Hello,

I am currently using NXLog (nxlog-ce-2.9.1716) and I noticed that the snare output format has missing fields on the date :

Aug 23 15:03:59 HOSTNAME.DOMAIN MSWinEventLog    1    Security    121659     Aug 23 15:03:59 2017    4624    Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing    N/A    N/A    Success Audit    HOSTNAME.DOMAIN    Logon        An account was successfully logged on.    Subject:   Security ID:  S-1-0-0   Account Name:  -   Account Domain:  -   Logon ID:  0x0    Logon Type:   3    Impersonation Level:  Impersonation    New Logon:   Security ID:  S-1-5-21-2980885132-2242275795-2054596362-15959   Account Name:  Account_name   Account Domain:  DOMAIN   Logon ID:  0x1F5DF4F   Logon GUID:  {E2944EC9-BBE0-21A7-50EF-C6A58DBD6A72}    Process Information:   Process ID:  0x0   Process Name:  -    Network Information:   Workstation Name: -   Source Network Address: X.X.X.X   Source Port:  50240    Detailed Authentication Information:   Logon Process:  Kerberos   Authentication Package: Kerberos   Transited Services: -   Package Name (NTLM only): -   Key Length:  0    This event is generated when a logon session is created. It is generated on the computer that was accessed.    The subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.    The logon type field indicates the kind of logon that occurred. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).    The New Logon fields indicate the account for whom the new logon was created, i.e. the account that was logged on.    The network fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.    The impersonation level field indicates the extent to which a process in the logon session can impersonate.    The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.   - Logon GUID is a unique identifier that can be used to correlate this event with a KDC event.   - Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.   - Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.   - Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.    89247264

There should be the day like Wed Aug 23 15:04:01 2017, and I don't know if I can modify the configuration to add this field...

Moreover I also noticed that the space between the ID and the date (  121661     Aug 23 15:04:01 2017) is not always the same. Sometime there is a TAB and sometime just a space between the fields.

Is there any configuration to make it the same for each and every logs ? This cause my SIEM to not parse every logs correctly...

Thank you.
