0.9.0 (2014-MM-DD)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Major overhaul of Heka's configuration loading code. This doesn't impact
most plugins, it's only a breaking change for plugins that happen to
instantiate and manage the lifecycles of other embedded plugins, e.g.
MultiDecoder, ProcessDirectoryInput, SandboxManagerFilter.
* All inputs now support `decoder`, `synchronous_decode`, and
`send_decode_failures` config options, automatically extracted by Heka's
config system.
* InputRunner now handles message decoding and delivery to the router,
according to the specifications of the input's configuration. This is
accomplished either directly via the `Deliver` method or, in cases where
decoding might need to happen in separate goroutines, through `Deliverer`
objects available from the `NewDeliverer` method.
* Hekad and all clients started using stdio for informational messages and
stderr for error messages.
* Stats Accum Input treats gauge inputs as float64 rather than int64 to match
statsd spec and other statsd implementations (#850).
Bug Handling
------------
* Reset header when discarding valid but oversized messages (#1221).
* Prevent the protobuf stream encoder from creating messages over
MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE (#1204).
* AMQPOutput now uses defined constants for delivery mode instead of hard
coded (and wrong) integer values (#1235).
* Hekad now respects --config parameter and loads default config path
instead of printing help and exit (#1239).
Features
--------
* Allow the sandbox process_message function to set the last error string
when it returns (#1191).
* Improve the sandbox inject_* error messages (#1156).
* Added ability to specify unit type and aggregation methods for stats graph
filter.
* Added option (immediate_start) to start process immediately in ProcessInput
(#1131).
* Added `hostname` setting to global `[hekad]` config options to allow
overriding the hostname value provided by Go's `os.Hostname` call (#1123).
* Added 'connect_timeout' option in ElasticSearch output plugin.
* Slightly improve error output in ElasticSearch plugin.
* Added support for HTTP authentication to ElasticSearchOutput.
* TcpOutput's disk buffering now supports specification of a max buffer size
and an action to take if the max size is reached, from 'shutdown', 'drop',
or 'block' (#1110).
* Added `unescape_body` option to HttpListenInput to allow users to turn off
unescaping of the HTTP request body (#1124).
* Added `send_interval` setting to SmtpOutput.
* Added `timestamp` format setting to ESLogstashV0Encoder (#1142).
* LogstreamerInput now uses first two "magic" bytes to identify gzip files
instead of relying on `.gz` suffix.
* Added TLS support to ElasticSearchOutput (#1259).
* Added ability for HttpListenInput to capture specified HTTP request headers
and write them as message fields.
0.8.3 (2015-01-08)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed LogstreamerInput to use a separate DecoderRunner for every
LogstreamInput created, rather than sending all of the streams through a
single decoder.
0.8.2 (2015-01-06)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fix rsyslog sandbox decoder test to use current year and location for
timestamp parsing, since syslog timestamp format makes that assumption.
* Ensure that geoip_decoder is not included in release binaries.
0.8.1 (2014-12-17)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fix leaky file descriptor bug on http_output.go.
* Only stamp PipelinePack diagnostics in cases when a pack actually matches a
message matcher, instead of for every matcher every time (#1167).
* StatsdInput allows to specify (via max_msg_size option) size of message read
from UDP (#1165).
* AMQPOutput now recycles packs even when a publish error causes the output to
exit / restart (#1178).
* Fixed HttpOutput TLS section parsing (#1163).
* Fixed LogstreamInput extraneous journal saves that caused high disk IO
when EOF is reached.
0.8.0 (2014-10-29)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Audited the use of Logger and Type headers on internal message (#1024). These
changes may break some existing message matchers with regards to
plugin/sandbox termination messages.
* Sandbox decoder linux_cpustats has been renamed to linux_loadavg and the
corresponding filter cpustats was renamed to loadavg (#1094).
* ESLogstashv0 encoder will now set the @type field to match the ES record
type specified in the `type_name` setting. This is Logstash behaviour in
V0. You can revert back to the old method with `use_message_type = true`
Bug Handling
------------
* linux_diskstats.lua will now parse a line with no leading space (#1141).
