This change requires Erlang/OTP-21.0 or higher.
The commit also deprecates the following options:
- log_rotate_date
- log_rate_limit
Furthermore, these options have no effect. The logger now fully
relies on log_rotate_size, that cannot be 0 anymore.
The loglevel option now accepts levels in literal formats.
Those are: none, emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug.
Old integer values (0-5) are still supported and automatically converted
into literal format.
* oom_watermark: 1..100
Start OOM watchdog only when system memory usage exceeds
this value in percents. When the usage drops below the value,
OOM watchdog is stopped. The default is 80 (percents).
Note that once OOM watchdog is started, it performs full garbage
collection periodically: this can be seen as spikes in CPU
utilization and drops in RAM usage. If your system is permanently
above the watermark, it may cause significant CPU overhead.
* oom_queue: positive integer
Only trigger OOM killer when total amount of messages in all queues
of all Erlang processes is above this value. The default is 10000.
Note that this value only takes effect when `oom_killer` is set
to `true` (this is the default). Otherwise, only a warning will
be logged.
Previous version was inefficient: it had a lot of false positives
along with a lot of false negatives, making its usage pointless.
The new verion is based on memsup(3erl) application: the OOM watchdog is
only started when total OS memory consumption is more than 80%.
A watchdog periodically inspects all running processes and collects
statistics about overloaded ones (those queueing a lot of messages).
If the OOM killer is enabled (`oom_killer: true`), all overloaded
processes would be killed. By default, OOM killer is enabled.
When memory consumption is back to normal, the OOM watchdog is stopped.
The commit introduces the following changes:
* Now there is no need to pass validating function in
ejabberd_config:get_option() functions, because the configuration
keeps already validated values.
* New function ejabberd_config:get_option/1 is introduced
* Function ejabberd_config:get_option/3 is deprecated. If the function
is still called, the second argument (validating function) is simply
ignored.
* The second argument for ejabberd_config:get_option/2 is now
a default value, not a validating function.
Now 'From' and 'To' arguments must be omitted in functions
and structures related to routing.
The commit deprecates the following functions:
ejabberd_router:route/3 in favor of ejabberd_router:route/1
ejabberd_router:route_error/4 in favor of ejabberd_router:route_error/2
ejabberd_local:route_iq/4 in favor of ejabberd_local:route_iq/2
ejabberd_local:route_iq/5 in favor of ejabberd_local:route_iq/3
The format of {route, From, To, Packet} is changed in favor of {route, Packet}
