Multiple NXConfigs

**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
>
>
> Module xm_gelf
> ShortMessageLength -1
>
>
>
> Module im_file
> File "C:\DNS\dns.log"
> SavePos TRUE
> InputType LineBased
>
>
>
> Module om_udp
> Host 192.168.0.168
> Port 5414
> OutputType GELF
>
>
>
> Path dns => out
>
**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.**

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

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.

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