Writing RSysLog Plugins in 2 Minutes
Need to connect RSysLog to some destination for which no plugin yet exists? Do you know a little bit of scripting or programming? Than this presentation is for you. It’s fast-path to writing rsyslog plugins very, very quickly.
Writing external output plugins for rsyslog
Want to make rsyslog talk to some not-yet-supported output? With v8 it’s extremly simple. This presentation contains everything you need to know about writing great plugins in ANY language (like perl or python).
rsyslog 8.1.5 (v8-devel) released
We have just released 8.1.5 of the v8-devel branch. This release offers some important bug fixes and an enhanced imfile. It now supports inotify and has no longer a fixed limit on the number of files that can be monitored. Note that inotify must be enabled. By default, the previous polling mode is used. For details see parameter “mode” in the doc: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/

rsyslog 7.4.9 (v7-stable) released
We have just released 7.4.9 of the v7-stable branch.
While we initially did not intend to do another v7.4 release, we got some important fixes which we wanted to be available for 7.4, so we decided to do one more release. Note that also a new feature is included. The “processInternalMessages” global parameter now permits to tell rsyslog to send it’s own error messages to another system logger. This is most beneficial for systemd-based systems, where this permits rsyslog messages to show up in the service status command (but note that this requires configuration).
More detailed information is available in the ChangeLog.

rsyslog 8.1.4 (v8-devel) released
We have just released 8.1.4 of the v8-devel branch.
This release adds the capability to set a variable based on a template. It also adds KEEPALIVE support to the RELP modules (which now require librelp 1.2.2+ for this reason). It also adds some usability enhancements and bug fixes.
Note that this release can be considered a “normal” devel version, with moderate risk associated to it. Experience in the past weeks suggest so. Special thanks to Pavel Levshin for all his work and tests. Still note that there is a considerably higher risk running the devel version than the stable one.
