Hello,

I'm trying to use the log rotation functionality of nxlog but when nxlog tries to rotate is get the follow error message:

Error failed to rename file from C:\Users\me\Desktop\pfirewall.log to C:\Users\me\Desktop\pfirewall.log.1: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Is there anyway to get around this?

Here is my nxlog.conf

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

define FWLOG C:\Users\me\Desktop\pfirewall.log

<Extension _syslog> Module xm_syslog </Extension>

<Extension fileop> Module xm_fileop </Extension>

<Input FWLOG> Module im_file File '%FWLOG%' InputType LineBased SavePos TRUE </Input>

<Output OUT> Module om_file File '%FWLOG%'

<Schedule>
    Every   10 sec
    Exec    if (file_size('%FWLOG%') >= 1K)  \
            { \
                file_cycle('%FWLOG%',10); \
                OUT->reopen(); \
            }
</Schedule>

</Output>

<Route 1> Path FWLOG => OUT </Route>
