Agent not showing as online in manager
Hello, We've deployed NXLog EE agents on numerous Windows servers, and we're facing a strange issue with just one agent. It does not, and we're unable to get it to, show as online within the NXLog Manager. The agent's log states that it was able to successfully connect to the manager, but it's still showing as offline in the UI. I have tried the following: Upgraded agent to the latest version Verified that the agent's logs said it was able to connect to the manager (10.40.1.90) Removed the agent from the manager interface Removed the agent off of the server Reinstalled the agent on the server, and reconfigured the certificate and managed.conf file Verified that it connected to the manager in the agent's logs And even after all of that, the agent is still showing as offline on the manager's UI. 2022-09-23 16:22:40 WARNING [CORE|main] no functional input modules! 2022-09-23 16:22:40 INFO [CORE|main] nxlog-5.6.7727 (50b2a4353@REL_v5.6) started on Windows 2022-09-23 16:22:40 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] connecting to 192.168.1.1:4041 2022-09-23 16:23:01 ERROR [xm_admin|agent_management] couldn't connect to 192.168.1.1:4041; A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. 2022-09-23 16:23:01 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] reconnecting to 192.168.1.1:4041 in 1 sec 2022-09-23 16:23:02 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] connecting to 192.168.1.1:4041 2022-09-23 16:23:21 WARNING [CORE|main] stopping nxlog service 2022-09-23 16:23:21 WARNING [CORE|main] nxlog received a termination request signal, exiting... 2022-09-23 16:23:23 ERROR [xm_admin|agent_management] couldn't connect to 192.168.1.1:4041; A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. 2022-09-23 16:23:23 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] reconnecting to 192.168.1.1:4041 in 2 sec 2022-09-23 16:23:24 WARNING [CORE|main] no functional input modules! 2022-09-23 16:23:24 INFO [CORE|main] nxlog-5.6.7727 (50b2a4353@REL_v5.6) started on Windows 2022-09-23 16:23:24 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] connecting to 10.40.1.90:4041 <==== Here I set the manager's correct IP in managed.conf 2022-09-23 16:23:24 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] tcp connection established with 10.40.1.90:4041 2022-09-23 16:28:24 WARNING [xm_admin|agent_management] did not receive requests from agent manager in the past 300 seconds, disconnecting 2022-09-23 16:28:24 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] reconnecting to 10.40.1.90:4041 (last connection attempt was 300 sec ago) 2022-09-23 16:28:24 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] connecting to 10.40.1.90:4041 2022-09-23 16:28:24 INFO [xm_admin|agent_management] tcp connection established with 10.40.1.90:4041 <==== Here it says it was able to connect to the manager just fine.

Looking at the <Message> we see AccessList is incorrect: <AccessList>%%4416&#xD;&#xA; </AccessList> where AccessList in XML is: <Data Name="AccessList">%%4416</Data> Conclusion there is a bug in the event parser that do not escape "#xD;&#xA; " characters correctly, decoding the #xA; in \x0a cutting the syslog message... You can easily reproduce the problem using this configuration: <Input eventlog> Module im_msvistalog SavePos True &lt;QueryXML&gt; &lt;QueryList&gt; &lt;Query Id=&quot;10&quot;&gt; &lt;Select Path=&quot;ForwardedEvents&quot;&gt;*&lt;/Select&gt; &lt;/Query&gt; &lt;Query Id=&quot;20&quot;&gt; &lt;Select Path=&quot;Application&quot;&gt;*&lt;/Select&gt; &lt;Select Path=&quot;System&quot;&gt;*&lt;/Select&gt; &lt;/Query&gt; &lt;/QueryList&gt; &lt;/QueryXML&gt; Exec $Message = to_xml(); </Input> <Output debugsyslog> Module om_file File 'C:\Install\nxlog.debug.syslog.txt' Exec to_syslog_ietf(); </Output> <Route syslog_file> Path eventlog => debugsyslog </Route>

TLS Syslog Cert Question - PEM vs CER
Hi All, We are cutting our NXLog Community version over to a new solution and are currently using .pem certificate files to encrypt syslog in the om_ssl module. The new system is using a .cer file for the certificate and when cutting over an agent to reference the .cer rather than .pem, it doesn't seem like the logs are being decrypted. I didn't see anything in the documentation indicating NXLog doesn't support .cer or only supports .pem, but I wanted to query the forum to see if anyone else experienced issues with setting the TLS to utilize a .epm files for encrypted log forwrding. Thanks.

