string(host_ip) is returning a stale IP.

On a Windows machine, I'm currently trying to create a custom field named client_ip and grab the IP address of the sending client. This works, but when I switch IPs, nxlog keeps sending the old stale IP, not the new IP.

Exec $client_ip = string(host_ip());

But, if I restart the nxlog service on the Windows machine, it starts returning the new correct IP. I don't want to have to restart the service.

NXlog CE RPM on CentOS - not instaling

Hi there,
I've attempted to get NXlog CE installed onto a clean CentOS 7 host, following the documentation, ran 'rpm -ivh nxlog-ce-2.10.2150-1_rhel7.x86_64.rpm' ... whilst the RPM command completes, it appears to do absolutely nothing .. I search the host for any files with 'nxlog' in the filename.. nothing!

Have I got a dud RPM file ? (Downloaded direct via the website)

Any suggestions, or known other versions of NXlog CE that I can use?

How to replace the Host IP in the output section by a variable or a regex?

Hello,
I'm both new here and new at nxlog so excuse my question if it sounds awkward.
I'm trying to configure nxlog for an environment with multiple intermediary loghosts which have different IP addresses.
The only pattern is that the machine that is sending the log and the loghost always have a similar first three octets (same subnet).
So the computer 192.168.0.10 will send logs to 192.168.0.100
