#rsyslog: how I use #AI the optimize our product documentation rsyslog.com/documentation-… Bottom line: still a lot of work but quality can be improved

Und hier nochmal eine deutsche Version des Artikels zu #KI bei der #rsyslog Doku: rainer-gerhards.de/2024/01/ki-zur… Der Fokus liegt hier allerdings auf der News-Seite.

#rsyslog goes AI First – but always with human expertise in the driver’s seat. AI is now part of dev, docs & future observability features. Learn what this means: rsyslog.com/clarifying-ai-…

If Wikipedia could replace Britannica, AI will transform how we build and use software docs. The vision behind rsyslog's #AIFirst strategy. rainer.gerhards.net/2025/07/ai-fir…

want some more insight in what it takes to actually improve #rsyslog #doc with #AI help? Have a look at rainer.gerhards.net/2025/07/ai-is-… The difference in AI result quality is how you use it - either with effort and tuning or with a quick "do my homework" attitude ;-)

I have just updated the #rsyslog Assistant (#AI) to ChatGPT 5 model. We assume this will further improve it's reliabiability, but I will also carry out tests against known real-world question scenarios.

See our responsible AI-First approach in action. We're using a 3-stage, human-in-the-loop workflow to restructure rsyslog's docs, making them better for everyone. Details here: rsyslog.com/doc/blog/shipp… #rsyslog #opensource #promptengineering

we are tackling an important #rsyslog task this week. once finished, it will give our #container support many more options. and of course on all other platforms as well rainer.gerhards.net/2025/08/refact…

We just added another #rsyslog #AI assistant, this time supporting developers and contributors. It helps craft great commit messages. Part of our responsible #AIFirst effort. rsyslog.com/introducing-th…

Built the #rsyslog Commit #AI Assistant to fix our own commit message pain. Days in, it already saves time & avoids wasteful CI runs. Dogfooding AI in OSS: if it works, we keep it. 👉 rsyslog.com/introducing-th…

We chased a “complex” crash. So did three AIs. We were all wrong. Root cause: one missing state update after teardown. Lesson: AI mirrors our bias—use contracts, counterexamples, and deterministic tests. rainer.gerhards.net/2025/08/when-h… #AI #opensourceai #rsyslog

I rediscovered some old goodie on (design philosphy). Extremely raw and a bit of "armchair philosophy", but IMHO still useful. If you like a hard read: rainer.gerhards.net/2025/08/an-old…

Honest note: my responses to PRs/issues were sluggish, esp. during the pandemic. Sry, and thanks for sticking with us. Now: quick maintainer look <=3 biz days, AI review instant (90%+ useful), no mass-closing old issues. More: rainer.gerhards.net/2025/08/sluggi… #rsyslog #OpenSource #AIFirst

#rsyslog 8.2508.0 out: Prometheus stats, imhttp health, hardened TCP, omhttp on OMODTX, pmrfc3164 headerless detection, omsendertrack uses senderid. More info: rsyslog.com/rsyslog-8-2508…

Looks like #rsyslog is now also being targeted by social engineering PRs. This is actually good news! Why? Read blog posting with all details: rainer.gerhards.net/2025/08/rsyslo… #ITSecurity #FOSS

what's going on at #rsyslog? A quick status update: rainer.gerhards.net/2025/09/status…

I have a project where I need to revist normalization of traditional Windows Event Log syslog messages. It is interesting how many more options we have thanks to new tech. Look at an overview, including why this is relevant for cloud-native pipelines: rainer.gerhards.net/2025/09/revisi…
