WinSyslog 3.7 Released
Erftstadt, Germany, 2001-12-11.
Adiscon GmbH today announced the immediate availability of WinSyslog 3.7.
The new release is a maintenance release that offers both some fixes as well as
enhancements.
The new release offers the following enhancements:
- Customizable email subject line. We do now have support for
replacement characters. So the event source, facility, priority and message
content can be included into the email subject. Great for pagers and
cellular phones, which often only display the subject line of a message sent
to them.
- RFC3164 compatible date and time parsing. If enabled, the receive
time stamp is taken from the syslog message rather than from the local
system time. Full RFC 3164 compatibility becomes available later.
- Unique file name generation (based on system date) can now be turned
off. This was requested by customers monitoring syslog files with
external file monitor processes.
- File Logging data fields are now configurable. Date/Time, Facility
and Priority fields can now be turned off. If so, they won't be written to
the log file.
- Solved an usability issue. When using the rule wizard with standard
settings, a syslog forward to local host was often accidentally created.
This in turn lead to a loop where each message received was forwarded to
WinSyslog itself, starting an endless iteration. Now, even when forwarding
is enabled it is disabled by the product if no syslog forwarder address is
specified (we formerly used a default of 127.0.0.1).
- Fixed a bug that occurred when ODBC logging was used with Oracle.
Also, with some vesions of SQL server seconds were truncated in the time
stamp. That has been solved, too.
- Improved the WinSyslog Client speed. Especially slow machines with
Windows XP should see a faster WinSyslog realtime log display.
WinSyslog 3.7 is a free download found at
Adiscon's web site. Interested users should download and try out the
version.
