works like a boolean, but having 1 and 2 as allowed values, we

consider it integer and validate it as such. [Fabio Coatti]

- Newline removed. [Fabio Coatti]

- Added stanzas specific redis_namespace key to documentation. [Fabio

Coatti]

- Added a space after comma, more compliant with python style guide.

[Fabio Coatti]

- Revert "ignored eric files" [Fabio Coatti]

This reverts commit ea2a6b27437570aeda3ee53b6c6ebd7ebb1f4f2a.

as suggested, leave alone .gitignore :)

- This small commit allows to specify a redis namespace in file section

of configuration file (stanzas). Basically, beaver checks if a

redis_namespace is defined for the current file. If yes, it is used

for the redis payload. If not (or null), beaver uses the

redis_namespace value specified in global section. [Fabio Coatti]

- Added a section (stanza) configuration option in order to be able to

specify a redis namespace. If set, it will override the namespace set

in main section. Default is null. [Fabio Coatti]

- Ignored eric files. [Fabio Coatti]

- Remove `python-daemon` from requirements on win32. [Ryan Davis]

If we're installing on windows, don't require `python-daemon`. This

fixes a problem where trying to `pip install beaver` errors out when

trying to install `python-daemon`.

- Fix redis_transport.py redis exception handling. Fixes #238. [Hugo

Lopes Tavares]

- Attempt to fix memory leaks. Closes #186. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Allow for newer versions of boto to be used. Closes #236. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- When shipping logs, use millisecond-precision timestamps. [Ryan Park]

Logstash 1.3.2 has a problem with microsecond-precision timestamps in the

@timestamp field, which is the default behavior of Python's .isoformat

method. Logstash uses the JodaTime library to parse timestamps, and Joda

doesn’t support nanosecond timestamp resolution. As a result, Logstash

1.3.2 throws an exception on every log item shipped from Beaver.

There's a discussion about this issue in the logstash-users mailing list,

including an example of the Logstash exception:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/logstash-users/wIzdv15Iefs

This patch reduces @timestamp to millisecond precision, which should

correct the problem with Beaver 1.3.2.

[Alexander Papaspyrou]

30 (2013-08-22)

- Use os._exit over sys.exit in signal handlers to quit cleanly.

[Kristian Glass]

As per

http://thushw.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/python-dont-use-sysexit-inside-signal.html

the use of `sys.exit` inside the signal handlers means that a

`SystemExit` exception is raised

(http://docs.python.org/2/library/sys.html#sys.exit) which can be caught

by try/except blocks that might have been executing at time of signal

handling, resulting in beaver failing to quit

- Allow string escapes in delimiter. [Michael Mittelstadt]

As far as I can tell, there is no way for me to represent a newline as

a delimiter in a configuration file with ConfigParser. I want to do this:

[/ephemeral_storage/logs/kind_of_special.log]

tags: special

type: special

delimiter: \n\n

As the log has a blank line between its multiline entries.

My change allows that, by making delimiter not string-escaped until

after the config file is parsed. I'm naive about python, so there is a

strong possibility I've gone about it horribly wrong. This would also

easily allow splitting on nulls, tabs, unicode characters and other

things that ConfigParser may not find kosher.

By doing this sort of multiline parsing with beaver, it allows one to

run logstash without the multiline filter, which due to its lack of

thread-safety, forces you to run logstash with only one worker thread.

- CONFIG_DIR to CONFD_PATH. [iyingchi]

- Added doc for -C option for config directory. [iyingchi]

- Fixed example in Readme.rst for sqs_aws_secret_key. [Jonathan Quail]

Gonzalez]

- Move base_log module higher up in hierarchy. Refs #142. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- Disable daemonization on the windows platform. Closes #141. [Jose

Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Move file unwatching in old-style worker out of for-loop. Refs #139.

[Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

Each worker has a `self._file_map` attribute which is a mapping of file ids to file data. When retrieving lines or checking on the status of the file, we use `iteritems()` which gives us a generator as opposed to a copy such as with `items()`. This generator allows us to iterate over the files without having issues where the file handle may open several times or other random Python issues.

Using a generator also means that the set that we are iterating over should not change mid-iteration, which it does if a file is unwatched. To circumvent this, we should use a separate list to keep track of files we need to unwatch or rewatch, and do it out of band.

