What to do when an External Script does not work?
When a script runs fine interactively but fails in the rsyslog context (i.e., when executed by a background process or as part of a service) it typically indicates differences between the interactive environment and the service environment. Most importantly, it is not rsyslog itself you need to look at. Check the system config and debug your script so that you can obtain maximum information on why and when it fails.

If you know exactly that rsyslog cannot start the script, check that it has sufficient permissions and that all pathes are correct (use absolute pathes!).
Besides that general advice, here are some common reasons why the problem can happen and suggestions for debugging:

Documentation Improvement and AI
For a long time, I struggled with the daunting task of enhancing the documentation for Rsyslog. My extensive knowledge of Rsyslog technology often made it challenging for me to create user-friendly documentation, especially for individuals with little to no syslog background. Additionally, as a non-native English speaker, I was aware that some of my sentences might be harder to understand than desired. But thanks to the breakthroughs in generative artificial intelligence (AI), the game has changed, and a new era of documentation improvement has begun.

Elevating Syslog Security: RSyslog Introduces DTLS Plugins for UDP
We at the RSyslog project are excited to share our recent advancements in syslog security. We have introduced initial plugins for Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) syslog, namely imdtls (input module) and omdtls (output module). This development, which aligns with RFC 6012, represents a significant enhancement, albeit not a game-changer, in our continuous efforts to improve secure log transmission.

Additional improvements to rsyslog doc and site…
We’re excited to announce significant enhancements to the rsyslog website, designed to make your experience more efficient and enjoyable. Our primary focus has been on the documentation presentation, and we’ve implemented a range of upgrades across the site to reflect this.

Improving the rsyslog documentation…
The current state of rsyslog documentation and its representation on our official website has been a subject of concern within the professional community. We are initiating a comprehensive project aimed at systematically addressing these issues. Over the coming weeks, stakeholders can expect a series of methodical changes, some of which may be significantly transformative.
