Hi,We recently upgraded our NXlog agents to version 5*, and have noticed the following warning in the logs on some servers:2023-05-16 08:03:32 WARNING [CORE|main] not starting unused module logfile_IMAP42023-05-16 08:03:32 WARNING [CORE|main] not starting unused module logfile_POP3…We figured out that this happens when we have more then one _include.conf file on top of the main nxlog.conf file. It seems that it reads one of them, and then spews out this warning for all the modules/inputs in the other include.conf files. This is a new behavior. We use the following syntax at the bottom of the main nxlog.conf file:include  C:\\Program Files\\nxlog\\conf\\*_include.confIt used to work till the upgrade to version 5. Anyone else has this issue? 

Hi all, I'm using CE edition and sending logs to Taegis XDR, I've followed the instructions at this page:  Microsoft IIS (secureworks.com)Configured IIS per these instructions: https://docs.ctpx.secureworks.com/integration/connectEndpoint/microsoft_iis_connect/#configuring-microsoft-iis-logging Configured nxlog.conf per these instructions:  https://docs.ctpx.secureworks.com/integration/connectEndpoint/microsoft_iis_connect/#configuring-nxlog Logs are still not showing up, and I think I have this section in the nxlog.conf IIS config misconfigured with the IP of my Taegis CDR collecter. I've got the IP of my host entered into the HOST line, and the port entered into the PORT line. Am I supposed to comment out any of the ‘Module’ lines? Do I have it misconfigured below? Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance. <Output W3SVCOUT>   Module      om_udp   Module      om_tcp### Guidance on TLS/SSL configuration - https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide/om_ssl.html   Module    om_ssl   Host        x.x.x.x   Port        601   CAFile    %CERTDIR%\CA.cer   CertFile    %CERTDIR%\winhost.cer   CertKeyFile    %CERTDIR%\winhost.key   AllowUntrusted    FALSE

Hi,We're trying to deploy NXLog to our Windows 10 and Windows 7 32-bit machines. Installation can't push through and the following error message shows up:“This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor.”

The installation of the nxlog-windows_x64.msi fails on a Windows 2016 server, installing as Domain Administrator, and the error displayed was "Not enough permissions".

I've configured the NxLog for forwarding the security event logs from windows using the om_udp module and it is working as I can see those logs on the destination AWS EC2(rsyslog) instance. But when I tried to tweak the NxLog configuration for tcp forwarding using the om_tcp, it is throwing an error as shown below: "ERROR couldn't connect to tcp socket on <REDACTED>; A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond." Can someone assist here to overcome this error. FYI, both UDP and TCP reception rules are in place.

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.

Hi everyone, I have the following problem. 1 The problem:I trace the performance counters of several Windows clients. For that, CSV files are created and their inputs then are forwarded to our logging system. Each counter type (RAM, CPU, storage, etc) has its own CSV and therefore its own input in NXlog. While it works without any problems on nearly all clients, there is one Workstation where the im_file inputs are not forwardedBesides the im_file module we use the im_msvistalog module for Windows Event entries as well. And the Workstation does forward these events without any problems. It just has problems with the im_file inputs. Log file does not indicate any error and as I said: this configuration (with minor differences) already works flawlessly on the other systems. 2 The configuration:define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlog define CERTDIR C:\Program Files\nxlog\keys define CONFDIR %ROOT%\conf\nxlog.d define LOGDIR %ROOT%\data define LOGFILE %LOGDIR%\nxlog.log LogFile %LOGFILE% Moduledir %ROOT%\modules CacheDir %ROOT%\data Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid SpoolDir %ROOT%\data <Extension _syslog> Module xm_syslog </Extension> <Extension _gelf> Module xm_gelf </Extension> <Extension _charconv> Module xm_charconv AutodetectCharsets iso8859-2, utf-8, utf-16, utf-32 </Extension> <Extension _exec> Module xm_exec </Extension> <Extension _fileop> Module xm_fileop # Check the size of our log file hourly, rotate if larger than 5MB &lt;Schedule&gt; Every 1 hour Exec if (file_exists('%LOGFILE%') and \ (file_size('%LOGFILE%') &gt;= 5M)) \ file_cycle('%LOGFILE%', 8); &lt;/Schedule&gt; # Rotate our log file every week on Sunday at midnight &lt;Schedule&gt; When @weekly Exec if file_exists('%LOGFILE%') file_cycle('%LOGFILE%', 8); &lt;/Schedule&gt; </Extension> define MonitoredEventIDsSecurity 4624, 4634, 4672 Collecting event log <Input in> Module im_msvistalog SavePos TRUE ReadFromLast TRUE <QueryXML> <QueryList> <Query Id="0"> <Select Path="Security">*</Select> </Query> </QueryList> </QueryXML> <Exec> if $EventID NOT IN (%MonitoredEventIDsSecurity%) drop(); </Exec> </Input> <Input trace_cpu> Module im_file File 'C:\tracing\trace_cpu.csv' SavePos TRUE ReadFromLast TRUE Exec $Message = $raw_event; </Input> <Input trace_ram> Module im_file File 'C:\tracing\trace_ram.csv' SavePos TRUE ReadFromLast TRUE Exec $Message = $raw_event; </Input> <Input trace_networkmain> Module im_file File 'C:\tracing\trace_networkmain.csv' SavePos TRUE ReadFromLast TRUE Exec $Message = $raw_event; </Input> <Input trace_diskc> Module im_file File 'C:\tracing\trace_diskc.csv' SavePos TRUE ReadFromLast TRUE Exec $Message = $raw_event; </Input> <Input trace_diskd> Module im_file File 'C:\tracing\trace_diskd.csv' SavePos TRUE ReadFromLast TRUE Exec $Message = $raw_event; </Input> <Input trace_diske> Module im_file File 'C:\tracing\trace_diske.csv' SavePos TRUE ReadFromLast TRUE Exec $Message = $raw_event; </Input> <Output x> Module om_ssl Host %IP_Address% Port %Port% OutputType GELF_TCP CAFile %CERTDIR%\cafile.pem CertFile %CERTDIR%\certfile.pem CertKeyFile %CERTDIR%\certkeyfile.pem KeyPass %password% Exec to_syslog_snare(); </Output> #Connect input 'in' to output 'out' <Route 1> Path in, trace_cpu, trace_ram, trace_networkmain, trace_diskc, trace_diskd, trace_diske => x </Route> 3 The NXLog log:I think it's irrelevant because it only shows this entries:2023-05-09 09:13:13 WARNING stopping nxlog service 2023-05-09 09:13:13 WARNING nxlog-ce received a termination request signal, exiting... 2023-05-09 09:13:16 INFO connecting to %IP_Address%:%Port% 2023-05-09 09:13:16 INFO nxlog-ce-3.1.2319 started 2023-05-09 09:13:16 INFO successfully connected to %IP_Address%:%Port% 4 Environment info:The mentioned client runs Windows 10 Pro 22H2, currently installed NXLog Version is ce-3.1.2319 (but also tested it with ce-3.2.2329)5 Relevant details: Config works on other clients without problemsOnly im_file module not working, im_msvistalog entries are being forwardedUntil two weeks ago I used one central CSV file for all performance counters and this was forwarded correctly until the separation into individual inputsWhen deleting the “Exec $Message = $raw_event;” directive from an input, the respective messages get forwarded to logging system but are in a cryptic format and not useableThat would be it for now.

