Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to ship MS Event logs from nxlog to Logstash directly without writing to disk first.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to ship MS Event logs from nxlog to Logstash directly without writing to disk first.

There is a short guide on how to get data into Elasticsearch/Logstash on the documentation page.

There are some unofficial nxlog.conf examples on the web which use the pm_buffer module to guard against message loss but pm_buffer is not needed. NXLog uses flow-control, so normally messages won't be lost. If that's what you meant by 'writing to disk'.
