Good day everyone!

I am starting to use NXLog:CE in my environment and am having a few windows devices not reporting to my Observium server. I have the same .conf deployed across all windows devices. I am attempting to pattern hunt what could be different but being enterprise devices they are not configured much differently. I have a local debug file running and I am seeing events being written on all devices.

I know this is not much detail but I would appreciate any suggestions of places to look.

Thank you in advance,

Scott
