Hello.

I like to collect Windows Event ID and send it to Linux Box. I installed "Syslog-NG" on Linux and it collect Windows Event Log very good but I have a problem about "Exec convert_fields("AUTO", "utf-8");". When I enable it in my config file then my "nxlog" can't send log!!!

My "nxlog" config is:

 

## This is a sample configuration file. See the nxlog reference manual about the

## configuration options. It should be installed locally and is also available
## online at http://nxlog.org/docs/

## Please set the ROOT to the folder your nxlog was installed into,
## otherwise it will not start.

#define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlog
define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog

Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
CacheDir %ROOT%\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir %ROOT%\data
LogFile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.log

<Extension _syslog>
    Module      xm_syslog
    AutodetectCharsets utf-8
</Extension>

<Input in>
    Module      im_msvistalog
# For windows 2003 and earlier use the following:
#   Module      im_mseventlog
    Exec if $EventID NOT IN (4660, 4663) drop(); 
    Exec convert_fields("AUTO", "utf-8");
</Input>

<Output out>
    Module      om_udp
    Host        172.30.9.20
    Port        514
    Exec        to_syslog_snare();
 </Output>

<Route 1>
    Path        in => out
</Route>

 

Any idea?

 

Thank you.
