Rsyslog Windows Agent 8.3 Released
We have just released Rsyslog Windows Agent 8.3, bringing enhanced interoperability, modern configuration options, and deep operational visibility to our professional Windows-to-Linux logging bridge.
A major highlight of this release is the introduction of YAML configuration support. By adding file-based YAML support for service configuration files, rsyslog Windows Agent now allows administrators to utilize human-readable, industry-standard formatting for their configuration logic. This facilitates easier integration with DevOps toolchains and simplifies the management of complex forwarding rules across diverse Windows environments.
Operational transparency has also been significantly improved with the addition of Runtime Metrics. Administrators can now enable a dedicated HTTPS query endpoint to access real-time service metrics. This feature allows for the direct monitoring of event throughput and service health, making it simple to pull performance data into centralized monitoring systems.
Furthermore, rsyslog Windows Agent 8.3 is ready for the next generation of infrastructure with enhanced Windows Server 2025 support, including improved message fallback and custom-channel cleanup within the Event Monitor service.
