* added configuration directive "HUPisRestart"Rainer Gerhards2008-10-231-7/+13
| | | | | ...which enables to configure HUP to be either a full restart or "just" a leightweight way to close open files
* added a setting "$OptimizeForUniprocessor"Rainer Gerhards2008-10-221-2/+4
| | | | | | ...to enable users to turn off pthread_yield calls which are counter-productive on multiprocessor machines (but have been shown to be useful on uniprocessors)
* added $UDPServerTimeRequery optionRainer Gerhards2008-10-061-0/+8
| | | | | | | ...which enables to work with less acurate timestamps in favor of performance. This enables querying of the time only every n-th time if imudp is running in the tight receive loop (aka receiving messsages at a high rate)

| | * enhanced ommysql to support custom port to connect to serverRainer Gerhards2008-08-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Port can be set via new $ActionOmmysqlServerPort config directive Note: this was a very minor change and thus deemed appropriate to be done in the stable release.
* | | added ability to execute actions only after the n-th call of the actionRainer Gerhards2008-08-071-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This also lead to the addition of two new config directives: $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTime and $ActionExecOnlyEveryNthTimeTimeout This feature is useful, for example, for alerting: it permits you to send an alert only after at least n occurences of a specific message have been seen by rsyslogd. This protectes against false positives due to waiting for additional confirmation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New syntax @[addr]:port introduced to enable that. Root problem was IPv6 addresses contain colons. (backport from 3.21.3)

|/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - enhanced config file checking - no active actions are detected - added -N rsyslogd command line option for a config validation run (which does not execute actual syslogd code and does not interfere with a running instance) - somewhat improved emergency configuration. It is now also selected if the config contains no active actions - rsyslogd error messages are now reported to stderr by default. can be turned off by the new "$ErrorMessagesToStderr off" directive Thanks to HKS for suggesting these new features.

* | - Greatly enhanced rsyslogd's filw write performance by disabling fileRainer Gerhards2008-03-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | syncing capability of output modules by default. This feature is usually not required, not useful and an extreme performance hit (both to rsyslogd as well as the system at large). Unfortunately, most users enable it by default, because it was most intuitive to enable it in plain old sysklogd syslog.conf format. There is now a new config setting which must be enabled in order to support syncing. By default it is off. So even if the old-format config lines request syncing, it is not done unless explicitely enabled. I am sure this is a very useful change and not a risk at all. I need to think if I undo it under compatibility mode, but currently this does not happen (I fear a lot of lazy users will run rsyslogd in compatibility mode, again bringing up this performance problem...). - added $ActionfileEnableSync config directive

* | added capability to ignore client-provided timestamp on unix sockets andRainer Gerhards2008-03-061-14/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | made this mode the default; this was needed, as some programs (e.g. sshd) log with inconsistent timezone information, what messes up the local logs (which by default don't even contain time zone information). This seems to be consistent with what sysklogd did for the past four years. Alternate behaviour may be desirable if gateway-like processes send messages via the local log slot - in this case, it can be enabled via the $InputUnixListenSocketIgnoreMsgTimestamp and $SystemLogSocketIgnoreMsgTimestamp config directives