* Protect globals.Stopping with a RWMutex.
* Added support for `fields` config setting to ESLogstashV0Encoder; it was
already documented, but hadn't been implemented (#1096).
* Fixed deadlock race condition in AMQPOutput shutdown sequence (#824).
Features
--------
* Added Kafka Input/Output plugins (#1148).
* Optimized prefix/suffix testing in the message matcher (#1040).
* LogstreamerInput now supports seekjournal file hashing for files that are
less than 500 bytes in length; hash is generated against file contents with
0 bytes prepended to make 500 bytes of hash content (#972).
* Support environment variables in config files (#1023).
* Add Dockerfiles and example Docker usage to repo
* Encoders can now return (nil, nil) to express that they've swallowed the
input message without generating any output.
* SandboxEncoder now supports return value of -2 from the process_message call
to specify that no output is being generated.
* Added schema_influx.lua encoder.
* Added CBUF Librato Encoder.
* Added option to disable re-using TCP connections to the ElasticSearch output
* Added separate env loading file and support for NUM_JOBS env var to Windows
build (#971).
* Added DockerLogInput (issue #1092).
* Added support for "Epoch", "EpochMilli", "EpochMicro", and "EpochNano"
timestamp formats to the time parsing code used by the Payload*Decoder
plugins (#963).
* Added ability to drop big message entirely or to keep first part of it (#1134)
0.7.3 (2014-10-28)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fail gracefully on LogstreamerInput missing `file_match` setting (#1105).
* Fixed issue where ProcessInput wasn't propagating environment variables and
working directory to repeatedly run (vs. one time, long running) processes
(#1108).
* UdpInput now removes a Unix datagram socket file at shutdown time if one is
created at startup.
* Fixed issue with keeping previous EOF state in LogStreamer (#1119).
* ProcessInput now honors documented restart behavior (#1117).
0.7.2 (2014-10-01)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fail more gracefully if user doesn't specify a scheme in the server URL for
the ElasticSearchOutput (#1069).
* Correctly compute http timeout interval for ElasticSearchOutput when using
HTTP indexing.
* Fixed issue w/ inaccurate payload sizes in heka-flood.
* Allow severity to be modified by the MessageTemplate logic for use in
ScribbleDecoder (#1084).
* Render pack diagnostic idle time in seconds (as specified) instead of
nanoseconds.
* Prevent orphaned matchers from remaining in the router's matcher lists in
cases where a filter or output registered in one TOML file overrides a
filter or output of the same name in an earlier TOML file.
0.7.1 (2014-09-02)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed handling of TcpInput and TcpOutput keep_alive_period default value
handling, and added docs (#1054).
* Fixed OSX lua_sandbox build error.
* Fixed load ordering of nested MultiDecoders (#1045).
0.7.0 (2014-08-27)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Switched to using fork of gomock, import location changed from
`code.google.com/p/gomock` to `github.com/rafrombrc/gomock`.
* Move *GlobalConfigStruct out of pipeline package's global namespace, it is
now stored as an attribute on PipelineConfig. Any code that used to call
pipeline.Globals() now must instead access *PipelineConfig.Globals. The
`WantsPipelineConfig` interface has been introduced to give plugins access
to the active *PipelineConfig if it's needed in the ConfigStruct or Init
methods (#951).
* Removed deprecated `pipeline.GetHekaConfigDir` API call, which has been
replaced by `PrependBaseDir` and `PrependShareDir` for a few versions
now.
* Removed the regular expression template support from the message matcher
(issue #960).
* Updated the AMQP input / output configuration values to use underscore
delimited words for long config options (issue #953).
* LogstreamerInput now errors on nonexistent `log_directory` instead of
creating the folder (issue #1066).
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed the MySQL slow query grammar to handle logs with no newline.
* Fixed packet tracking idle packs error output formatting.
