News

fluent-package v5.0.0 is a RC (Release Candidate) version of fluent-package v5 series. We are planning to publish GA (General Availability) version of v5 series at the end of Aug 2023.

• td-agent is renamed to fluent-package. (#448,#449,#463,#518)
  • This represents current community-oriented development styles well.
• Debian 12 (bookworm) has been supported. (#462,#509)
• Removed Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial), Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) support. (#457,#509)
• Amazon Linux 2023 has been supported. (#459)
• Introduced new package signing key. The new key will be used in the future
  release. we still use using old signing key for a while. (#507)

Not only changing package name, but also there are some notable changes.
Basically, for td-agent v4 users, it aims to keep compatibility as far as possible
by executing the migration process with copying old files or providing
symbolic links for it.

If you created custom service units, you must manually modify the old file to the new path.
For example, you must update such as: D_PRELOAD, GEM_HOME, GEM_PATH, path of fluentd and so on.

For all platform:

• The content of fluent-package changed to install under /opt/fluent. (e.g. c:/opt/fluent for windows) (#464)
• During upgrade install process from v4, it respects the old content
  and path of log files as far as possible. (#489,#500,#505)
• /usr/sbin/td-agent and /usr/sbin/td-agent-gem was changed to
  /usr/sbin/fluentd and /usr/sbin/fluent-gem. For backward
  compatibility, the symbolic link is provided for upgrade users. (#531)
• Changed the path of example default configuration file to /opt/fluent/share/fluentd.conf. (#525,#528)

For Debian/Ubuntu user:

• Debian 12 (bookworm) has been supported. (#462,#509)

• Removed Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial), Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) support. (#457,#509)

• deb: the service file is changed to fluentd.service.
  It provides td-agent as an alias. Note that if you
  want to keep using td-agent as a service name, you must
  explicitly execute the following commands: (#461,#516)

  $ sudo systemctl stop td-agent
  $ (upgrade to fluent-package...)
  $ sudo systemctl unmask td-agent
  $ sudo systemctl enable --now fluentd
  

• deb: user/group name was changed to _fluentd. This change is
  introduced to follow Debian policy. For backward compatibility, if
  you upgraded from v4, td-agent user/group remains as same
  UID/GID of _fluentd. This change makes easy to
  keep using /etc/logrotate.d/td-agent as is. (#475,#519)

  • Note that process or file owner of fluent-package is displayed
    as td-agent instead of fluentd.

• deb: the path of service configuration file is changed to
  /etc/default/fluentd. (#461)

• deb: fluentd-apt-source was renamed to fluent-apt-source.

  • You can remove transitional fluentd-apt-source after upgrading
    to fluent-apt-source. (#507,#514,#515)

• deb: for LTS users, added fluent-lts-apt-source package (#541)

For RHEL user:

• rpm: the service file is changed to fluentd.service.
  It provides td-agent as an alias. Note that if you
  want to keep using td-agent as a service name, you must
  explicitly execute the following commands: (#461,#516)

  $ sudo systemctl enable fluentd
  

• rpm: user/group name was changed to fluentd. For backward
  compatibility, if you upgraded from v4, td-agent user/group
  remains as same UID/GID of fluentd. This change makes easy to
  keep using /etc/logrotate.d/td-agent as is. (#475,#519)

  • Note that process or file owner of fluent-package is displayed
    as td-agent instead of fluentd.

• rpm: the path of service configuration file is changed to
  /etc/sysconfig/fluentd. (#461)

• rpm: prelink configuration was removed. (#472,#529)

  • In recent days, it is common to disable prelink configuration. If
    you upgrade from v4, that configuration file
    (/etc/sysconfig/prelink.conf.d/td-agent-ruby.conf) itself will be
    removed or the entry about td-agent will be removed from
    /etc/sysconfig/prelink.conf.

• rpm: added support for Amazon Linux 2023. (#459)

• rpm: fixed build failure on CentOS 7 aarch64 (#545)

For Windows user:

• msi: renamed to "Fluent Package" (#463,#466,#471)

• msi: the default install path of fluent-package was changed to c:/opt/fluent.
  Note that old log files are kept as is. The following files are migrated to the
  new path: (#466,#469,#487)

  • c:/opt/td-agent/etc/td-agent/td-agent.conf
  • c:/opt/td-agent/etc/plugins/*

• msi: the prefix of batch files were renamed to fluent*.
  Thus td-agent-prompt.bat was renamed to fluent-package-prompt.bat. (#484)

• msi: disable auto starting service after install. (#521)

  • If you want to start fluentd as a service, execute the following command with administrator privileges.

  > net start fluentdwinsvc
  

• msi: stop customizing icons for file browser (#469)

• msi: update resources for fluent-package (#470)

• msi: changed the default path of buffer/failed_records (#527)

For macOS user:

WARNING: Currently we have no plan to release dmg version of fluent-package yet.
It is just modified to be a minimally buildable state, it is for testing purpose only.

• dmg: renamed to fluent-package (#474,#478,#479,#480,#481,#482,#483)
  • Note that the .dmg package support will be dropped in the future
    release. We plans to migrate for homebrew ecosystem.
• dms: update resources for fluent-package (#473)
