Duplicates 4624 or other Event Viewer Log
IB_179669
Hi, I'm using NXLOG Community to transfer logs in and out, from Windows clients to a Linux server with an NXLOG agent for log collection.
The logs arrive correctly, the only thing is that for the event viewer (example) 4624, I see logs with the same time, even in milliseconds, but the message varies only for a few lines of the "message" field.
I wanted to avoid using the repeat module because I would create the same a log recording increasing the database.
This is client configuration file :
define ROOT C:\\Program Files\\nxlog
define ROOT_STRING C:\\Program Files\\nxlog
define CERTDIR %ROOT%\\cert
Moduledir %ROOT%\\modules
CacheDir %ROOT%\\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\\data\\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir %ROOT%\\data
LogFile %ROOT%\\data\\nxlog.log
define MonitoredEventIds 4624, 4647
<Extension _syslog>
Module xm_syslog
</Extension>
<Extension json>
Module xm_json
</Extension>
<Input eventlog>
Module im_msvistalog
<QueryXML>
<QueryList>
<Query Id='0'>
<Select Path="Security">*</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>
</QueryXML>
Exec if $EventID NOT IN (%MonitoredEventIds%) drop();
Exec if $TargetUserName == "SYSTEM" drop();
Exec if $TargetUserName =~ /\$/ drop();
Exec if $TargetUserName =~ /UMFD/ drop();
Exec if $TargetUserName =~ /DWM/ drop();
Exec if $LogonType == "5" drop();
</Input>
<Output out>
Module om_tcp
Host (10.*****)
Port 1514
Exec to_json();
</Output>
<Route eventlog_to_out>
this is server nxlog.conf
User nxlog
Group nxlog
LogFile /var/log/nxlog/nxlog.log

it's possible to not register duplicates at the origin?
it's possible to delete duplicates also in mysql database?
thanks you
