WinSyslog 14.2 Final (Build Service 14.2.0.575/Client 14.2.0.601)

Posted on by

Release Date: 2017-07-24

Build-IDs: Service 14.2.0.575, Client 14.2.0.601

 Features

  • Syslog Action: Added support to overwrite Syslog Priority/Facility
  • File Action: Added option to control the Filehandle timeout when using dynamic filenames.
  • Property Engine: Added two new property replacer options “toipv4address” and “toipv6address” to resolve a property into a valid IPv4 or IPv6 Address.
  • Filter Engine: Implemented a new regular expressions compare operation.
    More details on how to use REGEX can be found in the new documentation.
  • Configuration Reload: Added new options to add a random delay between configuration checks. The delay is limited to 60 seconds as it will also delay the service control manager communication.

 Bugfixes
  • Syslog Action: Fixed bug in Syslog Cache processing when saved messages were larger than 4096 bytes.
  • File Action: Fixed closing filehandles on very busy systems.
  • Filter Engine: Fixed Extended IP Filtering when using lower or greater compare operation.
  • Normalize Action: Removed incorrect NULL Byte at the end of the INPUT String.

    They weren’t removed properly in filter values.

WinSyslog 14.1 Final (Build Service 14.1.0.571/Client 14.1.0.596)

Posted on by

Release Date: 2017-03-27

Build-IDs: Service 14.1.0.571, Client 14.1.0.596

 Features
  • Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.2k.
  • Configuration Reload: This is a big new core feature allowing the
    service to reload itself automatically after a configuration changed has
    been detected. The feature can be turned off in General-General Options if
    this new behavior is not wanted. By default auto reload will be enabled.
    The latest Configuration Client is required for the feature to fully work.
  • SNMP Receiver: Added new compressed output format for message property.
  • FileConfig: Changed datafile saving method, more reliable when the
    service is stopped unintentionally while updating data state files.
  • Send SNMP action: Added new variable for SNMPv1 AgentIP field. By
    default the property will be set to %source%.
  • Send Syslog Action: Added new option to enable/disable UTF8 BOM. Default
    is enabled like before, but it can be disabled now by configuration so the
    message won’t contain the UTF8 BOM.

 Bugfixes
  • Property Engine: Fixed SystemID and CustomerID properties.
  • FileConfig: Due a missing property (FilterVersion), some of the global
    conditions in rule filters could not be used. This automatically fixes
    itself next time the configuration is saved with the Client.
  • Debug Logging: Completely rewritten debug output for Rule Engine
    (Filters) for better readability and analysis.
  • Fixed an compatibility issue on Windows 2003/XP (failed to start because
    WSAPoll API is missing).
  • FileConfig: Fixed an issue with invalid linefeeds when using includefile
    directive.
  • FileConfig: Fixed EnumRegkey emulation causing EventLog Monitor Services
    to load invalid eventlog channels.
  • Debug Logging: Moved RELP Debugging from minimal to internal
  • SNMP Trap Receiver: Fixed handling of SNMPv1 Enterprise traps. All
    properties are now properly set.
  • SNMP Trap Receiver: Fixed shutdown of Service causing a problem when
    reloading configuration.

 Bugfixes
  • File Configuration: Fixed an issue loading file configuration when invalid characters where within config files like UTF8 BOM.

WinSyslog 13.3 Final (Build Service 13.3.546/Client 13.3.585)

Posted on by

Release Date: 2016-09-19

Build-IDs: Service 13.3.546, Client 13.3.585

 Features
  • OpenSSL library updated to 1.0.2h.
  • Adiscon SNMP Mib:
    • Changed DisplayString limit from 255 characters to 65536. Now, strings above 255 characters can be send using the adiscon mibs.
  • Permitted Senders:
    • If enabled, these senders cannot be deleted during runtime and have to be configured. Otherwise localhost will be used as default.

 

 Bugfixes
  • Send Syslog Action:
    • Fixed an issue with the “Disable processing, forward as it is” Option. RawSyslogMsg property is used instead of msg property.
  • Send Relp Action:
    • Fixed an issue in the Session Close shutdown procedure which could lead to leaking sessions on Relp Servers.
    • Fixed an issue setting a proper status on failure.
    • Fixed a problem handling socket failures.
  • File Action:
    • Fixed issue detecting the last used file on startup when Circular Logging is enabled.
  • Relp Listener:
    • Fixed Socketsystem startup if only one Relp Listener Service was configured without any other network related services.
  • Syslog Server:
    • Fixed an issue relaying the priority / facility properties on Syslog Forward. The prifac property was not properly recreated if the message source was Syslog.
    • Syslog Server: Fixed an issue with RFC5424 header parsing which partially parsed invalid formatted syslog messages. This broke the original message.
    • Fixed a parsing issue (TCP Protocol only) when the syslog header was missing. When the first characters were a number, TCP Syslog tried to detect octet framing. This failed but the beginning characters of the message were lost. Also octet framing was not disabled resulting in unexpected endings of the message.
    • Fixed an issue with RFC 3164 Syslog Header parsing when “take syslog source from msg” is enabled.
  • Property Replacer:
    • Date related options are now evaluated before and after the property is truncated. But only if a match before the string truncation was not successful.
