Hi all, we have just released rsyslog v5, an experimental version offering much better performance and an audit-grade queue system.
Yes - you have read right. We are actually now at v5 (in parallel to v4). For the time being, we will have both a v4-devel and a v5-devel. Please see my blog post for details: http://blog.gerhards.net/2009/05/introducing-rsyslog-v5.html The v5 versions of rsyslog feature a greatly redesigned queue engine.The major theme for the v5 release is twofold: a) greatly improved performance b) enable audit-grade processing Here, audit-grade processing means that rsyslog, if used together with audit-grade transports and configured correctly, will never lose messages that already have been acknowledged, not even in fatal failure cases like sudden loss of power. Note that large parts of rsyslog's important core components have been restructured to support these design goals. As such, early versions of the engine will probably be less stable than the v3/v4 engine. Also note that the initial versions do not cover all and everything. As usual, the code will evolve toward the final goal as version numbers increase. Feedback is highly appreciated. If you have any bugs to report, I'd appreciate if you could do so via the rsyslog bugzilla: http://bugzilla.rsyslog.com Changelog: http://www.rsyslog.com/Article374.phtml Download: http://www.rsyslog.com/Downloads-req-viewdownloaddetails-lid-160.phtml As always, feedback is appreciated. Tom Bergfeld -- Support ======= Improving rsyslog is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find rsyslog useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or donate money or equipment. Commercial support contracts for rsyslog are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. Adiscon GmbH, a privately held German company, is currently funding rsyslog development. We are always looking for interesting development projects.