* Prevent panics during shutdown when a restarting plugin has been restarted
(issue #957).
* Added support for a Logstreamer symbolically linked log_directory root
(issue #741).
* Fixed lots of race conditions in the tests.
* Eliminated race condition in use of global AMQPHub in AMQP input / output
plugins (#953).
Features
--------
* Added StatMetric Influx Encoder.
* Added RstEncoder.
* Added support for '__ignore_root' tag in add_external_plugin to allow
external packages to be added which do not have any .go files
in their root directory (issue #955).
* Switched from using goprotobuf to gogoprotobuf with marshal_all and
unmarshal_all extensions for significant performance increase.
* Added stats graph sandbox filter to make it easier to generate graphs of
statsd / graphite metrics (issue #966).
* Added support for the majority of repository URI formats when cloning external
Go packages (issue #937).
* Added the ability to test for field existence in message matcher (issue #958).
* Added support to ESJSonEncoder and ESLogstashV0Encoder to properly encode
field arrays.
* Added a filter to monitor all process message failures (issue #948).
* Added UdpOutput.
* Added IrcOutput.
* Added support for filter and output plugins to optionally exit without
causing Heka to shutdown via config option.
* Added support for custom HTTP Headers in HttpListenInput and DashboardOutput.
0.6.1 (2014-08-27)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* CarbonOutput using UDP transport now uses multiple packets to send stats
data to Carbon server when output would be longer than the 64KiB max size
for UDP packets (issue #1035).
* StatsdInput now trims all whitespace around incoming stat names instead of
just trailing newlines (issue #1011).
* Fixed silent failures in ElasticSearchOutput bulk indexing operations.
* Fixed permanent loss of HTTP connection in certain cases when ElasticSearch
has been restarted (issue #1008).
* Fixed default sandbox script type when loading dynamic plugins.
0.6.0 (2014-07-09)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* Go 1.3 now required for building.
* Changed handling of message stream framing. Before stream framing was
presumed to always be required when encoding with protocol buffers, and not
required when using other encodings. Now all outputs support an optional
`use_framing` setting that will determine whether or not framing will be
applied when using the OutputRunner's Encode method (issue #922).
* All files in a config directory that do not end in ".toml" will now be
ignored and not loaded as a part of the Heka configuration (issue #750).
* Removed the PayloadJsonDecoder which is replaced by the Lua sandbox cjson
module (issue 826).
* Removed LogfileInput and LogfileDirectoryManagerInput which were replaced
by LogstreamerInput in 0.5.0 (issue 914).
* MultiDecoder no longer sets prepends name of the decoder instance to the
message type value for every message. This was impacting performance, is
almost never what is needed, and is almost always overwritten by the nested
subdecoders anyway.
* MultiDecoder now has a `subs` option that refers to other top level decoder
config definitions, instead of nested sub-configs and a separate `order`
option specifying the order. This makes for less typing and the ability to
reuse decoder definitions as both standalone decoders and across multiple
MultiDecoders (issue #485).
* ElasticSearchOutput now uses an Encoder plugin instead of MessageFormatters.
Created ESJsonEncoder, ESLogstashV0Encoder, and ESPayloadEncoder
(implemented as a SandboxEncoder in es_payload.lua) to replicate prior
formatter behavior.
* Changed the Lua sandbox API. inject_message is no longer overloaded, output
has been renamed to add_to_payload, and inject_payload has been introduced.
* Changed TcpOutput, FileOutput, and LogOutput to use Encoder plugins for
output formatting instead of bespoke formatting implementations.
* The rsyslog decoder now further parses the %SYSLOGTAG% variable. The
fields.syslogtag no longer exists and is replaced by fields.programname and
message.Pid (issue #677).
* Removed no-longer-used 'decoder_poolsize' global config setting.
Bug Handling
------------
* Fixed the ElasticSearchOutput to always use UTC times in the bulk API header
(issue #504).
* Fixed the SandboxDecoder panic when failing the Decode() after successfully
injecting a message (issue #910).
