One Oh One

Bugfix release...

Fixes an issue that could cause old journal files to be "leaked" (not deleted).

Thanks to @portante for identifying the issue, and @ledbettj for quickly releasing a new version of ttps://github.com/ledbettj/systemd-journal

Oh Oh Eleven

Backports the fix included in 1.0.1

The Big One Oh Oh

Finally after 2 and a half years and 135 commits 1.0.0 is here.

This release removes a lot of code to support configuration options that were deprecated, so the code is cleaner and more maintainable for the future.

We also relicensed the plugin with the Apache 2.0 licence to facilitate transferring the plugin to a new home in the near future.

Also the documentation was updated.

You should also take this release as a signal that this plugin is mature now... so we don't plan to make any drastic or breaking changes ... (without releasing a new major version anyway)

Thanks to @Jitsusama for help with documentation, and thanks to all the contributors for helping with the relicense!

Oww Three One

• Improves documentation regarding required file permissions #42

Ohh Three Oooohaooo

New Feature:

Journal Entry Mutation (#36)

Thanks to the hard work of @emacski the plugin now has support for arbitrary mappings from systemd field names to your own. @emacski's work also supports stripping the leading underscore from all fields and lowercasing all fields. This functionality can also be used as a filter plugin so allows a great deal of flexibility.

Enhancement

Backoff On Buffer Backpressure (#38)

Previously if a fluentd output buffer was full this plugin would continue to read records from the journal, but drop them without them being written to the output buffer. Thanks to @richm for his report of this issue #37. This enhancement addresses this shortcoming, by pausing reading from the journal temporarily to allow the output buffer to clear. This is still not fail safe, as records will still be dropped after a number of retries. So I am happy to take further feedback about the most desireable behaviour in this case...
