csv-parser: fixed drop-invalid handling
30
31
drop-invalid was not handled properly and caused valid messages
32
to be dropped.
33
34
The parser drops messages if:
35
* not all columns are processed
36
* there are leftover characters at the end of the parsing
37
38
Greedy columns can be empty though.
39
40
Testcases were extended to hopefully cover all cases now.

logwriter: fixed flush_timeout handling on non-file destinations
122
123
Non-file destinations may not always be willing to accept messages, which
124
means that even if the flush_timeout elapsed, the destination may not be
125
ready to accept messages.
126
127
However log_writer_fd_prepare() basically assumed that once the timeout
128
elapses we can immediately start writing messages (which is true for
129
file destinations but false for others).
130
131
This patch fixes this case.

main: stay in foreground if syntax-check or debug is requested
142
143
There's simply no reason to go into the background just to check the
144
syntax of the configuration file.
145
146
Likewise, debug messages may generate feedback loops in the configuration
147
thus it is not safe to enable them unless internal messages are only
148
going to the stderr and syslog-ng is configured to be run in
149
the foreground.

261
introduce a new syntax to skip owner/group/perm setting on a per-file basis
262
263
This change was originally an intended behaviour, but due to a design
264
problem how global options were inherited to a per-destination basis
265
at the end it wasn't.
266
267
The documented behaviour to skip owner/group/perm setting on a given file
268
is to use "-1" as the value, however this only gets applied if _both_
269
the per-destination and the global values are "-1".
270
271
E.g. if you want something like:
272
273
options { owner("adm"); };
274
275
destination d_file_def { file("/var/log/default-owner"); };
276
destination d_file { file("/var/log/no-owner" owner("-1")); };
277
278
The intention with a config like this is ambigious:
279
* the logical outcome would be to tell syslog-ng not to touch the
280
ownership of the "no-owner" file in any way
281
* the reality however is that "adm" ownership would be applied to
282
"no-owner" as well, since the "-1" value is used internally in syslog-ng
283
to indicate that no per-destination value was specified.
284
285
The only way to tell syslog-ng not to touch the ownership of a file is to
286
set the global setting to -1 and either set -1 for the destination, or omit
287
the setting (which defaults to -1).
288
289
Since it would be tricky to fix this without incompatibilities, I've decided
290
not to make any, and introduced an additional syntax, which I think is
291
easier to understand than the original trick with "-1":
292
293
destination d_file { file("/var/log/no-owner" owner()); };
294
295
This means that the file ownership shouldn't be changed regardless of the
296
global setting. Internally this is equal to "-2", so the above is equivalent to
297
298
destination d_file { file("/var/log/no-owner" owner(-2)); };
299
300
But that's an implementation detail, you don't need to know.
301
302
Please note that this patch depends on the parent patch as well, without
303
it, it won't function properly.

Make sure that negative values never get resolved using getpwnam/getgrnam
310
311
Originally reported by the SUSE maintainer, syslog-ng is sometimes resolving
312
invalid usernames using getpwnam/getgrnam. Before this patch,
313
syslog-ng first attempted to resolve usernames using NSS, then if that failed
314
tried to interpret them as numeric values.
315
316
This logic was reversed, now we first check if it is a number, then if that
317
fails do we proceed with resolving the username using getpwnam.
318
319
Once here, I've also did some cleanups to make the bed for a follow-up patch:
320
* change all uid_t/gid_t/mode_t variables to "gint" instead of their
321
respective types, to make sure that we can represent negative values
322
there
323
* all occurences which tried to interpret uid/gid/mode information was
324
changed to interpret all negative values the same as -1 (do nothing).
325
This makes it possible to use further extremal values in the future.
326
327
The original report came with a patch, but the original goal
328
was completely reimplemented using a different means by Balazs Scheidler.

SIGHUP handling: block SIGHUP while reload is being carried out
337
338
Reported by the SUSE maintainer that it is possible for syslog-ng to receive
339
multiple SIGHUP signals while the reload operation is being carried out.
340
341
This patch changes SIGHUP/SIGCHLD processing to block these signals while
342
handling the signal is being done.

logmsg: don't expect a hostname for local transports in the log message
351
352
syslog-ng expected the same message format for both local and network
353
transports. However this seems to cause problems for applications that
354
embed a space in their $PROGRAM field, e.g.
355
356
logger -t "alma korte" message
357
358
Since we know that $HOST is always empty for local log transports
359
(checked for Linux, FreeBSD, AIX, HP-UX and Solaris) we can simply
360
assume that even if there's a space it is not a hostname, but rather
361
an incorrectly formatted $PROGRAM.
362
363
This will be recognized as:
364
365
$PROGRAM = "alma"
366
$MSGHDR = "alma "
367
$MSG = "korte: msg"
368
369
E.g. if it is formatted with the default template, it becomes the same as it
370
was received.

logmsg: always store the legacy message header (MSGHDR)
379
380
This patch essentially makes the 'store-legacy-msghdr' behaviour
381
the default and creates a new 'dont-store-legacy-msghdr' flag to return
382
to the 3.0 compatible behaviour.
383
384
This patch introduces some incompatibility, however I feel that since the
385
'store-legacy-msghdr' flag is the assumed behaviour, it is best to make it
386
default. The only reason it existed in 3.0 is the expected performance
387
drop, but the 3.1 NVTable refactorizations solved that issue.
388
389
It is also needed for the follow-up patch to work properly.

don't cache the local hostname accross SIGHUPs
396
397
Reported by the SUSE maintainer, syslog-ng caches
398
the local hostname accross SIGHUPs, which causes problems when
399
dynamic hostname configuration is in use (e.g. DHCP). This patch
400
relookups the local hostname when a SIGHUP is received.
401
402
Also, there was a bug in the per-source use_fqdn() processing which
403
is fixed by this patch: earlier, if two sources used use_fqdn()
404
differently the one which received the first message won and the
405
hostname was set according to its settings, even if the message
406
was received on the other source.
