Kv Filter

  • Fixed: issue where a field_split_pattern containing a literal backslash failed to match correctly #87

Ruby Filter

  • Added error log backtrace to inline scripts #54
  • [DOC] Added docs to help people avoid concurrency issues (often caused by accidentally relying on shared state with global variables, constants, or unguarded overwriting of instance variables) #58

Http Input

When an instance of this plugin that is configured to require Basic authentication receives a request that does not include authentication, it now appropriately includes an WWW-Authenticate header in its 401 Unauthorized response, allowing the browser to collect credentials before retrying the request.

Sqs Input

  • Fixed: retry networking errors with backoff #57

Syslog Input

  • Added support for listening on IPv6 addresses
  • Refactor: avoid global side-effect + cleanup #62
  • avoid setting BasicSocket.do_not_reverse_lookup as it has side effects for others