I'm trying to to save syslog and saving logs with a specific hostname based on the IP address.

Hi, I have a bit of an unconventional setup where I collect windows logs on one server, I then send these logs to another nxlog server via om_tcp. With the outputType GELF_TCP. From this second nxlog server, I then forward the logs to a graylog server using om_udp and outputType GELF_UDP. But the problem is that graylog seems to receive one message for each row in the windows log full message. If I instead forward directly from nxlog to graylog without the second nxlog-server inbetween, they arrive in the correct format. But I really need the other setup to work. Is there something I need to consider when it comes to formatting when first forwarding the logs to a second nxlog-server and then to the graylog server from there? 

We have a folder structure like:/opt/tomcat-onesite/bin | /logs | /etc.... |-/tomcat-anothersite/bin | /logs | /etc.... |-/tomcat-somewhereelse/bin | /logs | /etc.... |-/tomcat-etc... |-/tomcat-logs/onesite -> /opt/tomcat-onesite/logs /anothersite -> /opt/tomcat-anothersite/logs /somewhereelse -> /opt/tomcat-somewhereelse/logs /etc ....All folders directly under /opt/tomcat-logs are symlinks to the corresponding logs folder under each tomcat instance. We wanted to define a File of /opt/tomcat-logs/*.logwith Recursive   TRUE but nxlog-ce doesnt pick up anything. We also tried /opt/tomcat-logs/*/*.log but it seems like nxlog-ce is unable to follow a * symlink or recurse through a symlink. I have no problems with /opt/tomcat-logs/onesite/*.log which works OK. Is this a bug? Is there a reason it does not follow implicit symlinks but does follow them if named?Note with further testing I have /opt/tomcat-*/logs/*.log working and this will do for now but I feel sure this is an error.

Hi,we've configured im_maculs and have noticed, that it does not handle expected ULS logs (which are seen with log stream command).We then configured im_exec module, to run log stream and have compared configurations head-to-head, the input with im_exec receives expected logs, while im_maculs does not.Here is configuration:<Input m_uls>Module im_maculs<Exec># Filterif ($subsystem == 'com.apple.launchservices' and $category == 'open'){$Hostname = hostname();} else{drop();}to_json();</Exec></Input> <Input m_logstream>Module im_execCommand /usr/bin/logArg streamArg --style=ndjsonArg --type=log<Exec>if $raw_event =~ /^{/{# Filterif ($subsystem == 'com.apple.launchservices' and $category == 'open'){$Hostname = hostname();} else{drop();}to_json();} else{# Fix ERROR [im_exec|m_logstream] failed to parse json string, lexical error: invalid char in json text.; Filtering the log data using "t; (right here) ------^; [Filtering the log data using "type == 1024"]# Since first log stream output line is not a json log entry, but informational messagedrop();}</Exec></Input>The m_logstream Input produces log message every time a graphical application is openned in macOS, while the m_uls - does not. 

Hello,I'm deploying nxlog-ce docker container in order to collect logs from several servers.My container is running and stores logs in files. I would like store logs in a postgresql database but the om_dbi module is missing in the container.How can I add this module?

Hi folks,Is NXLog CE compatible with Windows Server 2003?  I am getting “The installation is not supported by this processor type” error.  Works fine on other OS's.RegardsBen

Is anyone else having problems trying to download NXLog CE?  I select the file I want to download and click the “Download” button, and it just hangs.

hello.  I have nxlog working oh so well sending Windows Events to Graylog.  Works perfectly, couldnt be happier.I however wanted to start sending some logs that an application creates.  Seems to be configured properly to send.  I can see the in the message section of graylog the lines of the log and they come into graylog as they're created.  However the line gets cut off after 64 characters per each line.  How can I get the full line of the log?
