Fluentd v1.6.3 has been released

Hi users!

We have released v1.6.3. ChangeLog is here. These release includes several enhancements.

in_syslog: Add emit_unmatched_lines parameter

This parameter enables you to get unparseable log as an event. This is same as in_tail's one.

If true, emitted event is like below:

tag: syslog.unmatched  # 'syslog' depends on tag parameter
time: parsed time
record: {"unmatched_line":"broken line"}

buf_file: Add path_suffix parameter

You can change the suffix of buffer file. Here is an example:

# default
/var/log/fluentd/buf/buffer.b58eec11d08ca8143b40e4d303510e0bb.log
/var/log/fluentd/buf/buffer.b58eec11d08ca8143b40e4d303510e0bb.log.meta
# with 'path_suffix .buf'
/var/log/fluentd/buf/buffer.b58eec11d08ca8143b40e4d303510e0bb.buf
/var/log/fluentd/buf/buffer.b58eec11d08ca8143b40e4d303510e0bb.buf.meta

This parameter is useful when .log suffix is not fit for your system,