* StatsdInput no longer spins up a new goroutine for each stat (issue #359).
* MultiDecoder no longer prevents shutdown if a nested SandboxDecoder crashes
during startup (issue #896).
* MultiDecoder using `cascade_strategy = "all"` now passes all generated packs
to all nested decoders instead of skipping the remainder if an earlier pack
in the sequence fails to decode (issue #896).
* MultiDecoder no longer tries to recycle the original pack, leaving that job
to the DecoderRunner as intended (issue #896).
* Updated SmtpOutput to use a slice instead of a map to generate SMTP headers
so the order will remain consistent when using Go 1.3 or later.
* Use FindProcess instead of syscall.Kill to make the 'pid_file' configuration
setting work on Windows (issue #807)
* Fix the SandboxFilter ReportMsg panic on termination/shutdown (issue #816)
* MultiDecoder with no 'order' set now fails on init instead of panicking on
first message.
* Fix panic on SIGUSR1 caused by no reports in a given plugin category (issue
#832).
* Fix file_match config of plugin logstreamer_input (issue #893).
* StatFilter now correctly handles values from integer or float fields (issue
#612).
Features
--------
* Added general purpose HttpOutput (issue #820).
* Added message processing stat reporting to the MultiDecoder for each
subdecoder and in aggregate (issue #719).
* Added memory statistics to the Heka report output, for self monitoring.
* Added a message type configuration option to the rsyslog decoder (issue #907).
* Added `elasticsearch` Lua module to generate BulkAPI index JSON (issue #875).
* Added support for Lua sandbox preservation versioning (issue #701).
* Added support for unix datagram sockets to the UdpInput using net "unixgram"
(issue #790).
* Add LogstreamInput seekjournal reporting to dashboard output (issue #445).
* Added a HyperLogLog library to the Lua sandbox using the Redis
implementation http://antirez.com/news/75.
* Added an alert encoder to make the alert messages easier to read.
* Introduced Encoder plugin type (issue #417).
* Added a bloom filter to the Lua sandbox and created a unique items filter.
* Turned the MySQL slow query log examples into a deployed decoder and filter.
* Added an Nginx error log decoder (issue #785)
* Added the ability to preserve the webserver log line in message payload
(issue #784)
* Added the optional 'pid_file' configuration setting (issue #777).
* Add anomaly, alert, annotation modules (issue #677)
* Added 'sample_denominator' global config setting to allow tweaking the
sample interval when computing timing of certain operations, replacing prior
hard-coded DURATION_SAMPLE_DENOMINATOR constant (issue #625).
* Added an Apache access log decoder based on the Apache 'LogFormat'
configuration directive.
* Added BufferedOutput. Extracts the queuing functionality out of TcpOutput.go
into a general purpose lib for use in any output module. Callers get
messages buffered to disk while another goroutine consumes and forwards
data. Any errors encountered can cause the sending goroutine to backoff and
resend data.
* Added http_timeout to elasticsearch output to prevent slow or stale
connections from holding up the flow. (issue #769)
* Add query parameters to the Message as Fields in the HttpListenInput
* Add QueueTTL option to AMQPInput to allow specifying message expiration.
* Added optional tls sub-section to AMQPInput and AMQPOutput for configuring
AMQPS TLS settings.
* Add detection and handling of gzipped files to LogstreamerInput (issue #648).
* Added optional TCP Keep-Alive parameters to TcpInput/TcpOutput plugins.
0.5.2 (2014-05-16)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* FileOutput no longer panics when using `format = "text"` and payload is nil
(issue #843).
* Fix SandboxDecoder pass-through case so decoders that only use write_message
and not inject_message will emit messages correctly (issue #844).
* Fixed TcpInput so it will only override the default delimiter for a
RegexpParser if a delimiter is specified in the config.
* Fix the FileOutput panic when HUP'ed. Modified the CheckWritePermission
utility function to use a unique filename for each check. (issue #808)
* Terminated plugins are now removed from the SandboxManager quota (issue
#774).
