vyatta-cfg-journalbeat (6.8.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Replace Journalbeat with rsyslog for journal export.
    Elastic folded Journalbeat into Filebeat and stopped shipping it, and the
    binary DANOS carried was a 2019 build with no source in this tree, so it
    could neither be rebuilt nor patched. rsyslog is already running on the
    system and already reads the journal through imjournal, so the same job
    is now done without an unmaintainable component. Filebeat is not an
    option here: Debian does not package the Beats suite, and pulling it in
    would mean adding a third-party apt source to the image.

    The CLI is unchanged -- "system journal export logstash" keeps the same
    endpoints, hostname, port and index leaves, and still honours the
    routing instance it is configured under.

    The wire protocol does change. Journalbeat spoke the Beats lumberjack
    protocol, so collectors were configured with a "beats" input; rsyslog
    emits RFC5424 syslog over TCP, so the collector needs a "syslog" or
    "tcp" input instead. The configured index is carried in the APP-NAME
    field, which the Logstash syslog input exposes as "program". Deployments
    upgrading from a release with Journalbeat must adjust the collector.

  * Run the exporter as a dedicated rsyslog instance rather than extending
    the system logger, so that a slow or unreachable collector cannot block
    local logging. The instance keeps a disk-assisted queue per endpoint and
    retries indefinitely.

  * Rename the config scripts and unit to match what they now do:
    journalbeat_cfg.{py,sh} become journal_export_cfg.{py,sh}, and
    journalbeat.service becomes vyatta-journal-export.service.

  * Drop the python3-yaml and python3-configobj dependencies, which existed
    only to write Journalbeat's YAML config and env file.
