Logstash 6.2.4 Release Notes
editLogstash 6.2.4 Release Notes
edit- Fixed an issue where events passing through the persistent queue had the contents of string type fields corrupted for values containing non-ASCII characters. The solution involved serializing the RubyString as Java String UTF-16 encoded #9167
- Fixed serialization bug when a RubyString that comes out of a matching, substring or similar operation may not have offset 0 pointing at the underlying BytesList. Solved by serializing the correct part of the BytesList #9308
-
Improved performance of Event#cancel, where each operation would unnecessarily generate a new object. In configurations that use plugins like the
drop filter
throughput may increase up to 5x #9284 - Fixed an issue with type handling in metadata fields. Before this a plugin could trigger a Java exception when placing data into an event’s metadata #9299
- Fixed a race condition in shutdown of pipelines where not all workers would consume a single SHUTDOWN signal #9285
- Multiple documentation improvements relating to configuration files, JVM options, default plugin codecs, Logstash-to-Logstash communication and Keystore.
Plugins
editJson_lines Codec
- Support flush method, see https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-codec-json_lines/pull/35
Netflow Codec
- Workaround for breaking change in Netflow-Input-UDP > 3.2.0, see issue #122
- Renamed some unknown VMware VDS fields
Aggregate Filter
- new feature: add timeout_timestamp_field option. When set, this option computes timeout based on event timestamp field (and not system time). It’s particularly useful when processing old logs.
-
new feature: add inactivity_timeout option.
Events for a given
task_id
will be aggregated for as long as they keep arriving within the definedinactivity_timeout
option - the inactivity timeout is reset each time a new event happens. On the contrary,timeout
is never reset and happens aftertimeout
seconds since aggregation map creation.
Dns Filter
- Logging improvement to include DNS resolution failure reason #36
- Fix bug where forward lookups would not cache timeout errors
Jdbc_streaming Filter
- Load the driver with the system class loader. Fixes issue loading some JDBC drivers in Logstash 6.2+ #263
Kv Filter
- Correctly handle empty values between value separator and field separator #58
Ruby Filter
- Fix return of multiple events when using file based scripts #41
Translate Filter
- Add refresh_behaviour to either merge or replace during a refresh #57
Beats Input
- Ensure that the keep-alive is sent for ALL pending batches when the pipeline is blocked, not only the batches attempting to write to the queue. #310
Exec Input
- Add metadata data to the event wrt execution duration and exit status
- Add schedule option to schedule the command to run, using a cron expression
Http Input
Jdbc Input
- Clarify use of use_column_value. Make last_run_metadata_path reference in record_last_run entry clickable. #273
- Load the driver with the system class loader. Fixes issue loading some JDBC drivers in Logstash 6.2+ #263
- Fix regression with 4.3.5 that can result in NULL :sql_last_value depending on timestamp format #274
Redis Input
S3 Input
Sqs Input
Tcp Input
Udp Input
Aws Mixin
Elasticsearch Output
File Output
-
Add feature
write_behavior
to the documentation #58
S3 Output
Sqs Output
- Add documentation for endpoint, role_arn and role_session_name #29