* Fixed SIGUSR1 triggered text report to stdout to work with updated
heka.all-report JSON data structure (issue #762).
* MultiDecoder now uses message.GetType() instead of Message.Type so
emitted message type will be generated correctly (issue #761).
* LogstreamerInput no longer causes Heka to fail to start on empty or
whitespace-only journal files (issue #755).
* The cbufd_host_aggregator filter now properly reclaims expired hosts.
* Pull in a new lua_sandbox to fix JSON encoding of empty strings in the
sandbox plugin output() call.
* Escape regexp meta characters (notably '\') to prevent a panic in the LogstreamerInput on Windows
0.5.1 (2014-03-18)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Skip *.bak, *.tmp, *~, and .files in a config dir as a non-breaking band-aid
until we require an explicit naming convention in 0.6 (see issue #750).
* heka-logstreamer command now supports config directories in addition to
single config files, just like hekad itself (issue #742).
* Logstreamer package's NewLogstreamSet function no longer lowercases the
match part names when constructing match translation maps since the
PopulateMatchParts method doesn't actually expect the names to be
lowercased.
* Added support for use of "missing" value in Logstreamer translation maps to
allow users to place missing values at the end of the list instead of the
beginning (issue #735).
0.5.0 (2014-03-06)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* ProcessInput no longer supports a separate'name' config setting, it uses the
specified plugin name from the TOML section header like all of the other
plugins.
* Removed Stdout_chan and Stderr_chan from ManagedCmd and CommandChain, client
code now has direct access to Stdout_r and Stderr_r io.Reader providers.
* The PluginHelper interface DecoderRunner prototype has changed (issue #717)
to allow for the base name e.g. "ProtobufDecoder" and a full instance name
e.g. "MyInput-ProtobufDecoder" of the decoder to be specified. This allows
multiple decoders of the same type to show up on the DashboardOutput and
sandbox decoder state preservation to work properly. Also the DecoderRunner
UUID interface method was removed.
* FileOutput `flushinterval` config setting changed to `flush_interval` to
match config naming conventions.
* SandboxDecoder, SandboxFilter, and SandboxManagerFilter now all use
`${SHARE_DIR}/lua_modules` as the default `module_directory` setting.
SandboxDecoder and SandboxFilter both now interpret relative paths to lua
source code to be relative to ${SHARE_DIR} instead of ${BASE_DIR}.
* DashboardOutput `static_directory` setting now defaults to
`${SHARE_DIR}/dasher` instead of `${BASE_DIR}/dashboard_static`.
* The sandbox preservation data is now stored in the
{base_dir}/sandbox_preservation directory instead of with the plugin source.
On the initial restart no preserved data will be restored unless it is
manually moved to this directory first. (issue #626)
* The Heka utilities (flood, sbmgr, sbmgrload, inject) have been namespaced
with a `heka-` prefix for their respective binaries. I.e. Flood has been
renamed heka-flood., etc.
* MultiDecoder now gets its name from the TOML section name like the rest of
the plugins, instead of a separate 'name' config option.
* Major reorganization of the `pipeline` package, moving the implementation of
most plugins to sub-packages of a separate `plugins` package.
* Removed the wrapper 'table' element from the JSON serialization (issue #525)
i.e., {"table":{"value":1}} is now simply {"value":1}. The change also
removes the special '_name' metadata arribute; the top level _name element
should be created in the Lua structure if it is required.
* In the process of removing the core sandbox code from Heka (issue #464), the
sandbox was streamlined to only load the base library by default. All sandbox
plugins must now explictly load additional libraries with the require
function.
* Removed DecoderSet method from PluginHelper interface (and DecoderSet
abstraction entirely) and replaced it with Decoder and DecoderRunner methods
that return a Decoder or a DecoderRunner by name.
* Changed Decoder interface to support one input pack generating multiple
output packs.
Bug Handling
------------
* Network parsers now return all records available in the parse buffer
(issue #732).
