Fedora 37: FEDORA-2023-ebbe7e9887 Critical Update for Netconsole Daemon

fedora
Calendar Grey November 3, 2023
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest update for netconsd v0.4 on Fedora 37 enhances the ability to log kernel messages transmitted via the network.
Update to 0.4

Summary

This is a daemon for receiving and processing logs from the Linux Kernel, as

emitted over a network by the kernel's netconsole module. It supports both the

old "legacy" text-only format, and the new extended format added in v4.4.

The core of the daemon does nothing but process messages and drop them: in order

to make the daemon useful, the user must supply one or more "output modules".

These modules are shared object files which expose a small ABI that is called by

netconsd with the content and metadata for netconsole messages it receives.
