From rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com Tue Aug 2 12:48:36 2005 From: rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com (Rainer Gerhards) Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2005 12:48:36 +0200 Subject: [rsyslog] rsyslog 0.9.5 released Message-ID: <577465F99B41C842AAFBE9ED71E70ABA0E3776@grfint2.intern.adiscon.com> Hi all, I have just released rsyslog 0.9.5. It supports multiple rsyslogd instances on a single machine. This can be useful for special, security-enhanced configurations. Release 0.9.5 also contains improved error message handling during startup and some bug fixes. If you are happy with version 0.9.4, there is no important reason to upgrade to this release. Version 0.9.5 as well as the next few versions upcoming are the final steps toward a 1.0 stable released. Please expect frequent smaller updates as I streamline the doc and tackle those bugs I've heared about. Major new features will become available only after 1.0. Please note that the new rsyslog site is now online at http://www.rsyslog.com This site is dirven by postnuke and now allows you to post your findings about rsyslog. There is also a forum, but it is still in its infancy. I'd appreciate suggestions for forums. Please take some time to browse the new site and let me know how I can further improve it. All the best, Rainer Gerhards From rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com Tue Aug 9 14:54:59 2005 From: rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com (Rainer Gerhards) Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 14:54:59 +0200 Subject: [rsyslog] rsyslog 0.9.6 released Message-ID: <577465F99B41C842AAFBE9ED71E70ABA0E384D@grfint2.intern.adiscon.com> I am glad to announce that I have just released rsyslog 0.9.6. This release is focussed on streamlining towards the first final 1.0 release. The documentation has been greatly enhanced and changed to html format. It now includes an installation howto. Also, samples of system startup scripts have been added, hopefully facilitating deployment. Visit the rsyslog status page for download and link to the change log: http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/status.html.phtml There is one important change for existing rsyslogd users: the syntax of the -r option has been changed. It now accepts the port that rsyslogd should listen to. That, however, breaks existing scripts. They must be changed to use "-r 0", which mimics the previous behaviour. I am sorry for this inconsistency, but I thought it is better to keep the command line options consistent - and at the current time changing that interface is hopefully not such a big issue. If we'd do it much later, it might have been impossible. The new syntax also provides ample opportunity for future enhancement, which then can be kept consistent with the -t tcp listener command line option. The next steps for rsyslog will be to look at the packaging and eventually some further minor clean-ups. I would also appreciate any feedback from practical use, especially if you should run a high-volume system. I now traget the 1.0 release for early September. There is no need to upgrade to 0.9.6 if you are happy with what you currently run. I hope the new release is helpful.

Its actually a doc issue. The compilation has changed. You need to CD into an distribution-specific subdirectory (use linux of in doubt) and then call make. Do NOT do this in the root directory of the rsyslog project. It's documented here http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/install.html.phtml Looks like I must find some other place to document it... Or find a different solution (read my blog on why I ended up with this: http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/2005/08/make-syntax-differences.html Sorry for any hassle. Suggestions are welcome!

I guess it can be helpful for other users, too. The issue is actually a small typo. You wrote: > *.* => 127.0.0.1,Syslog,root,;dbFormat the correct one would be > *.* => >127.0.0.1,Syslog,root,;dbFormat please note the greater-than-sign in front of "127.0.0.1". This is what tells rsyslog to write to the database. As a side note, you can also skipt the ";dbFormat" part if you use the default schema, so it would come down to > *.* => >127.0.0.1,Syslog,root, But please be aware that 0.9.1 has a bug, so that a semicolon at the end is needed in all cases. Regarding the make, you need to enable MySQL support by editing the makefile. If you have not done this, MySQL functionality is *not* there. And finally, I recommend to move on to version 0.9.6, which has fixed a number of glitches and also has much better documentation. You can obtain it from www.rsyslog.com. Please note that we now have good HOWTOs on both the install process as well as writing to the data base. They can be viewed online at http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/install.html.phtml http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/rsyslog_mysql.html.phtml If any of these links become broken by the mailer, simply go to http://www.rsyslog.com/doc and follow the links on that page.