* TcpInput now stops a given connection's decoder when the connection is
closed, preventing memory pooling (issue #713).
* StatsdInput now doesn't fail with multiple stats in a single UDP packet.
* Set default StatAccumInput stat namespace prefix values even when
`legacy_namespaces` is set to false (issue #630).
* Fixed cpuprof file from being closed right after opening so no data was
being logged.
* Fixed LogfileInput so it will only override the default delimiter for a
RegexpParser if a delimiter is specified in the config.
* PluginWrapper will now check for the WantsName interface when creating a
plugin, and will set the plugin's name if appropriate.
* SandboxDecoder now explicitly logs a fatal error before triggering shutdown
to ensure error message is actually emitted.
* Message severity now defaults to the highest RFC 5424 value (i.e. 7) implies
low severity, rather than zero, which implies `emergency`, (issue #518).
* 'flood' command now outputs every send error (even 'connection refused'), and
always increments 'messages sent' count even when there is a sending error
(so setting 'num_messages' still works even if hekad stops responding,
etc.).
* stat_accum_input will not fail when flushing a timer where the percentile
is equal to the min value.
Features
--------
* Added ProcessDirectoryInput.
* InputRunners now support being specified as 'transient', meaning their
lifespan should be managed by the code that creates the InputRunner and not
Heka's pipeline code.
* HttpInput: now supports configuring the HTTP method, HTTP headers and HTTP
Basic Authentication
* TLS Listeners can specify a 'client_cafile' which limits the CAs that a
client cert can be chained to. This provides a mechanism for TLS Client AUTH.
* TLS Senders can specify a 'root_cafile' which limits the CAs that a
server cert can be chained to. This provides a mechanims for TLS Server AUTH.
* Added StopDecoderRunner function to PluginHelper API so inputs can manually
decommission decoders when they're no longer being used.
* The SandboxManagerFilter can now control the sandbox usage limits (issue #95)
* Added support for send_nsca to NagiosOutput as an alternative to direct http
submission; also a way to explicitely specify service_description and host
to match Nagios config
* Added configurable network types to TcpInput "tcp", "tcp4", "tcp6", "unix" and
"unixpacket" (issue #539)
* Added configurable network types to UdpInput "udp", "udp4", "udp6"
(issue #539)
* Added flush_count config setting to FileOutput to complement existing
flush_interval. Also added flush_operator setting which can be "AND" or "OR"
to specify how flush_count and flush_interval should be combined.
* Introduced `share_dir` global config setting, which specifies where Heka's
read only resources should live. Defaults to `/usr/share/heka`. Also added
`pipeline.PrependShareDir()` function for use within plugin initialization
code.
* Added an rsyslog decoder based on the rsyslog string configuration template
(issue #432).
* Added an Nginx access log decoder based on the Nginx 'log_format'
configuration directive.
* heka-cat: A command-line utility for counting, viewing, filtering, and
extracting Heka protobuf logs.
* TcpOutput has been redesigned to handle unavailable endpoints and dropped
connections without data loss (issue #355).
* CarbonOutput now supports submitting messages via UDP, persistent TCP
connection.
* Added Logstreamer Input [LogstreamerInput]: An input that replaces the
Logfile and Logfile Directory Inputs and supports sequential reading of
logstreams that span sets of ordered logfiles (issue #372).
* TcpInput, TcpOutput, and flood client now all support TLS encrypted TCP
connections using Go's crypto/tls package.
* Added Http Listen Input [HttpListenInput]: An input that listens for
HTTP requests on the specified address. If a decoder is not specified the
input generates a message with the HTML request body as the payload.
This input is especially useful for consuming and processing webhooks.
(Issue #431)
* Added support for local external packages (issue #393)
* Inject: A command-line utility for injecting arbitrary messages into
a Heka pipeline.
* Added Go ScribbleDecoder for efficient setting of purely static message
field values.
* Exposed `write_message` API function to Lua decoders to allow mutation of
existing decoded message (issue #577).
