Hi,I am using NXLog with the Example 108. “File Rotation Based on Size” from the NXLog Community Edition Reference Manual.In rare cases i have the problem that rotate_to uses the wrong filename and overwrite some other logfile. In the example below “logid.log” to “Mod-002”.  See nxlog.logVersion:  nxlog-ce-3.1.2319nxlog.logZeile 3644025: 2023-03-14 10:28:02 INFO om_file successfully rotated file 'C:\Program Files\nxlog\data\10.87.243.24\logid.log' to 'C:\Program Files\nxlog\data\10.87.243.24\Mod-002.20230314102802.log'nxlog.conf## This is a sample configuration file.

Hello,I am trying to send my custom application Windows logs to GrayLog.  I am using GELF TCP.    Our event text is getting cut off.   It looks like our custom events write all of the data to the section GrayLog calls “short message”    I did see the article that said there is a 64 character limit and we did change that with  Exec   $short_message = $raw_message;  in the output section.  This did increase the number of characters shown but there are still plenty more characters getting cut off.  We have NXlog writing to a local file right now so were able to verify that it is NXlog that is cutting off the data.  Is there a way to fix this?   Here is my conf file:Panic Soft#NoFreeOnExit TRUEdefine ROOT     C:\Program Files\nxlogdefine CERTDIR  %ROOT%\certdefine CONFDIR  %ROOT%\conf\nxlog.ddefine LOGDIR   %ROOT%\datainclude %CONFDIR%\\*.confdefine LOGFILE  %LOGDIR%\nxlog.logLogFile %LOGFILE%Moduledir %ROOT%\modulesCacheDir  %ROOT%\dataPidfile   %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pidSpoolDir  %ROOT%\data<Extension _syslog>   Module      xm_syslog</Extension><Extension _charconv>   Module      xm_charconv   AutodetectCharsets iso8859-2, utf-8, utf-16, utf-32</Extension><Extension _exec>   Module      xm_exec</Extension><Extension _gelf>   Module      xm_gelf   ShortMessageLength 1024   UseNullDelimiter false</Extension><Extension _fileop>   Module      xm_fileop   # Check the size of our log file hourly, rotate if larger than 5MB   <Schedule>       Every   1 hour       Exec    if (file_exists('%LOGFILE%') and \                  (file_size('%LOGFILE%') >= 5M)) \                   file_cycle('%LOGFILE%', 8);   </Schedule>   # Rotate our log file every week on Sunday at midnight   <Schedule>       When    @weekly       Exec    if file_exists('%LOGFILE%') file_cycle('%LOGFILE%', 8);   </Schedule></Extension><Input in>   Module      im_msvistalog</Input><Output file>      Module om_file      File 'c:/temp/nxlog.txt'</Output><Output out>   Module      om_tcp   Host       xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   Port        5555   OutPutType  GELF_TCP   Exec        $short_message = $raw_message;</Output><Route 1>  Path        in => file</Route>This is what the event data shows:  [The description for EventID 0 from source xxxxxxx cannot be found:  The parameter is incorrect,   ]   There are several more lines after this that are just not coming over.   I am very inexperienced with this software.  Thank you for your help.

Hi,I had this situation whereby when I unplugged the cable of the outgoing interface of the nxlog server, the logs went into the cache folder. When I connected back to the interface, the new logs continues to flow to the external logger,  but the cached logs remain inside the cache folder and do not forward out to the external logger.below is my configuration.  Looking forward to any help, please. thank youUser rootGroup rootPanic Soft##modify change# default values:# PidFile   /opt/nxlog/var/run/nxlog/nxlog.pid# CacheDir  /opt/nxlog/var/spool/nxlog# ModuleDir /opt/nxlog/lib/nxlog/modules# SpoolDir /opt/nxlog/var/spool/nxlogCacheDir /data/nxlogcachedefine CERTDIR /opt/nxlog/var/lib/nxlog/certdefine CONFDIR /opt/nxlog/var/lib/nxlog# Note that these two lines define constants only; the log file location# is ultimately set by the `LogFile` directive (see below).

