Version 8.29.0 [v8-stable] 2017-08-08

  • omfwd/udp: improve error reporting, deprecate maxerrormessages parameter
    Generally improved udp-related error messages (e.g. they now contain the
    socket number, which makes it easier to related them to errors reported by
    net.c subsystem).
    We also deprecated (removed) the "maxerrormessages" configuration parameters.
    It provided some very rough rate-limiting capabilities and was introduced
    before we had native rate-limiters. The default was that only the first 5
    error messages were actually reported. For long-running instances, that
    meant that in many cases no errors were ever reported. We now use the default
    internal message rate limiter, which works far better and ensures that also
    long-running instances will be able to emit error messages after prolonged
    runtime. In contrast, this also means that users will see more error
    messages from rsyslog, but that should actually improve the end user
    experience.
