Multiple NXConfigs

#1 Constrife 6 years ago

Hey,

I am currently having trouble finding a way to input multiple inputs. So I am currently forwarding my DNS log with the following:

> 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 gelf>
>     Module xm_gelf
>     ShortMessageLength -1
> </Extension>
> 
> <Input dns>
>     Module  im_file
>     File  "C:\DNS\dns.log"
>     SavePos TRUE
>     InputType LineBased
> </Input>
> 
> <Output out> 
>     Module      om_udp
>     Host        192.168.0.168
>     Port        5414
>     OutputType  GELF
> </Output>
> 
> <Route 2>
>     Path        dns => out
> </Route>

That works 100% and I am happy with the results. The issue comes with trying to send the DNS log and sending Windows Event logs as well. I tried the following but it always comes back with errors.

Both DNS and Winlogs

Just looking for a way to maybe input it correctly or find a way to use multiple NXLog config files

You need dns2 => out1 since you have <Input dns2> declared. This is what the error message is trying to say.
