Strange behaviour of NXLog for Windows - configuration is valid random times
Hi,
I've started playing with NXlog and have found strange behaviour.
This is my configuration:
[code]
<Input b-logs>
Module im_file
File "d:\\Temp\\Logs\\test.txt"
SavePos TRUE
InputType LineBased
Exec if ( $raw_event =~ /^#/ ) \
{ \
$raw_event="ok"; \
} \
else \
{ \
$raw_event="bad"; \
}
</Input>
<Output b-logs-out>
Module om_tcp
Host 192.168.0.8
Port 8888
</Output>
<Route 1>
Path b-logs => b-logs-out
</Route>
[/code]
I wrote simple python server that listens on TCP port 8888 on machine 192.168.0.8.
What I want to achieve is to display "OK" when line in my test log file, begins with "#" and "BAD" when it is not.
It works at the beginning. Output looks like following example:
OK
OK
BAD
OK
OK
Then I'm trying to change character "#" to any other and it stop working. Then I revert changes, put "#" into nxlog.conf again (restart Windows service) and instead of BAD or OK messages, NXLog sends entire line from log file.
I'm getting following results:
#line1
#Line2
TestLine3
#Comment at line4
I can't find reason of this behaviour.
Could you please give me any hint what may be the reason?
My exampe of configuration is not useful, but I just want to understand how nxlog works to be able to use it to more sophisticated tasks in future.
