Basic question about NXLOG file transfert configuration

#1 sophie 7 years ago

Hi all,

I am new with NXLOG and I have a very basic question to ask you : is it possible to simply copy a file from server A (source file name : c:\osit\log\df_mon.log) to server B (target file name : c:\osit\log15\df_mon.log). I spent already hours on NXLOG config file but I was not able to make it worked because the instruction "File" seeems not to be compatible wit the "om_tcp" output modeule and Host/Port settings.

Thanks a lot in advance, Sophie

It is possible to set up NXLog so that it collects logs from files , transfers it over the network and stores the data in the same structure. The following (untested) configs would do that.


############ Client conf #################

<Extension fileop>

    Module xm_fileop

</Extension>



<Input test_data>

   Module im_file

   File   '/logs/*.log'

   Exec   $Filename = file_basename(file_name());

</Input>



<Output out>

    Module      om_tcp

    Host        10.1.2.3

    Port        1515

    OutputType  Binary

</Output>



<Route client>

    Path   in => out

</Route>


############ Server conf #################



<Input in>

        Module    im_tcp

        Host      0.0.0.0

        Port      1514

        InputType Binary

</Input>



<Output out>

        Module  om_file

        File    '/path/to/logs/' + $Filename

</Output>



<Route server>

    Path   in => out

</Route>
