IPv6 support in Nxlog-CE


#1 micsnare

Dear all,

I was wondering if there was IPv6 support in the latest nxlog-community edition release? According to the Documentation (NXLog Community Edition Reference Manual) it seems IPv6 is supported.

IPv6 Address An ip6addr type stores an IPv6 address in an internal format.

But according to my nxlog.log errors I see the following:

2020-09-08 15:59:00 INFO nxlog-ce-2.10.2150 started 2020-09-08 15:59:00 ERROR apr_sockaddr_info failed for :::515;Address family for hostname not supported 2020-09-08 16:00:49 ERROR invalid keyword: ListenAddr at /etc/nxlog.d/listener.conf:26

Can you confirm that IPv6 should theoretically be supported in 2.10.2150 ? If so, what needs to be enabled in the config if used with im_tcp ?

If it's not supported (because currently only supported in the Enterprise Edition), are there any plans to include this also in the Community edition soon?

thanks and best regards, micsnare

Hello,

Yes, the latest CE supports IPv6. Would you mind sharing your conf file?

Thanks,