We should also take care to catch `RuntimeError` which may arise when closing the Worker out of band - such as in the `cleanup` step of the worker dispatcher - but nowhere else.

This should fix issues where logrotate suddenly causes files to disappear for a time and beaver tries to tail the file at the exact time it is being recreated.

- Typo in SQS docs. [Jonathan Quail]

- Remove ujson requirement. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

This allows users that do not have a compiler in their deployment area to install beaver.

Chandra]

- Adding options to make queues durable and HA. [Pravir Chandra]

- Respect stat_interval file configuration in stable worker. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- Unified configuration file using conf_d module. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

This change adds support for a conf.d directory - configured only via the `--confd-path` flag - which allows beaver to read configuration from multiple files.

Please note that the primary `beaver` stanza MUST be located in the file specified by the `--configfile` argument. Any other such `beaver` stanzas will be ignored.

This change also unifies the `BeaverConfig` and `FileConfig` classes, and simplifies the api for retrieving global vs file-specific data.

Please note that this commit BREAKS custom transport classes, as the interface for creating a transport class has changed. If you are referencing a `file_config.get(field, filename)` anywhere, please omit this and refer to `beaver_config.get_field(field, filename)`.

- Adding exception when redis connection can't be confirmed. [William

Jimenez]

- Fix string & null formatters in beaver.transport. [Stephen Sugden]

the inline definitions were expecting a self parameter, which is *not*

passed when you assign a function to an attribute on an object instance.

- Call file.readlines() with sizehint in a loop to avoid reading in

massive files all at once. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

21 (2013-01-04)

- Move runner into a dispatcher class to solve installation issues.

[Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Added note for Python 2.6+ support. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

20 (2013-01-03)

- Copy the readme over to avoid pypi packaging warnings. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- Implement fully recursive file globing. [Brian L. Troutwine]

Python's base glob.iglob does not operate as if globstar were in effect. To

explain, let's say I have an erlang application with lager logs to

/var/log/erl_app/lags.log

/var/log/erl_app/console/YEAR_MONTH_DAY.log

and webmachine logs to

/var/log/erl_app/webmachine/access/YEAR_MONTH_DAY.log

Prior to this commit, when configured with the path `/var/log/**/*.log` all

webmachine logs would be ignored by beaver. This is no longer the case, to an

arbitrary depth.

19 (2013-01-01)

- Fix issue with supporting command line args. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

18 (2012-12-31)

- Add timing debug information to the worker loop. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

17 (2012-12-28)

- Added missing python-daemon requirement. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

16 (2012-12-27)

- Specify a max queue size of 100 to limit overrunning memory. [Jose

Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Use multiprocessing for handling larger queue sizes. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

Previously there were issues where files that were updated frequently - such as varnish or server logs - would overwhelm the naive implementation of file.readlines() within Beaver. This would cause Beaver to slowly read larger and larger portions of a file before processing any of the lines, eventually causing Beaver to take forever to process log lines.

This patch adds the ability to use an internal work queue for log lines. Whenever file.readlines() is called, the lines are placed in the queue, which is shared with a child process. The child process creates its own transport, allowing us to potentially create a Process Pool in the future to handle a larger queue size.

Note that the limitation of file.readlines() reading in too many lines is still in existence, and may continue to cause issues for certain log files.

- Add default redis_password to BeaverConfig class. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Fix missing underscore causing transport to break. [Norman Joyner]

- Implement redis auth support. [Norman Joyner]

- Add beaver init script for daemonization mode. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Use python logger when using StdoutTransport. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Add short arg flags for hostname and format. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Add the ability to daemonize. Closes #79. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Pass around a logger instance to all transports. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Revert "Added a lightweight Event class" [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

After deliberation, beaver is meant to be "light-weight". Lets leave

the heavy-hitting to the big-boys.

This reverts commit 1619d33ef4803c3fe910cf4ff197d0dd0039d2eb.

- Added a lightweight Event class. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

This class's sole responsibility will be the processing of a given line as an event.

It's future goal will be to act as a lightweight implementation of the filter system within Logstash

- Remove argparse requirement for python 2.7 and above. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

15 (2012-12-25)

- Pull argument parsing out of beaver __init__.py. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Move app-running into __init__.py. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Standardize on _parse() as method for parsing config. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- Automatically parse the path config option. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Remove extensions argument on Worker class. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

This argument was only used when no globs were specified in a config file.

