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


<Extension json>
  Module      xm_json
</Extension>

<Extension syslog>
  Module      xm_syslog
</Extension>


<Input Lenel>
   Module   im_file
File 'C:\Program Files (x86)\program\logs\Dataexchange.log'
   SavePos  TRUE
   Recursive TRUE
   Exec $Message = $raw_event;
   Exec $Hostname = hostname_fqdn();
   
</input>

<Output local>