Of ocurse, there is no MUST at all ;) I'd just appreciate it when it is about setup or similar things that are of interest for others, too. Anyhow, it might create some additinal traffic on the list, which might not be soo great for those only interested in announcements. Maybe it would be a good idea to create a special list for those. Anyhow: if you prefer to contact me via private mail, please do. I would just very much appreciate to post things of common interest to the list, so others with a similar problem can find the solution and I do not need to answer the same thing ever and ever again ;) There is also a forum since recently: http://www.rsyslog.com/PNphpBB2.phtml This is also an excellent place to ask questions. > [2] Of course I explain why I need to use a rsyslog this > Monday.

I still do not understand how this slipped through my testing... Anyhow: to cut a long story short: in the distro-specific Makefiles is a line WITHDB=-DWITHDB That line is wrong. It correctly must read as follows: WITHDB=-DWITH_DB (Note the understcore in the second WITH_DB - and only there!) So if you experience non-working DB connections, that's probably the cause. I will see that I release a fixed 0.9.7 later today, but I thought I let you know beforehand. Sorry for any hassle.

It fixes the annoyances with 0.9.6. I decided to release this unplanned version so that install and build again works flawlessly. I intend to release at least one more version before final release. Probably at the end of the week. The change log for 0.9.7 can be found at http://www.rsyslog.com/Article26.phtml I hope this settles the issues. Rainer From rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com Tue Aug 2 12:48:36 2005 From: rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com (Rainer Gerhards) Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2005 12:48:36 +0200 Subject: [rsyslog] rsyslog 0.9.5 released Message-ID: <577465F99B41C842AAFBE9ED71E70ABA0E3776@grfint2.intern.adiscon.com> Hi all, I have just released rsyslog 0.9.5. It supports multiple rsyslogd instances on a single machine. This can be useful for special, security-enhanced configurations. Release 0.9.5 also contains improved error message handling during startup and some bug fixes. If you are happy with version 0.9.4, there is no important reason to upgrade to this release. Version 0.9.5 as well as the next few versions upcoming are the final steps toward a 1.0 stable released. Please expect frequent smaller updates as I streamline the doc and tackle those bugs I've heared about. Major new features will become available only after 1.0. Please note that the new rsyslog site is now online at http://www.rsyslog.com This site is dirven by postnuke and now allows you to post your findings about rsyslog. There is also a forum, but it is still in its infancy. I'd appreciate suggestions for forums. Please take some time to browse the new site and let me know how I can further improve it. All the best, Rainer Gerhards From rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com Tue Aug 9 14:54:59 2005 From: rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com (Rainer Gerhards) Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 14:54:59 +0200 Subject: [rsyslog] rsyslog 0.9.6 released Message-ID: <577465F99B41C842AAFBE9ED71E70ABA0E384D@grfint2.intern.adiscon.com> I am glad to announce that I have just released rsyslog 0.9.6. This release is focussed on streamlining towards the first final 1.0 release. The documentation has been greatly enhanced and changed to html format. It now includes an installation howto. Also, samples of system startup scripts have been added, hopefully facilitating deployment. Visit the rsyslog status page for download and link to the change log: http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/status.html.phtml There is one important change for existing rsyslogd users: the syntax of the -r option has been changed. It now accepts the port that rsyslogd should listen to. That, however, breaks existing scripts. They must be changed to use "-r 0", which mimics the previous behaviour. I am sorry for this inconsistency, but I thought it is better to keep the command line options consistent - and at the current time changing that interface is hopefully not such a big issue. If we'd do it much later, it might have been impossible. The new syntax also provides ample opportunity for future enhancement, which then can be kept consistent with the -t tcp listener command line option. The next steps for rsyslog will be to look at the packaging and eventually some further minor clean-ups. I would also appreciate any feedback from practical use, especially if you should run a high-volume system. I now traget the 1.0 release for early September. There is no need to upgrade to 0.9.6 if you are happy with what you currently run. I hope the new release is helpful.

