Adiscon is proud to announce the 2.2 release of RSyslog Windows Agent.

This is the maintenance release and contains mainly bugfixes.

Remote Eventlog Monitoring in Eventlog Monitor V2 has been improved.

Detailed information can be found in the version history below.

Build-IDs: Service 2.2.117, Client 2.2.0.141

Features

  • Updated embedded OpenSSL library to 1.0.1g

Bugfixes

  • EventLog Monitor V2: Fixed a problem reading the “Process unknown/unconfigured Eventlog Channgels” option which was added in the last minor update.
  • EventLog Monitor V2: Fixed a problem when using “Remote EventLog Monitoring”. Now logsources are read from the remote machine properly.
  • Engine: Fixed startup issues reading windows registry. This problem only applied if you configured the service to run with an user account that has insufficient write rights into the windows registry.

Introducing the rsyslog config builder tool

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in News, Top NewsTagged ,

Wouldn’t it be great if we had an interactive tool that permitted it novices to build complex rsyslog configurations interactively? Without any need to understand the inner workings or even terminology? Indeed, that would not only be great, but in our opinion also remove a lot of pressure that we have on rsyslog’s documentation part.

In the light of this, we started to work on a tool called the “rsyslog configuration builder“. An initial preview goes life right now today and we invite everyone to play with it. The initial version is hopefully already useful for many cases. However, the primary intent is to gather community feedback, reactions and further suggestions.

The initial version has a restricted set of supported inputs and outputs, as well as other constructs. It works with rsyslog v7.6 and above. The tool can be used anonymously and configurations are kept during the session, with the session timeout being a couple of hours. So that should be a fair amount of time to build your config. For the future, we plan to permit saving the config when logged in into the site. That way, you can work multiple days on a single configuration.

We have many more enhancements on our mind, but first of all we would like to get your feedback. You can provide feedback any way you like, but we would be extremely happy if you post either to the rsyslog mailing list or create an issue in the rsyslog website’s github project.

This is the first release of the greatly improved version 8 of rsyslog. Large parts of the core engine have been rewritten in order to support even greater performance and newly things like global variable support in RainerScript. The new engine is the foundation for the next couple of years of rsyslog technology. As another major design feature, an interface for external plugins has been added.

rsyslog 7.6.0 (v7-stable) released

By Adiscon SupportPosted on Posted in News, Release AnnouncementTagged , , , , , , , , , ,

This is the first release of rsyslog 7.6 in the v7-stable branch. Since 7.4 a lot of new functions have found their way into rsyslog. With 7.6 being the successor of the 7.5 development branch, everything that has been added there has now found its way into the stable version. The major additions consist of

  • imrelp/omrelp now support TLS & (zip) compression
  • impstats is now emitting resource usage counters, can directly emit delta values and can now be bound to a ruleset
  • mmpstrucdata is a new module to parse RFC5424 structured data into JSON message properties
  • mmutf8fix is a new module to fix invalid UTF-8 sequences
  • mmsequence is a new module that helps with action load balancing
  • new defaults for main/ruleset queues to be more enterprise-like

Also the new stable version has undergone a lot of bug fixes, performance improvements and optimizations that make rsyslog 7.6 a lot more reliable and performing than before. Also, requirements have changed a little. For rsyslog 7.6 you now require librelp 1.1.4 and libestr 0.1.7 due to major fixes.

More detailed information is available in the ChangeLog.