Possible memory leak? - Windows Server 2012 R2 - NXLog EE
Hello all, Hoping someone will be able to pinpoint the issue we're experiencing. We have deployed the latest NXLog Enterprise Edition agents (nxlog-5.5.7535) on numerous Windows servers, including multiple domain controllers (DCs). We're running into an issue where the agents on two DCs have a continuous increase in RAM usage. No other servers experience this problem. Over multiple days the memory usage by the agent slowly increases to gigabytes. This will keep increasing, but we restart the agent and we're back at ~10MB of RAM usage. The DCs with this issue run Windows Server 2012 R2. There are newer DCs in place as well, running Windows Server 2022. These new DCs do not have this problem. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? If you require further information, please let me know. All the DCs have the same agent template deployed on them, see below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <agent> <agentType>TEMPLATE</agentType> <global-config> <log-level>INFO</log-level> <is-log-to-file>true</is-log-to-file> <connection-mode>LISTEN_FROM</connection-mode> <connection-address>172.16.1.44</connection-address> <!-- IP address of NXlog Manager --> <connection-port>4041</connection-port> <verbatim></verbatim> </global-config> <route> <name>route1</name> <priority>0</priority> <module-route> <module-id>RIN</module-id> </module-route> <module-route> <module-id>eventlog</module-id> </module-route> <module-route> <module-id>dnsaudit</module-id> </module-route> </route> <module> <name>RIN</name> <module>om_tcp</module> <config xsi:type="module-connect-address-config-mapping" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <type>OUTPUT</type> <verbatim>Exec to_syslog_snare();</verbatim> <connect-address>172.16.1.43</connect-address> <!-- IP address of log collector --> <port>517</port> <!-- Port used to collect logs by collector.

My config file is as follows: <Input 1> Module im_tcp host 0.0.0.0 Port 514 Exec parse_syslog(); </Input> <Output out> Module om_file Module xm_exec File &quot;C:\\NXlogs\\Test_Log.log&quot; exec if $raw_event =~ /ERROR/ exec_async(&quot;C:\\windows\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe&quot;, &quot;-ExecutionPolicy&quot;, &quot;Bypass&quot;, &quot;-command&quot;, &quot;‪‪C:\\NXlogs\\test.ps1&quot;); </Output> <Route > Path 1 => out </Route> After running it got error message like: 2022-09-07 15:21:22 ERROR subprocess 'C:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe' was terminated by a signal. Even running notpad.exe or a batch script have got same error like: ERROR subprocess ................. was terminated by a signal. Does anyone know what is the reason?

Memory leak xm_python, om_python
In a heavily loaded environment, around 250K values per minute using python modules, causes memory leaks and out of memory errors. Checked on: Ubuntu 20 LTS, Centos 8 Stream. After 15-20 minutes of working (Kafka python script) nxlog eats over 8 GB of RAM + 3G swap and crush. Every restart or reload service clean the memory. Using the perl module is not the solution. Anyone has the same? Maybe any tips to resolve it.

High cpu usage on rhel 8 with nxlog ce-3.0.2272 after losing connection to syslog-server
Hi, we have a problem with nxlog cpu usage after it loses connection to syslog-server. After losing connection the cpu usage peaks to 100% until nxlog is stopped. We are using om_ssl module and the problem only happens on rhel 8-computers. All the other computers with windows/rhel 7 are working fine with same configurations. I have tried without om_ssl-module, then it works just fine. Our system: Rocky Linux 8.6 Nxlog version ce-3.0.2272_rhel8.x86_64 As my syslog-server, i am using graylog. Is anyone else having this problem?

