Hey!
I can think of several ways to solve this, but I'm looking to see if anyone has a better idea. I'm getting some logs that are uploaded as a gzipped file. I need to uncompress the file and then send the log content to several destinations, but for this purpose, let's assume that I'm using om_tcp as the destination. I'm considering a couple of options, but has anyone already done something like this or have a brilliant idea for handling it?
Thanks!

Built-in compression support is on the roadmap. Unfortunately this didn't make it into the latest NXLog EE v4.0 release.
Would something like the following work? You can use a script via im_exec that uncompresses the files:
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
for i in *.log.gz; do
zcat $i;
mv $i /processed/;
done
sleep 1;
done
