WinSyslog 7.4 Final (Build Service 7.4.447/Client 7.4.351)

– Enhanced Syslog/BEEP implementation for better interoperability with Cisco’s implementation in IOS. The BEEP support has been in our products for a long time, but so far no major vendor offered BEEP support. Now that a first major vendor implementation is available, we need to tweak a few protocol parameters to make it fully interoprable. This has happened now.

– Added new property $NOW, which is the local time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS. Note that “.” is used instead of “:” in the timestamp to make this value suitable for filename-generation.

– Enhanced performance of debuglogging and added more debug outputs into certain areas of the Agent.

– Implemented advanced memory management which is available on Windows XP/2003 and higher. This will speeds up overall processing in general depending on your Services and Actions.

– Added property replacer option “compsp”, to compress spaces inside a property

– This bugfix applies for TCP based operations of these both actions. A Send/Receive TimeOut of 30 seconds has beend added into into these actions to avoid possible lockdown of the service.

– Fixed a bug where a UDP socket send returned with “WSAEMSGSIZE (10040) Message too long” when an oversize packet was tried to be sent. The message is now simply truncated, there is no other option available to handle such cases.

– Fixed a bug that could cause the product to become unresponsive after a action failed to process.

– Fixed a bug which could lead to invalid detections of search strings.

– This bug concerns the UDP and TCP listener only. A problem with RFC3164 parsing could lead to an internal crash of the Syslog Listener. This condition happened very seldom, depending on some syslog messages. This Bug has been fixed now.
