Zusammenfassung:The European XFEL (EuXFEL) is a free-electron laser in the X-ray range for users. Its high availability is one of the key aspects of the machine. In 2022, it entered in the sixth year of operation. The EuXFEL linac is based on the TESLA superconducting RF technology, operating at 1.3 GHz with an RF pulse length of 650 $\mu$s and a repetition rate of 10 Hz. The LLRF system is based on the MicroTCA standard and relies on a high level of automation. In this contribution, we review the LLRF operation at the EuXFEL and the development of new tools and features to improve the monitoring and extend the usability of the LLRF system.