Its actually a doc issue. The compilation has changed. You need to CD into an distribution-specific subdirectory (use linux of in doubt) and then call make. Do NOT do this in the root directory of the rsyslog project. It's documented here http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/install.html.phtml Looks like I must find some other place to document it... Or find a different solution (read my blog on why I ended up with this: http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/2005/08/make-syntax-differences.html Sorry for any hassle. Suggestions are welcome!

I guess it can be helpful for other users, too. The issue is actually a small typo. You wrote: > *.* => 127.0.0.1,Syslog,root,;dbFormat the correct one would be > *.* => >127.0.0.1,Syslog,root,;dbFormat please note the greater-than-sign in front of "127.0.0.1". This is what tells rsyslog to write to the database. As a side note, you can also skipt the ";dbFormat" part if you use the default schema, so it would come down to > *.* => >127.0.0.1,Syslog,root, But please be aware that 0.9.1 has a bug, so that a semicolon at the end is needed in all cases. Regarding the make, you need to enable MySQL support by editing the makefile. If you have not done this, MySQL functionality is *not* there. And finally, I recommend to move on to version 0.9.6, which has fixed a number of glitches and also has much better documentation. You can obtain it from www.rsyslog.com. Please note that we now have good HOWTOs on both the install process as well as writing to the data base. They can be viewed online at http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/install.html.phtml http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/rsyslog_mysql.html.phtml If any of these links become broken by the mailer, simply go to http://www.rsyslog.com/doc and follow the links on that page.

Of ocurse, there is no MUST at all ;) I'd just appreciate it when it is about setup or similar things that are of interest for others, too. Anyhow, it might create some additinal traffic on the list, which might not be soo great for those only interested in announcements. Maybe it would be a good idea to create a special list for those. Anyhow: if you prefer to contact me via private mail, please do. I would just very much appreciate to post things of common interest to the list, so others with a similar problem can find the solution and I do not need to answer the same thing ever and ever again ;) There is also a forum since recently: http://www.rsyslog.com/PNphpBB2.phtml This is also an excellent place to ask questions. > [2] Of course I explain why I need to use a rsyslog this > Monday.

I still do not understand how this slipped through my testing... Anyhow: to cut a long story short: in the distro-specific Makefiles is a line WITHDB=-DWITHDB That line is wrong. It correctly must read as follows: WITHDB=-DWITH_DB (Note the understcore in the second WITH_DB - and only there!) So if you experience non-working DB connections, that's probably the cause. I will see that I release a fixed 0.9.7 later today, but I thought I let you know beforehand. Sorry for any hassle.

It fixes the annoyances with 0.9.6. I decided to release this unplanned version so that install and build again works flawlessly. I intend to release at least one more version before final release. Probably at the end of the week. The change log for 0.9.7 can be found at http://www.rsyslog.com/Article26.phtml I hope this settles the issues.

It supports multiple rsyslogd instances on a single machine. This can be useful for special, security-enhanced configurations. Release 0.9.5 also contains improved error message handling during startup and some bug fixes. If you are happy with version 0.9.4, there is no important reason to upgrade to this release. Version 0.9.5 as well as the next few versions upcoming are the final steps toward a 1.0 stable released. Please expect frequent smaller updates as I streamline the doc and tackle those bugs I've heared about. Major new features will become available only after 1.0. Please note that the new rsyslog site is now online at http://www.rsyslog.com This site is dirven by postnuke and now allows you to post your findings about rsyslog. There is also a forum, but it is still in its infancy. I'd appreciate suggestions for forums. Please take some time to browse the new site and let me know how I can further improve it. All the best, Rainer Gerhards From rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com Tue Aug 9 14:54:59 2005 From: rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com (Rainer Gerhards) Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 14:54:59 +0200 Subject: [rsyslog] rsyslog 0.9.6 released Message-ID: <577465F99B41C842AAFBE9ED71E70ABA0E384D@grfint2.intern.adiscon.com> I am glad to announce that I have just released rsyslog 0.9.6. This release is focussed on streamlining towards the first final 1.0 release. The documentation has been greatly enhanced and changed to html format. It now includes an installation howto. Also, samples of system startup scripts have been added, hopefully facilitating deployment. Visit the rsyslog status page for download and link to the change log: http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/status.html.phtml There is one important change for existing rsyslogd users: the syntax of the -r option has been changed. It now accepts the port that rsyslogd should listen to. That, however, breaks existing scripts. They must be changed to use "-r 0", which mimics the previous behaviour. I am sorry for this inconsistency, but I thought it is better to keep the command line options consistent - and at the current time changing that interface is hopefully not such a big issue. If we'd do it much later, it might have been impossible. The new syntax also provides ample opportunity for future enhancement, which then can be kept consistent with the -t tcp listener command line option. The next steps for rsyslog will be to look at the packaging and eventually some further minor clean-ups. I would also appreciate any feedback from practical use, especially if you should run a high-volume system. I now traget the 1.0 release for early September. There is no need to upgrade to 0.9.6 if you are happy with what you currently run. I hope the new release is helpful.

