logs are not forwarded if windows time-date is changed backwards

Hi!

We have nxlog ce running in a Windows machine. It works ok.

  • If time is changed to the future, it continues forwarding logs.
  • However, if time is changed to the past, logs are not forwarded anymore. This affects to logs from windows events, from a text file, etc.

It seems that nxlog is filtering the logs and that logs with a previous time than others received are discarded. Logs are forwarded again if nxlog service is restarted (this seems to be doing a 'reset' on expected time) Do you know how could we avoid this?
