ERROR invalid keyword: CAThumbprint
Hey everyone! I'm attempting to use the om_ssl module on an NXLog Community Edition but checking the logs at "C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\data\nxlog" showed the following message: "ERROR invalid keyword: CAThumbprint" After not finding anything about the error above, I decided to use a combination of CAFile, CertFile, CertKeyFile and KeyPass on the Output configuration which worked but I'd rather use the CAThumbprint directive. What am I doing wrong? Output tag from the "C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf" looked like this: <Output out> Module om_ssl CAThumbprint xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # numbers and letters, without spaces Host 10.0.0.10 # representative IP Port 1514 Exec to_syslog_bsd(); </Output>

Windows Client Authentication - Certs in Windows Certificate Store
We have a requirement to send Windows Event logs over an encrypted channel with client authentication. The issue is, the certificates in our infrastructure are stored in the Computer Certificates store with private keys that are marked as non-exportable. I'm looking for a way to either: a) Somehow use NXLog to utilize the client certificate from within the store (ideal but I don't think NXLog is written to handle this) b) Find a scalable method for hundreds of servers to copy the key pair to NXLog-friendly PEM format from within the certificate store. There are ways to do this, but since the key is not marked as exportable it takes a lot of work to export that I don't think can be efficiently automated. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Our current implementation is sending input from the Event Log to a Syslog server. Thanks!
