Tokens `%z` and `%Z` are more precise now;
Introduced new tokens `%Exz` and `%ExZ` that fully support zone abbreviations and/or offset-based zones;
# TODO: because python currently does not support mixing of case-sensitive with case-insensitive matching,
# check how TZ (in uppercase) can be combined with %a/%b etc. (that are currently case-insensitive),
# to avoid invalid date-time recognition in strings like '11-Aug-2013 03:36:11.372 error ...'
# with wrong TZ "error", which is at least not backwards compatible.
# Hence %z currently match literal Z|UTC|GMT only (and offset-based), and %Exz - all zone abbreviations.
This new option allows to force the time zone on log lines
that don't bear a time zone indication (GitHub issue #1773), so it behaves
actually with respect to log line contents as a default time zone.
For the time being, only fixed offset timezones (UTC or UTC[+-]hhmm) are
supported, but the implementation is designed to later on treat the case
of logical timezones with DST, e.g., Europe/Paris etc.
In particular, the timezone name gets passed all the way to the strptime
module, and the resulting offset is computed for the given log line, even
though for now, it doesn't actually depend on it.
Also, the DateTemplate subclass gets to choose whether to use it or not.
For instance, it doesn't make sense to apply a time zone offset to
Unix timestamps.
The drawback is to introduce an API change for DateTemplate. I hope it's
internal enough for that not being a problem.
- Filter instance is already a thread;
- avoid stop pyinotify processing if an interim error occurs (and breaks main-loop, e. g. during multi-threaded processing by add/remove log-files)
If directory moved and the target is not watched path, so the monitoring of it could not be continued.
Now fixed with pending files await a monitoring if there (resp. its directories) appears again (respawn).
Closes gh-1769
- `<fq-hostname>` - fully-qualified name of host (the same as `$(hostname -f)`)
- `<sh-hostname>` - short hostname (the same as `$(uname -n)`)
Execution of `uname -n` replaced in all mail actions with most interesting fully-qualified `<fq-hostname>`.
