rsyslog 8.29.0 (v8-stable) released

We have released rsyslog 8.29.0.

This release features a number of changes. E.g. imptcp now has an experimental parameter for multiline messages, and new statistics counters.

Most notably though, is the improved error reporting in the rsyslog core and in several modules like imtcp, imptcp, omfwd and the core modules. There is also an article available about the improved/enhanced error reporting:

If you have questions or feedback in relation to the article and/or debug output, please let us know or leave a comment below the article.

Other than that, the new version provides quite a number of bugfixes.

For a complete list of changes, fixes and enhancements, please visit the ChangeLog.

The packages will follow when they are finished.

rsyslog 7.5.3 (v7-devel) released

This release offers important new features like support for global and local variables, improvements in imfile multi-line handling and enhancements in the statistics subsystem. It also include bug fixes, including those imported from 7.4.4.

Note that the new imfile multi-line handling may cause a change of behaviour if you use it together with the input() config statement. For details, please see

Users of the rsyslog development branch are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the new version.
