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.

RSyslog Windows Agent 7.4 Released
Adiscon is proud to announce the 7.4 release of Rsyslog Windows Agent.
This latest release delivers enhanced stability and improved error handling, reflecting our commitment to offering our customers the most secure and efficient solutions. Key updates include vital improvements to our Syslog Action functionality. Our engineers have resolved a rare situation where an Action might have attempted to establish multiple TCP connections with the same target simultaneously. Also, in the event of a connection failure, error handling has been improved to retry the primary server correctly if a Syslog backup server is active and Syslog caching has been activated.
We have also made significant advancements in our EventLog Monitor V2 by fixing an XML-Stream processing issue that could impede processing an EventLog message. Changes in our Network Core further amplify system stability during connection closures.
Finally, we’ve enhanced our LogRotate functionality, improving error reporting for situations where the feature is unavailable due to licensing limitations. As always, Adiscon remains committed to providing superior system reliability, robust security, and exemplary customer support. Stay tuned for more updates on our continuing development.
