Nxlog.conf unable to read /parse Directory or File path
Hello, I am using NXLOG on Windows 2012 to get DNS logs forwarded to my syslog server. I have enabled DNS logging on the Windows server and see the dns.log file is getting created under C:\Windows\System32\DNS\ folder . However my nxlog.conf is unable to browse or parse to get to this directory. I have made sure to check the log file is dns.log and not dns.txt in Windows.
If i mention the below in my nxlog.conf file, i get an error " WARNING input file does not exist: C:\Windows\System32\dns\dns.log"
<Input in>
Module im_file
File "C:\\Windows\\System32\\dns\\dns.log"
SavePos TRUE
InputType LineBased
</Input>
If i mention the below File path in my nxlog.conf then i get an error : "ERROR failed to open directory: C:\Windows\System32\dns: The system cannot find the path specified."
<Input in>
Module im_file
File "C:\\Windows\\System32\\dns\\dns*"
SavePos TRUE
InputType LineBased
</Input>
Same thing, even if i use single quotes & single \ i get the same error - " WARNING input file does not exist: C:\Windows\System32\dns\dns.log
<Input in>
Module im_file
File 'C:\Windows\System32\dns\dns.log'
SavePos TRUE
InputType LineBased
</Input>
Can someone plss help ? This is drving me crazy