* HttpInput: Added urls (array) option.
* HttpInput: Failed and successful HTTP GET actions produce messages of Type
"heka.httpinput.data", Logger = Request URL, and severity appropriate to
HTTP status 200 or not. I.e. Connections responding with a status of 200
produce a message with Severity 6, non-200 statuses Severity 1. Failure to
connect produces a message with Severity 1 and Type "heka.httpinput.error".
* HttpInput: Fields[ResponseTime] populates with time duration in seconds for
HTTP GET of URL, Fields[Status] with HTTP Status, Fields[Protocol] with HTTP
protocol and version, Fields[StatusCode] with HTTP Response Status Code for
successful HTTP GETs. The Circular Buffer Graph Annotation (Alerts)
(http://hekad.readthedocs.org/en/latest/sandbox/graph_annotation.html) plugin
is compatible with the HttpInput plugin.
* HttpInput: Added success_severity and error_severity options for GET actions.
* HttpInput: Messages now set Logger, UUID, and Timestamp.
* Added log_errors option to PayloadregexDecoder to allow skipping invalid
payloads.
* Added "id" flag to elasticsearch output (issue #386).
* Added SmtpOutput (issue #472)
* Added preserve_data option to SandboxDecoder (issue #668).
* Added delete_idle_stats to StatAccumInput.
* Added sum and count_ps metrics to timers in stat_accum_input.
0.4.2 (2013-12-02)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Changed CPack configuration such that the 'make package' target no longer
creates deb packages, and added a new 'make deb' target that creates debs
with the filename expected by the deb package naming conventions (see
https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/issues/545).
* Doc clarifications re: required use of ProtobufDecoder (see
https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/issues/550).
* Explicitly exclude system level folders from those that CPack will include
as part of the Heka RPM (requires CMake >= 2.8.12) (see
https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/issues/548).
0.4.1 (2013-11-05)
==================
Bug Handling
------------
* Updated Mozilla Sphinx theme submodule reference and configuration paths to
work around bug in ReadTheDocs rendering (see
https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/issues/529).
* Changed default DashboardOutput.StaticDirectory value to
`/usr/share/heka/dasher`, to match where the packages put the files.
Features
--------
* add require_all_fields flag to PayloadJsonDecoder
(issue #528)
0.4.0 (2013-10-30)
==================
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* DashboardOutput now requires a `static_directory` setting to specify where
the Heka dashboard source code can be found.
* AMQPInput now only supports a single decoder to be specified (issue #414).
* UdpInput configuration now requires a parser_type and decoder to be specified
(issue #411).
* TcpInput configuration now requires a parser_type and decoder to be specified
(issue #165).
* Removed the LogfileInput decoders array configuration in favor of a single
decoder (issue #308).
* SandboxManagerFilter now auto-generates a default working directory based on
the plugin name, in the ${BASE_DIR}/sbxmgrs folder.
* LogfileInput seek journals now support a boolean `use_seek_journal` config
flag, and only the name of the journal file is now settable via
`seek_journal_name`, replacing the `seekjournal` option which specified the
full path.
* Build is now entirely cmake based and lives directly in the heka repository,
replacing the separate primarily gnu make driven separate heka-build repo.
* Core Heka plugins now default to writing data to /var/cache instead of
/var/run since /var/run is usually deleted on server restart.
* StatAccumInput now defaults to emitting stats data in the payload instead of
in the message fields.
* Renamed LoglineDecoder to PayloadRegexDecoder.
Bug Handling
------------
* Added check for nil RemoteAddr value since UDP connections won't have one
(issue #462).
* Statsd messages are now parsed manually (issue #44).
* Added mDRunner so MultiDecoder will work with sub-decoders that implement
the WantsDecoderRunner interface.
* Removed all code that attempted to catch and recover from panics in called
plugin code, since a) the recovery often left Heka in an undefined, broken
state b) the safety was a lie, any panic in a separate goroutine would not
be caught and c) panic traceback actually makes it easier to debug.
