Nxlog handling big number of files

View thread

Hello,

I have an application that logs some API requests and responses. Each request is logged in a different file, as a single line. In the system there are thousands of files, and Nxlog seems to have issues sending the logs to Elasticsearch. It reads the file, I can see im_file_add_file command in logs, but it takes a long time to actually send the message.

How does Nxlog process multiple files in a single directory?
