ERROR apr_file_write failed in om_exec on windows os when try to send logs to Azure Log Analytics
Hello, I'm trying configure NXlog CE (installed on windows server 2012r2) to collect syslog (from cisco asa), saving it to file and send to Azure Log Analytics (aka Microsoft OMS). In first step I try to collect syslog, convert to json and saving it to file. It's work well. For the next i installed last Pyton (3.8) and check that all libs installed. After that I changed the nxlog.conf according to the manual (https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide/azure-oms.html#forwarding-data-to-log-analytics). Buy NXlog gives me the following error: ERROR apr_file_write failed in om_exec; The pipe is being closed. How can I fix this error? My nxlog.conf: Panic Soft #NoFreeOnExit TRUE define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog define CERTDIR %ROOT%\cert define CONFDIR %ROOT%\conf define LOGDIR %ROOT%\data define LOGFILE %LOGDIR%\nxlog.log define JSONLOGFILE C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\data\json.txt LogFile %LOGFILE% Moduledir %ROOT%\modules CacheDir %ROOT%\data Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid SpoolDir %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 _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> <Extension json> Module xm_json </Extension> <Input udp> Module im_udp Port 514 Host 192.168.1.2 Exec parse_syslog(); to_json(); </Input> <Output file> Module om_file File '%JSONLOGFILE%' </Output> <Output azure_oms> Module om_exec Command "C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Launcher\\py.exe" Arg "C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\oms-pipe.py" </Output> <Route udp_to_file_and_oms> Path udp => file, azure_oms </Route> My configuration is different from the example in manual in the "Output azure_oms" part. If use this part as in the manual an error appears: <Output azure_oms> Module om_exec Command oms-pipe.py Exec to_json(); </Output> Error: ERROR couldn't execute process oms-pipe.py; The system cannot find the file specified. Please help me fix this error.
