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

Netflow Codec
- Workaround for breaking change in Netflow-Input-UDP > 3.2.0, see issue #122

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.
