Radware Logging Agent (RLA) v1.3.1
Released on 07/11/2024, Radware Logging Agent (RLA) version 1.3.1 introduces improved Docker deployment options, streamlined configuration management via S3 and environment variables, and optimized logging practices for containerized environments.
What's Changed
-
Enhanced Docker Deployment: Improved Docker deployment by eliminating internal logging to
agent.logwhen running inside Docker containers, in favor of logging directly to the console. This aligns with best practices for containerized environments and simplifies capturing logs from the container. Additionally, introduced the option to importrla.yamlfrom an S3 bucket via the Docker entry point script, making configuration more centralized and manageable. -
Environment Variable-Driven Configuration: Added support for a fully environment variable-driven configuration through
rla.yaml.template. This allows for highly flexible deployments, where all necessary configuration can be provided as environment variables, avoiding the need to store sensitive information in static files. -
Docker Deployment with a Provided Dockerfile (v1.3.0): This release introduced Docker deployment with a provided Dockerfile, simplifying the process of deploying RLA in containerized environments and enabling more consistent deployments.
-
Additional Fixes and Improvements (v1.2.1):
- Fixed an issue related to certificate validation with known CA-signed certificates.
- Resolved a conversion error affecting unified access log fields.
- Improved graceful shutdown handling to ensure that remaining tasks are completed before the agent stops.