Its actually a doc issue. The compilation has changed. You need to CD into an distribution-specific subdirectory (use linux of in doubt) and then call make. Do NOT do this in the root directory of the rsyslog project. It's documented here http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/install.html.phtml Looks like I must find some other place to document it... Or find a different solution (read my blog on why I ended up with this: http://rgerhards.blogspot.com/2005/08/make-syntax-differences.html Sorry for any hassle. Suggestions are welcome!

I guess it can be helpful for other users, too. The issue is actually a small typo. You wrote: > *.* => 127.0.0.1,Syslog,root,;dbFormat the correct one would be > *.* => >127.0.0.1,Syslog,root,;dbFormat please note the greater-than-sign in front of "127.0.0.1". This is what tells rsyslog to write to the database. As a side note, you can also skipt the ";dbFormat" part if you use the default schema, so it would come down to > *.* => >127.0.0.1,Syslog,root, But please be aware that 0.9.1 has a bug, so that a semicolon at the end is needed in all cases. Regarding the make, you need to enable MySQL support by editing the makefile. If you have not done this, MySQL functionality is *not* there. And finally, I recommend to move on to version 0.9.6, which has fixed a number of glitches and also has much better documentation. You can obtain it from www.rsyslog.com. Please note that we now have good HOWTOs on both the install process as well as writing to the data base. They can be viewed online at http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/install.html.phtml http://www.rsyslog.com/Documentation-/rsyslog_mysql.html.phtml If any of these links become broken by the mailer, simply go to http://www.rsyslog.com/doc and follow the links on that page.

Of ocurse, there is no MUST at all ;) I'd just appreciate it when it is about setup or similar things that are of interest for others, too. Anyhow, it might create some additinal traffic on the list, which might not be soo great for those only interested in announcements. Maybe it would be a good idea to create a special list for those. Anyhow: if you prefer to contact me via private mail, please do. I would just very much appreciate to post things of common interest to the list, so others with a similar problem can find the solution and I do not need to answer the same thing ever and ever again ;) There is also a forum since recently: http://www.rsyslog.com/PNphpBB2.phtml This is also an excellent place to ask questions. > [2] Of course I explain why I need to use a rsyslog this > Monday.

I still do not understand how this slipped through my testing... Anyhow: to cut a long story short: in the distro-specific Makefiles is a line WITHDB=-DWITHDB That line is wrong. It correctly must read as follows: WITHDB=-DWITH_DB (Note the understcore in the second WITH_DB - and only there!) So if you experience non-working DB connections, that's probably the cause. I will see that I release a fixed 0.9.7 later today, but I thought I let you know beforehand. Sorry for any hassle.

It fixes the annoyances with 0.9.6. I decided to release this unplanned version so that install and build again works flawlessly. I intend to release at least one more version before final release. Probably at the end of the week. The change log for 0.9.7 can be found at http://www.rsyslog.com/Article26.phtml I hope this settles the issues. Rainer
