Today marks a special milestone for us: WinSyslog turns 30. That is something we are proud of. But for us, a 30th anniversary should be more than a date or a logo. It should be a useful moment for customers and users. That is why we are also releasing WinSyslog 18.2 today. The most important […]
Rsyslog now includes a new output module that enables direct integration with Azure Monitor using the Logs Ingestion API. This allows Syslog data to be sent directly to Azure Monitor or Microsoft Sentinel without requiring the Azure Monitor Agent (AMA)—which traditionally acts as an intermediary for collecting and forwarding logs. Key Benefits Summary The new […]
Good documentation is key to making the most of a powerful logging solution. We have recently updated the WinSyslog manual to make it clearer, more structured, and easier to use. The revised documentation focuses on improving readability and helping users find relevant information faster—whether they are setting up WinSyslog for the first time or managing […]
Adiscon has extended rsyslog with a native OpenTelemetry (OTLP) output module, enabling direct log export into OpenTelemetry-based observability pipelines. The new module, omotlp, is the Phase 1 implementation and focuses on OTLP/HTTP with JSON payloads. It allows rsyslog to forward logs directly to an OTLP collector without requiring sidecars or protocol translation components, which can […]
The new scheduled-stable release of rsyslog, version 8.2512.0 (2025.12), is now available. As the company behind rsyslog, Adiscon contributed a substantial portion of the engineering work in this cycle — including major module enhancements, complex PR integrations, and broad improvements in documentation, CI, and AI-assisted tooling. Several items listed in the rsyslog changelog without explicit […]
Abstract Adiscon runs two first-class lines of work: open source and closed source. We apply clear policies per project, keep boundaries explicit, and share engineering concepts and practices where that makes sense. This post explains the pattern: how we develop in both worlds, how ideas flow in both directions, and why we consider that co-evolution […]
We are pleased to announce the release of liblognorm 2.0.8, the fast log normalization library. This is a pure maintenance release aimed at addressing specific border cases to improve overall stability. While liblognorm is the engine behind rsyslog’s log normalization capabilities (specifically mmnormalize), it is as a stand-alone library which is also used by other […]
Adiscon has been developing robust, high-performance logging and data processing software for decades. As the long-term stewards of rsyslog, we focus on reliability, transparency, and engineering quality. Our work powers systems in enterprises, government organizations, and operational environments around the world.
We have today released the 8.25100 rsyslog scheduled stable release. This release delivers three main themes: better Windows Security event ingestion, more flexible JSON handling end to end, and pragmatic compatibility fixes across popular outputs and platforms. It also includes steady documentation improvements and CI hardening.