* WhisperOutput and CarbonOutput no longer require stats to use the `stats`
namespace prefix.
* LogfileInput now truncates and overwrites the seek journals instead of
appending.
* `protoc` now an optional dependency for the build, only required if the
protobuf definition is actually changed.
* MessageTemplate field name interpolation was only supporting alphabetic
characters for field names, now supports all "word" characters (i.e.
alphanumeric plus underscore).
* ElasticSearchOutput now always sends timestamps in expected UTC time zone
format.
* Fixed a CarbonOutput memory / socket leak.
* Fixed panic caused by an invalid config file path.
Features
--------
* Added a sandbox message field iterator (issue #460)
* Added ProcessInput. (issue #406)
* Replaced DashboardOutput UI with new Backbone.js-based `dasher` interface.
(issue #378)
* Add delta output to circular buffers. (issue #467)
* Added json decoding to the Lua sandbox (issue #463). If you have an old build
directory you will have to run make clean to pick up the new patch.
* Added a 'config' variable section to the Sandbox decoder/filter plugin.
(issue #444)
* Added StatsToFieldsDecoder that will convert a message with statsd formatted
string in the payload to one that also has the data available as message
fields, in the same format that would be generated by a StatAccumInput with
`emit_in_fields` set to true.
* MultiDecoder now supports `cascade_strategy` config options of `first-wins`
and `all`, defaults to `first-wins`.
* Added stream parsing to UdpInput. (issue #411)
* Added stream parsing to TcpInput. (issue #165)
* Added SandboxDecoder. (issue #370)
* Support Heka protobuf message data in the LogfileInput plugin. (issue #261)
* Added "payload" format option to ElasticSearchOutput to pass message payload
through to ES unchanged.
* Allow LogfileInput to use configurable delimiters including regexp (issue #263)
This includes a backwards incompatible change for the journal file, old
journals will not be honored and the new journal will overwrite it.
* Allow add_external_plugin to specify sub-packages. (issue #384)
* Added `base_dir` global (i.e. `[hekad]` section) config option to specify a
single location Heka plugins should use to persist data to the file system.
* The `hekad` commands `config` flag now supports use of a config directory in
addition to a single config file. If a directory path is specified, every
file in the directory will be parsed and they will all be merged to a single
running configuration.
* Added LogfileDirectoryManagerInput (issue #344).
* LPEG library added to Lua sandbox (issue #144).
* ElasticSearchOutput now supports `logstash_v0` output format that is modeled
after the original Logstash ElasticSearch message schema.
* Added PayloadJsonDecoder that can extract information from JSON text in a
message payload during decoding.
* Make index type_name option for ElasticSearchOutput definable from Field value (issue #356)
0.3.0 (2013-07-16)
==================
* Fixed default (and only supported, for now) sample rate in the stats
generated by the StatFilter.
* Fixes to the platform specific build constraints around signal handling.
* Added HttpInput that can make HTTP requests to a remote server, placing
the response body into a message payload.
* Filters and outputs now require a specified message_matcher or they will
raise an error applying the configuration.
* ticker_interval now exposed as a global config option for inputs, as well
as outputs and filters.
* Overhaul of StatAccumInput implementation to fix bugs and allow for better
handling of output format options.
* LoglineDecoder will now default to the current day, month, and year when
parsing text that contains bare timestamps w/ no date information.
* Added permission checks to FileOutput and WhisperOutput plugins to fail
gracefully when they've been asked to write to a location where they do not
have write permission.
* Fixed folder creation permission bugs and allow configurable folder
permission settings in FileOutput and WhisperOutput.
* `hekad` now emits help message if started w/ no command line options.
* Consistently use underscore_separated_words for plugin TOML configuration
options.
* Use strings instead of integers to specify octal permission values in the
config, since TOML doesn't support octal integer values.
* LoglineDecoder config now allows specification of a time zone in case the
parsed text contains non-UTC timestamps that don't include embedded time
zone information.
* Removed match capture group support from the router's message matching
