NXLOG on Windows - Logs sent with a very long delay
siem_20
Hi All,
I am collecting and sending logs from a Windows Domain Controller (only security events). When I start the nxlog service, the logs are send in “real time”. However, Over time, a delay is generated, causing the accumulated delay to be hours after one day. What could happen to explain this behavior?
Configuration
define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlog
define CERTDIR %ROOT%\cert
define CONFDIR %ROOT%\conf
define LOGDIR %ROOT%\data
define LOGFILE %LOGDIR%\nxlog.log
