Log Message:
Update sysutils/rsyslog to 8.22.0.
Version 8.22.0 [v8-stable] 2016-10-04
- ompgsql: add template support
Thanks to Radu Gheorghe for implementing this.
- generate somewhat better error message on config file syntax error
a common case (object at invalid location) has received it's own error
message; for the rest we still rely on the generic flex/bison handler
- bugfix:omhiredis reconnects after failure
previously it could loose messages under such conditions.
Thanks to Bob Gregory for the patch.
- general cleanup and code improvement
mostly guided by compiler warnings induced by newer opensuse builbot
environment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 8.21.0 [v8-stable] 2016-08-23
- CHANGE OF BEHAVIOUR:
by default, internal messages are no longer logged via the internal
bridge to rsyslog but via the syslog() API call [either directly or
via liblogging). For the typical single-rsyslogd-instance installation this
is mostly unnoticable (except for some additional latency). If multiple
instances are run, only the "main" (the one processing system log \
messages)
will see all messages. To return to the old behaviour, do either of those
two:
1) add in rsyslog.conf:
global(processInternalMessages="on")
2) export the environment variable RSYSLOG_DFLT_LOG_INTERNAL=1
This will set a new default - the value can still be overwritten via
rsyslog.conf (method 1). Note that the environment variable must be
set in your **startup script**.

- slightly improved TLS syslog error messages
- queue subsystem: improved robustness
The .qi file is now persisted whenever an existing queue file is fully
written and a new file is begun. This helps with rsyslog aborts, including
the common case where the OS issues kill -9 because of insufficiently
configured termination timout (this is an OS config error, but a frequent
one). Also, a situation where an orphaned empty file could be left in the
queue work directory has been fixed. We expect that this change causes
fewer permanent queue failures.
- bugfix: build failed on some platforms due to missing include files