Since it is not configurable, there is no sense leaving around the extra logic.

- Remove extra callback invocation on readlines. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Remove extra file_config module. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- General code reorganization. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

Move both BeaverConfig and FileConfig into a single class

Consolidated run_worker code with code in beaver binary file. This will create a clearer path for Exception handling, as it is now the responsibility of the calling class, allowing us to remove duplicative exception handling code.

Added docstrings to many fuctions and methods

Moved extra configuration and setup code to beaver.utils module. In many cases, code was added hastily before.

Made many logger calls debug as opposed to info. The info level should be generally reserved for instances where files are watched, unwatched, or some change in the file state has occurred.

- Remove duplicative and old beaver instructions from binary. [Jose

Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Remove unnecessary passing of ssh_tunnel subprocess. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- Added docstrings to ssh_tunnel module. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Follow convention of underscore for object properties. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- Follow convention of underscore for object properties. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- Added a NullFormatter. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

Useful for cases where we do not want any extra overhead on message formatting

- Refactored message formatting in base Transport class. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

We now use a `_formatter` property on the Transport class which

will properly process the message for output as the user expects.

In the case of string output, we define a custom formatter using an

anonymous function and specify that as the formatter.

- Moved create_transport to transport module. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Moved create_ssh_tunnel to ssh_tunnel module. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Fixed order of beaver_config and file_config in args. [Jose Diaz-

Gonzalez]

- Reduce overhead of parsing configuration for globs and files. [Jose

Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Removed ordereddict dependency. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Do not output info level when outputing version. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Allow usage of ujson >= 1.19. Closes #76. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

14 (2012-12-18)

- Removed erroneous redundant code. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Workaround for differing iteration implementation in Python 2.6. [Jose

Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Properly detect non-linux platforms. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Improve Python 2.6 support. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Fix broken python readme. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

13 (2012-12-17)

- Fixed certain environment variables. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- SSH Tunnel Support. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

This code should allow us to create an ssh tunnel between two distinct servers for the purposes of sending and receiving data.

This is useful in certain cases where you would otherwise need to whitelist in your Firewall or iptables setup, such as when running in two different regions on AWS.

- Allow for initial connection lag. Helpful when waiting for an SSH

proxy to connect. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Fix issue where certain config defaults were of an improper value.

[Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Allow specifying host via flag. Closes #70. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

12 (2012-12-17)

- Reload tailed files on non-linux platforms. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

Python has an issue on OS X were the underlying C implementation of

`file.read()` caches the EOF, therefore causing `readlines()` to only

work once. This happens to also fail miserably when you are seeking to

the end before calling readlines.

This fix solves the issue by constantly re-reading the files changed.

Note that this also causes debug mode to be very noisy on OS X. We all

have to make sacrifices...

- Deprecate all environment variables. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

This shifts configuration management into the BeaverConfig class.

Note that we currently throw a warning if you are using environment

variables.

Refs #72

Closes #60

- Warn when using deprecated ENV variables for configuration. Refs #72.

[Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

- Minor changes for PEP8 conformance. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

11 (2012-12-16)

- Add optional support for socket.getfqdn. [Jeremy Kitchen]

For my setup I need to have the fqdn used at all times since my

hostnames are the same but the environment (among other things) is

found in the rest of the FQDN.

Since just changing socket.gethostname to socket.getfqdn has lots of

potential for breakage, and socket.gethostname doesn't always return an

FQDN, it's now an option to explicitly always use the fqdn.

Fixes #68

- Check for log file truncation fixes #55. [Jeremy Kitchen]

This adds a simple check for log file truncation and resets the watch

when detected.

There do exist 2 race conditions here:

1. Any log data written prior to truncation which beaver has not yet

read and processed is lost. Nothing we can do about that.

2. Should the file be truncated, rewritten, and end up being larger than

the original file during the sleep interval, beaver won't detect

this. After some experimentation, this behavior also exists in GNU

tail, so I'm going to call this a "don't do that then" bug :)

Additionally, the files beaver will most likely be called upon to

watch which may be truncated are generally going to be large enough

and slow-filling enough that this won't crop up in the wild.

- Add a version number to beaver. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]