I am having issues where when I try to parse a big file ~1500 lines the regexp doesn't find any lines that match and then eventually “gives up”. There is no ERROR log in the nxlog.log saying that it essentially stopped but it never writes anything to my output file. In the input file I have 6 lines that match my parser though.<Exec> if $raw_event =~ /srv_name="([^"]+).+?user_auth_entr="([^"]+)/ { $event_type = 'VPN_SESSION_IP_ASSIGNED'; $version = 'v1'; $time = 'test'; $account = $2; $account_domain = 'null'; $assigned_ip = 'null'; $source_ip = 'null'; $authentication_result = 'FAILURE'; $authentication_target = $1; } </Exec>I was confused at first and thought there was an issue with my statement but it checks out.  When I specifically grabbed only those 6 log lines that would match and ran the service against ONLY those logs, everything parsed and worked just fine giving my the 6 new log lines in my output file.So this leads me to believe that the only reason it didn't work the first time is because the first time it actually matches those log lines is the 112th line. So my assumption is that it tries to process the incoming log lines against my regex and after so many not matching it just stops. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate and if so, how can I increase the threshold and/or remove this dependency?

Hello everyone,We should log on Windows server some IIS and SQL Server logs via agent in Community Edition. Through documentation I have examples that produce as results logs in csv and/or json format.Could you give me a hand in transforming the logs from json and/or csv format to key-value (kvp)Thank you very much for the support.

I am trying to parse some logs coming in and trying to figure out the proper way to build the nxlog.conf when specifying what to do depending on the conditions met in the parser. I have a working conf file that can read all the logs from a file and parse them into one set of conditions but how do I add multiple IF statements in a single Exec block?<Input NetMotion> Module im_file File "C:\Testing-logs\NetMotion.txt" <Exec> if $raw_event =~ /m_user="([^"]+).+?pop_ip_srv="([^"]+).+?ses_start="([^"]+).+?ses_state="([^"]+).+?vip="([^"]+)/ { if $4 = 'Connected' $event_type = 'VPN_SESSION_IP_ASSIGNED'; { $version = 'v1'; $time = $3; $account = $1; $assigned_ip = $6; $source_ip = $2; $authentication_result = 'SUCCESS'; $authentication_target = $5; } if $3 == 'Disconnected' $event_type = 'VPN_SESSION_IP_TERMINATION'; { $version = 'v1'; $time = $2; $account = $1; } } </Exec> </Input>The above code works in the fact that it doesn't give me any errors in the NXLog log file however the actual log lines are mixed up. If the events match 'VPN_SESSION_IP_ASSIGNED'  then it all works just fine. This gives me the order of event_type, version, time, account, assigned_ip, source_ip, authentication_result, authentication_target which is exactly what I need. However for the lines where it doesn't match, it messes up the order and puts version first, and then tacks on the event_type = 'VPN_SESSION_IP_TERMINATION' at the end.How do I get it so that when the $event_type = 'VPN_SESSION_IP_TERMINATION' the log format only shows the fields I want e.g. event_type, version, time, account. I tried a different method where I put the second if statement directly after the first and it worked to keep the order but I still don't know how to drop the unnecessary fields from the termination events.<Input NetMotion> Module im_file File "C:\Testing-logs\NetMotion.txt" <Exec> if $raw_event =~ /m_user="([^"]+).+?pop_ip_srv="([^"]+).+?ses_start="([^"]+).+?ses_state="([^"]+).+?vip="([^"]+)/ { if $4 = 'Connected' $event_type = 'VPN_SESSION_IP_ASSIGNED'; if $3 == 'Disconnected' $event_type = 'VPN_SESSION_IP_TERMINATION'; $version = 'v1'; $time = $3; $account = $1; $assigned_ip = $6; $source_ip = $2; $authentication_result = 'SUCCESS'; $authentication_target = $5; } </Exec> </Input>Would I do an additional if statement after that to basically say, if $event_type == 'VPN_SESSION_IP_TERMINATION' { delete($assigned_ip); delete($source_ip); delete($authentication_result); delete($authentication_target); }Any and all help is appreciated!

Hi all, Anybody here already using NXLog on Windows 2022? I seems to work pretty fine but I just figure that certain events just are not caught, for instance, EventID 4625, for Login failures. Despite I can see lots of occurrences on Event Viewer, they are not sent to my log server.

I have Windows server subscribing to a windows log event forwarder.  I have noticed that some events that appear within the forwarded event log are not ingested by NX Log and forwarded to the SIEM platform.  eg  event id 1102 and 22both events are forwarded from the source servers to the windows forwarded where nx log is running so windows upload is fine, just nxlog sending on to SIEM 

After applying the most recent Windows Patch, NXlog 2.10.2150 crashed on Windows 2022. Upgrades the nxlog agent to version 3.1.2319, however the problem continuesThe nxlog process became suspended in task manager, and the agent kept crashing.
