rsyslog Windows Agent 26.11: Monthly Patch + Feature Drop
rsyslog Windows Agent 26.11 is the latest monthly Patch + Feature Drop. It adds manual hostname mappings and corrects Syslog Listener handling, TLS forwarding, remote configuration, and service diagnostics.
Map hostnames and IP addresses
General settings can define hostname and IP address mappings. The mappings are available in the Configuration Client and in the User Interface.
Safer forwarding and configuration
The Syslog Listener rejects malformed message headers. TLS and DTLS forwarding verify destination certificates and identities, and stalled TLS forwarding no longer blocks shutdown indefinitely. Remote configuration rejects invalid HTTPS certificates and insecure redirects. Registry configuration detects the default license file more reliably when the license path is empty and no separate data directory is configured. When a listening socket cannot be opened, diagnostics include possible owners. The Configuration Client and the User Interface do not save a partial configuration after loading fails, and they preserve existing settings when a selective import fails. The Syslog action can set the TLS send progress timeout. The User Interface dashboard displays content in the selected language.
The User Interface remains in preview. It is available for production use with appropriate care and review; the Configuration Client remains fully supported.
We recommend keeping rsyslog Windows Agent on the latest Patch + Feature Drop to benefit from current maintenance and product improvements. Your licence remains valid for releases in its calendar year; Upgrade Insurance provides entitlement to later calendar years and their monthly Patch + Feature Drops.
