README: how to ask questions effectively
Hi All,
please adhere to the guidelines below to get faster responses to your queries.
1 State the problem clearly:
I am trying to collect logs from a log file using im_file and NXLog reads the whole file after each restart.
2 Provide your configuration
in a code block:
```
configuration text
```
3 provide the contents of nxlog.log
in a code block
2023-04-12 08:00:27 INFO [CORE|main] configuration OK 2023-04-12 08:00:27 INFO [CORE|main] nxlog-5.7.7898 (68bb24e7e@REL_v5.7) started on Linux 2023-04-12 08:00:27 INFO [om_batchcompress|to_relay] connecting to lab1.home(192.168.14.52):2514 2023-04-12 08:00:27 INFO [om_batchcompress|to_relay] tcp connection established with lab1.home(192.168.14.52):2514 2023-04-12 08:00:27 INFO [xm_admin|admin] connecting to lab1.home(192.168.14.52):4041 2023-04-12 08:00:27 INFO [xm_admin|admin] tcp connection established with lab1.home(192.168.14.52):4041 2023-04-12 08:00:28 INFO [im_fim|fim] Module 'fim': FIM scan started 2023-04-12 08:00:28 ERROR [im_fim|fim] Module 'fim' could not open file '/opt/nxlog/bin/upgrade-nxsec.sh': Permission denied 2023-04-12 08:00:28 INFO [im_fim|fim] Module 'fim': FIM scan finished in 0.05 seconds. Scanned folders: 15 Scanned files: 102 Read file bytes: 15674631
4 provide environment description
NXLog CE is running on Windows 2022 server
Package version is 3.2.2329
5 provide relevant details
This configuration has been working before we updated from version 2.11
Now it does not
6 if your problem involves parsing data provide samples of your input and expected output as well as what you actually get
My data looks like this:
{"message": “message1”, "time": Thu 20 Apr 10:48:43 CEST 2023}
I am getting an error:
> error message here
I would like to receive the time in UNIX time (seconds since Epoch)
Using this format enables us to get started much faster, and perhaps address your issue in the very first response we write
Would that not be great? :)
Thanks for your cooperation!
