Main Advantages of rsyslog v7 vs. v5

Adiscon SupportNews, Top News, , , , , , , , , ,

Why rsyslog V7:

  • greatly improved configuration language – the new language is much more intuitive than the legacy format. It will also prevent some typical mistakes simply by not permitting these invalid constructs. Note that legacy format is still fully supported (and you can of course do the same mistakes if you use legacy format).
  • greatly improved execution engine – with nested if/then/else constructs as well as the capability to modify variables during processing.
  • full support for structured logging and project lumberjack / CEE – this includes everything from being able to create, interpret and handle JSON-based structured log messages, including the ability to normalize legacy text log messages.
  • more plugins – like support for MongoDB, HDFS, and ElasticSearch as well as for the kernel’s new structured logging system.
  • higher performance – many optimizations all over the code, like 5 to 10 times faster execution time for script-based filters, enhanced multithreaded TCP input plugin, DNS cache and many more.

Of course, there are many more improvements. This list contains just the most important ones. For full details, check the file ChangeLog.

Rsyslog Windows Agent 1.1b Released

Adiscon SupportNews, Release Announcement, , ,

Adiscon is proud to announce the 1.1b release of RSyslog Windows Agent. This is a minor release.

This release contains a bugfix for the Filterengine.

Build-IDs: Service 1.1.108, Client 1.1.119

Bugfixes

  • Fixed/Readded support for the “-r -o” command line switch. This command switch enables you to run the service in console mode for a single run only. This currently only works with one v1 Eventlog Monitor configured. In this case the service will process all Events, and quits the process afterwards.

Version 1.1 is a free download. Customers with existing 1.x keys can contact our Sales department for upgrade prices. If you have a valid Upgrade Insurance ID, you can request a free new key by sending your Upgrade Insurance ID to sales@adiscon.com. Please note that the download enables the free 30-day trial version if used without a key – so you can right now go ahead and evaluate it.
