$raw_event from input im_file module not sent when output module uses om_tcp module with snare or bsd format


#1 emyatsuna
Hi, I'm trying to send a raw event in our specific logfile to another server via tcp using NXlog CE. The receiving end requires snare or bsd format. I already used the to_syslog_snare() and to_syslog_bsd() in the om_tcp module but it didn't work. I also tried to parse input module by adding empty condition to check raw event but it didn't work too. If I hardcode the raw event using exec then convert to snare or bsd in the output module, I'm receiving the hardcoded and formatted event in my server. Have I missed any configurations? Below is mysample config. Thanks a lot! Module xm_syslog Module im_file File "C:/test.txt" ReadFromLast TRUE SavePos TRUE # if empty line then do not send if $raw_event !~ /^.*$/ { drop(); } else { $raw_event = to_syslog_bsd(); } Module om_tcp Host myserver Port 8888 # to_syslog_snare(); # not receiving raw event in myserver # to_syslog_bsd(); # not receiving raw event in myserver # Exec $raw_event = "Hello there!"; to_syslog_bsd(); # this works; hardcoded one and formatted to syslog_bsd Path in => out ------------------------ C:/test.txt Hello This is a test! 3rd line Bye

Hello, I would use something like this... ``` Module xm_syslog Module im_file File 'C:\test.txt' ReadFromLast TRUE SavePos TRUE if ($raw_event == "") { drop(); } Module om_tcp Host myserver Port 8888 Exec to_syslog_bsd(); ```
