Logs sent with a very long delay
w4rh0und created
Hi
I am pretty new to nxlog, so I lack some knowledge.
We have been using NXLog to send logs using sysmon to our IBM Qradar.
On a few machines, we've seen some logs that arrived today, but are from 1-2 weeks ago.
How exactly does NXLog keeps logs that have not been sent. Are there any steps we can use to investigate why these logs were sent with such a long delay?
In most cases it all works without a problem, but on very rare occasions we receive a few really old events.
Thank you

Using @startup or @reboot in a schedule
Tony Curoso created
Hello. I am using nxlog community edition 3.2.2329_ubuntu20_amd64.deb on ubuntu 20.04.6. I am trying to rotate and purge logs on a daily basis. This is a dev environment that shuts down from 6pm to 7am daily. I tried using a Schedule block with a directive of When to @startup but that throws an error when starting nxlog. Also tried @reboot and got the same error.

Is src/utils/csed used?

Is the binary src/utils/csed built or otherwise incorporated into the build?It doesn't look like it when I built it from source because the binary wasn't built by default, but I wanted to confirm.There is a buffer overflow in csed.c, and I need to make sure it doesn't find its way into the build.Thanks.

Help converting Windows Event to JSON
Ryan1234 created
Hi,I’m leveraging the to_json() function to convert Windows Events to JSON before sending them. This generally works well, and most of the log is converted to JSON correctly. However, there’s a portion of the log where NXLog doesn’t format the data into proper JSON, instead inserting control characters like \r\n. This breaks the JSON formatting and results in an undesirable output.Here’s an example of a Windows Event that’s been converted to JSON. As you can see, the Message field includes control characters and retains the original structure of the event rather than being properly formatted as JSON:{"Channel":"Security","Message": "System audit policy was changed.\r\n\r\nSubject:\r\n\tSecurity ID:\t\tS-1-5-18\r\n\tAccount Name:\t\tclient01$\r\n\tAccount Domain:\t\tmydomain\r\n\tLogon ID:\t\t0x3E7\r\n\r\nAudit Policy Change:\r\n\tCategory:\t\tAccount Logon\r\n\tSubcategory:\t\tKerberos Service Ticket Operations\r\n\tSubcategory GUID:\t{foo}\r\n\tChanges:\t\tSuccess removed, Failure removed","Category":"Audit Policy Change"}Here’s an example of the output I’d like to achieve:{"Channel":"Security","Message":"System audit policy was changed.", "Subject":{"Security ID": "S-1-5-18","Account Name":"client01$","Account Domain":"mydomain","Logon ID":"0x3E7"},"Audit Policy Change":{"Category":"Account Logon","Subcategory":"Kerberos Service Ticket Operations","Subcategory GUID":"{foo}","Changes":"Success removed, Failure removed"},"Category":"Audit Policy Change"}Does anyone know if and how I can achieve this?NXLog CE is running on Windows Server 2022. Package version is 3.2.2329.

libssl vulnerability
cschelin created
We're showing that NXLog CE has a DLL, libssl-1_1-x64.dll, that is using OpenSSL version 1.1.1q, which is vulnerable to CVE-2022-2097. Is there any plan to move to a newer version, or are there decent instructions for compiling the source code for Windows?

Hi there, I have the following log server setup which recevice log from various servers and route to another server as well as written to a local file.<router>path from_other_servers => output_another_server, local_zip_encrypted_file<\route>it seems for smaller log size, I have to restarts the nxlog before the file can be written locally. (the file is empty when I tried to decrypt and uncompress the file)(1) is it possible to force flush into local file in regular basis?(2) though I don't see the log written to local file, can I check if the log is forwarded to another server in this case?Thanks in advanceBest regards,Loh

No logs are collected from Fortinet units, but tcpdump on NXlog collector shows ingoing traffic coming from them

I have a setup using NXlog instances as collectors in a large number of security zones.
<Input in0>
Module im_tcp
Host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
</Input>
but for some reason this does not capture logs coming in on port 514 from Fortinet units; all other logs (from Windows and Linux servers) are received and processed just fine.
tcpdump -nvvA host [Fortinet unit IP]
shows log traffic coming in on the NIC from the given IP address.
What am I missing?
