven months of work, by more than a dozen contributors, touching 379 files, and changing over twenty thousand lines.
Compared to the latest stable release (3.5.5), this alpha release contains the following noteworthy changes:
PCRE is now a required dependency of syslog-ng, and is not optional anymore.
custom-domain()
global setting was introduced, which allows the administrator to override the local domain name used by syslog-ng. It affects all locally generated log messages.use-rcptid()
global option, that tells syslog-ng to assign a reception ID to each message received and generated by syslog-ng. This ID is available as the $RCPTID
macro, and is unique on a given host. The counter wraps around at 48 bits and is never zero.pseudofile()
destination driver is a very simple driver, aimed at delivering messages to special files in /proc
or /dev
. It opens and closes the file on each message, instead of keeping it open. It does not support templates in the filename, and does not have a queue (and as such, is not adequate in high traffic situations).nodejs()
source driver (implemented as an SCL macro) adds a source driver that allows syslog-ng to accept messages from node.js applications that use the winston
logging API.The multi-line-mode()
option gained a new setting: prefix-suffix
, which works similarly to the prefix-garbage
(which is the new name for regexp
), except it appends the garbage part to the message, instead of discarding it.
This new mode can be used to work around the absence of a timeout.
Filters default to PCRE matching, instead of the previous POSIX regexp default.
stats-lifetime()
global option was introduced, which controls how often dynamic counters are expired. The timer is not exact, some timers may live a little bit longer than the specified time.stats-lifetime()
minutes (defaulting to 10 minutes) instead of only on reloads. This change was done to reduce the memory used by dynamic counters.internal_queue_length
statistic, which shows the length of the internal queue. This is most useful to see if the internal()
source is not connected, or if it is not being emptied fast enough (which, again, indicates a more serious error).mongodb()
driver now supports authentication, even when using replica sets. When re-connecting to another member of the set, the driver will automatically re-authenticate.--with-libmongo-client
option of the configure script now supports auto
as a value, and will then detect whether to use the system version of the library or the internal copy. We default to auto
now, which prefers the system library over the internal copy._id
field to the message: the server will do that automatically, if none is present. This allows users to override the field from within their syslog-ng config.retries()
option can be used to tell the driver how many times it should try to insert a message into the database before giving up (defaults to 3). This fixes the case where a rogue message could hold up the entire queue, as it was retried forever.safe-mode()
by default.double()
type hint is now supported by the driver.The unix-dgram()
and unix-stream()
sources now extract UNIX credentials (PID, UID and GID of the sending application) from the passed messages, if any. On Linux, and FreeBSD, the path of the executable belonging to PID is extracted too, along with command-line arguments.
The extracted values are available in ${.unix.pid}
, ${.unix.uid}
, ${.unix.gid}
, ${.unix.exe}
and ${.unix.cmdline}
, respectively.
The system()
source will overwrite the PID macro with the value of ${.unix.pid}
, if present.
The json-parser gained an extract-prefix()
option, which can be used to tell the parser to only extract JSON members from a specific subtree of the incoming object.
Example: json-parser(extract-prefix("foo.bar[5]"));
Assuming that the incoming object is named msg, this is equivalent to the following javascript code: msg.foo.bar[5]
The resulting expression must be a JSON object, so that syslog-ng can extract its members into LogMessage name-value pairs.
This also works when the top-level object is an array, as extract-prefix()
allows the use of an array index at the first indirection level, for example: json-parser(extract-prefix("[5]"));
, which translates to msg[5]
.
The $(format-json)
template function now handles the double()
type hint.
$RUNID
macro is available for templates, which changes its value every time syslog-ng is restarted, but not when reloaded.contrib/valgrind/
), to aid in debugging memory leaks in syslog-ng. It supresses a couple of known false positives, and a few other things in third-party libraries.system-expand
, was added, which returns what the system()
source would expand to.With the MongoDB destination, successfully inserted messages are not counted as "stored" anymore: stored messages are those that are in a memory or disk buffer.
In the MongoDB destination, reconnecting in a replica-set environment now works correctly, and reliably.
The reliability of the usertty()
destination driver was greatly improved. Previously, some parts of it were not thread-safe, which could result in strange behaviour.
The handling of escape related flags of csvparser()
was changed: instead of these flags overwriting all other (even non-escape related) flags, if the flag to set is an escape-flag, it will keep all non-escape flags, and set the new one. If it is a not such a flag, then it will clear all flags, and set the previous escape flags, and the new flag.
This, in essence, means that when setting flags on a csvparser()
, if it is an escape flag, only escape flags will be affected. If not, then escape flags will not be affected at all.
The SQL destination now correctly continues $SEQNUM counting after a reload, instead of starting afresh.
When tring to stop syslog-ng while a reload is in progress, syslog-ng will now correctly shut down cleanly.
When the local hostname is not an FQDN, and the local resolver fails to return an FQDN too, syslog-ng does not abort anymore, but continues using a non-FQDN hostname after emitting a warning on the internal source.
Furthermore, syslog-ng will try to resolve the FQDN harder: when multiple names are returned, it will search for the first FQDN one, instead of stopping at the primary name.

script will now work correctly when the current working directory contains .pdb files.
We will now correctly handle time going backwards in patterndb: it will realign its idea of current time with the system. This corrects a bug where timeouts did not function properly when system time was set backwards.

This is the fifth bug-fix release for the 3.5.x series. Starting with this release, the 3.5 branch replaces 3.4 as the current "stable" version. Upgrading from earlier versions - and especially earlier branches - is highly recommended.
facility()

template function now supports SEQNUM
.Major memory leaks have been fixed in various parts of syslog-ng, including but not limited to network and file destinations and sources, value-pairs
(thus affecting mongodb
, $(format-json)
, and others), template handling and rewrite rules.
Some of these leaks only happened during reload, some leaked on every message. They have now been plugged.
The value-pairs
framework has seen a lot of updates, too:
key()
option of value pairs will now also search macros for matches (thus key("D*")
will match DATE
too).syslog-proto
(RFC5424) scope now correctly includes SDATA
.The body()
and subject()
options of the SMTP destinations are now mandatory, and a double-free was also fixed in the driver.
Minor fixes were made to the $(env)
template function, so that when looking up an empty environment variable, we will no longer trigger a glib warning. A misleading error message was also corrected.
The pdbtool
patternize tool will now output version 4 PDB XML.
The configure script will not try to configure the AMQP module if no suitable version of python is installed. This avoids a difficult to diagnose error message during compilation.
