Logs sent with a very long delay
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
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. Here are snippets of the  nxlog.conf with @reboot. <Output fileout1>   Module om_file   File "/var/log/nxlog/syslog.txt"   Exec if $Message =~ /error/ $SeverityValue = syslog_severity_value("error");   Exec to_syslog_bsd();<Schedule>        # This can likewise be used for `@weekly` or `@monthly` time periods.         When @reboot        # The following crontab-style is the same as `@daily` above.        # When "0 0 * * *"         # The `Every` directive could also be used in this case.         #Every @startup        Exec    rotate_to(file_name() + strftime(now(), '_%Y-%m-%d'));    </Schedule></Output>…<Output fileout2>   Module om_file   File "/var/log/nxlog/logmsg2.txt"</Output><Extension fileop>Module xm_fileop<Schedule> When @reboot # Delete logs older than 14 days (24x60x60x30)        Exec    file_remove('/var/log/nxlog/*.txt*', now() - 1209600);</Schedule></Extension> Here is the output from console when I try to start nxlogubuntu@ip-172-31-17-93:~$ sudo systemctl restart nxlogJob for nxlog.service failed because the control process exited with error code.See "systemctl status nxlog.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.ubuntu@ip-172-31-17-93:~$ sudo systemctl status nxlog.service● nxlog.service - NXLog daemon    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nxlog.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)    Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2025-02-28 09:49:47 PST; 29s ago   Process: 2821 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/nxlog -v (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)Feb 28 09:49:47 ip-172-31-17-93 systemd[1]: Starting NXLog daemon...Feb 28 09:49:47 ip-172-31-17-93 nxlog[2821]: 2025-02-28 09:49:47 ERROR couldn't parse value for directive 'When': @reboot not supported at /etc/nxlog/nxlog.conf:43Feb 28 09:49:47 ip-172-31-17-93 systemd[1]: nxlog.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILUREFeb 28 09:49:47 ip-172-31-17-93 systemd[1]: nxlog.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.Feb 28 09:49:47 ip-172-31-17-93 systemd[1]: Failed to start NXLog daemon. Seems like it does not like the When directive, but not sure why since it is in the documentation. nxlog starts fine if I use @daily, but since the system is shut down during the day change, the operations are not performed. Thanks!

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.

The NXLOG Process 100% CPU Load after Server restart.
Hi NXLOG Community,the NXLOG Process 100% CPU Load after Server restart on Windows Systems.The Problemcause is simple but i dont understand why.A Handfull of Servers whit much logfiles (nxlogconfiguration use Wildcard for logfolder(s)).The Logfiles are written in the Cachefile and looks okay. But it feels like digs through all log files.Small footage of a Configuration:<Input catalina> Module im_file File 'C:\Tomcat\logs\\catalina*.log' Recursive True PollInterval 30 SavePos True CloseWhenIdle True &lt;Exec&gt; #parse date if $raw_event =~ /(\d\d\-\S\S\S-\d\d\d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d)/ $EventTime = strptime($1, '%d-%b-%Y%t%H:%M:%S'); # Now set the severity to something custom. This defaults to 'INFO' if unset. if $raw_event =~ /\sSEVERE\s/ $Severity = 'CRITICAL'; else if $raw_event =~ /\sERROR\s/ $Severity = 'ERROR'; else if $raw_event =~ /\sWARN\s/ $Severity = 'WARNING'; else $Severity = 'INFO'; # The facility can be also set, otherwise the default value is 'USER'. $SyslogFacility = 'AUDIT'; &lt;/Exec&gt; </Input>We use the Last CE Version.: nxlog-ce-3.2.2329Thanks, regards Wolfgang

Insert custom text into log (raw event)
Hi,I am trying to insert a custom, static text into the raw event (so that the output has the custom text + the log). However, it refuses to work. The log output is the same whether I add or remove my exec $raw_event My config input and output look like this: <Input in> Module im_msvistalog <QueryXML> <QueryList> <Query Id='0'> <Select Path='System'></Select> <Select Path='Application'></Select> <Select Path='Security'>*</Select> </Query> </QueryList> </QueryXML> Exec $raw_event = "STATIC CONTENT" + $raw_event; </Input> <Output out> Module om_udp Host XX.XX.XX.XX Port 514 Exec to_syslog_snare(); </Output> <Route 1> Path in => out </Route>   Logs:2025-02-12 11:09:20 INFO nxlog-ce-3.2.2329 started

Help converting Windows Event to JSON
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
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?

using nxlog regex_replace
Hello, im trying to use this function to hide filenames for windows event 4663 and attempt was made to access an object: <Processor replace_files> Exec if $raw_event =~ /Object Name.*\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/ { # Replace file name with 'xxxxx' and keep the file extension intact $raw_event = regex_replace($raw_event, '(Object Name.*\\)[^\\]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)', '\1xxxxx\2'); } </Processor>nxlog logs keeps telling im missing a module, is this function locked to the enterprise version ? is there another way around it ? thanks in advance

route to local file.
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

Dear Community,I am using NXlog community edition and am experiencing the problem that using the following configuration, the log sent to rsyslog arrives with the characters #011 as tab and #015 as carriage return: <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 json>    Module xm_json</Extension> <Input internal>    Module im_internal</Input> <Input eventlog>    Module im_msvistalogQuery <QueryList>\    <Query Id="0">\    <Select Path="Application">*</Select>\    <Select Path="System">*</Select>\    <Select Path="Security">*</Select>\</Query>\</QueryList>    Exec if ($EventID == 5156) OR ($EventID == 5158) drop();    Exec $HOSTNAME=hostname();    Exec $Message = replace($Message, "#011", " ");    Exec $raw_event = replace($raw_event, "#011", " ");#    Exec $Message =~ s/(\t|\R)/ /g;#    Exec $Message =~ s/(\t|\R|\011|\015)/ /g;</Input> <Output out>    Module om_tcp    Host %OUTPUT_DESTINATION_ADDRESS%    Port %OUTPUT_DESTINATION_PORT%    Exec $Message = replace($Message, "#011", " ");    Exec $raw_event = replace($raw_event, "#011", " ");    Exec to_syslog_snare();    Exec $Message = replace($Message, "#011", " ");    Exec $raw_event = replace($raw_event, "#011", " ");</Output> <Route 1>    Path eventlog, internal => out</Route> Can you tell me how to solve the problem? It seems not to remove the tab and carriage return characters.Thank you very much.

Nxlog stops sending data to a route if another route is actively rejecting connections
Nxlog stops sending data to a route if another route is actively rejecting connections.The other output stops sending data after a while (from a few minutes to a day), although TCP-connection is supported.We use 2 routes at the same time with 1 input.There is our nxlog config: “The in1 module is used by both routes. ”Planforms: Windows 2016/2019 and Windows 2022nxlog.conf<Route r1> Path in => out1 </Route> <Route r2> Path in => out2 </Route>Logs:2024-11-21 13:28:53 INFO nxlog-ce-3.2.2329 started 2024-11-21 13:28:53 INFO connecting to Graylogserver:12523 2024-11-21 13:28:53 INFO connecting to Graylogserver:12527 2024-11-21 13:28:54 INFO reconnecting in 1 seconds 2024-11-21 13:28:54 ERROR couldn't connect to tcp socket on Graylogserver:12523; No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 2024-11-21 13:28:55 INFO connecting to Graylogserver:12523 2024-11-21 13:28:56 INFO reconnecting in 2 seconds 2024-11-21 13:28:56 ERROR couldn't connect to tcp socket on Graylogserver:12523; No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 2024-11-21 13:28:58 INFO connecting to Graylogserver:12523

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?
