Posted Sat, 15 Sep 2007
Hop on over to the grok project page and
download the new version.
The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:
Changes for 20070915:
* Added 'grok_patfind.pl' which adds 'grok -F' functionality. Read about it
here:
http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/grok-pattern-autodiscovery.html
* Proper shutdown is called to kill the "hack" subprocess
* Add 'shell' option to 'type' sections; not currently used.
* Warn if we're trying to override an existing filter.
* Added more perlthoughts to t/theory/
* Numerous pattern regex changes:
- NUMBER no longer uses Regexp::Common's real number regex since that one
matches '.' and my thoughts are that '.' is not a number
- Added POSITIVENUM pattern
- Fix HOSTNAME to match hostnames starting with a number (Again,
Regexp::Common fails me)
- Add path patterns: UNIXPATH, WINPATH, URI
- MONTH no longer matches 0 through 12
- DAY no longer matches 0 through 6
- SYSLOGPROG is more specific now, since valid prog names can have dashes.