Parsing XML Logs
I have never had to parse XML files with NxLog so I am new at this process. This config file grabs Windows Event logs and some trace files from XML files. The Windows Event logs works as it should. The XML, I cannot get to work. I am not getting any output from the XML. Panic Soft #NoFreeOnExit TRUE define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlog define CERTDIR %ROOT%\cert define CONFDIR %ROOT%\conf define LOGDIR %ROOT%\data define LOGFILE %LOGDIR%\nxlog.log LogFile %LOGFILE% Moduledir %ROOT%\modules CacheDir %ROOT%\data Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid SpoolDir %ROOT%\data <Extension _gelf> Module xm_gelf ShortMessageLength 500 </Extension> <Extension xml> Module xm_xml </Extension> <Input EventLog_In> # Use 'im_mseventlog' for Windows XP, 2000 and 2003 Module im_msvistalog # Uncomment the following to collect specific event logs only Query <QueryList> <Query Id="0"> <Select Path="Application"></Select> <Select Path="System"></Select> <Select Path="Security">*</Select> </Query> </QueryList> </Input> <Input IISTrace_In> Module im_file File 'F:\Fileshare\Infrastructure Department\Logs\W3SVC1\fr001307.xml' Exec parse_xml(); </Input> <Output EventLog_Out> Module om_tcp Host IP SCRUBBED Port 12201 Exec to_syslog_snare(); OutputType GELF_TCP </Output> <Output IISTrace_Out> Module om_file File 'F:\Fileshare\Infrastructure Department\Logs\NxLog\Test\Test.log' </Output> <Route EventLog> Path EventLog_In => EventLog_Out </Route> <Route IISTrace> Path IISTrace_In => IISTrace_Out </Route>

Source code version issue
Has anyone else noticed that the source code package says version nxlog-ce-3.0.2272.tar.gz and when you decompress the package it says version nxlog-ce-3.0.14 and the compiled version is nxlog-ce-3.0.14 I really appreciate nxlog-ce being free and available. Thumbs up to the developers.

logs are not forwarded if windows time-date is changed backwards
Hi! We have nxlog ce running in a Windows machine. It works ok. If time is changed to the future, it continues forwarding logs. However, if time is changed to the past, logs are not forwarded anymore. This affects to logs from windows events, from a text file, etc. It seems that nxlog is filtering the logs and that logs with a previous time than others received are discarded. Logs are forwarded again if nxlog service is restarted (this seems to be doing a 'reset' on expected time) Do you know how could we avoid this?

nxlog-ce for SLES?
Hello nxlog community, :-) we're currently in the preparation process of analyzing nxlog as potential logging software for our company and while doing so we were looking for a nxlog community edition that supports our SLES operating systems. The official download page does not list versions for any SUSE operating system. We know that SLES is supported by the enterprise edition, but for testing purposes we would like to use the community edition to get started. We've successfully compiled the community edition's source code and installed it on SLES via ... zypper in gcc apr-devel pcre-devel libopenssl-devel libexpat-devel ./configure make make install ... but doing so lacks a lot of other things (which must be taken care of manually) like creating nxlog user and group, assigning its GID, creating config files, systemd units, directories in /usr/local/etc ... What are we missing? What is the best way to get nxlog-ce installed on SLES 15 SP3? Thank you in advance. Best regards Dennis

Windows Event log processing slow
Hello, We are using nxlog-ce 3.0.2284 on Windows 2016 to collect event logs and forward them to our new SIEM. We experience an increasing delay in the reception of these events by the SIEM. It starts with a few seconds delay and after a moment, the delay has progressively increased to hours. We collect all the event logs, without any filter and the observed throughput is around 150eps, with peaks at 700eps. The output is om_tcp with TLS. Last, we disabled the buffer processor to see if it helps, but with no improvement. The server does not seem to be very loaded in terms of RAM, CPU and disk. Are we reaching nxlog maximum performance ? Looking at the docs, it seems and the default values for BatchSize is 31 and PollInterval is 1 second. Does it mean that the maximum input thoughput is 31eps ? Lowering the PollInterval to 0.1 seconds seems to help, but is it the recommended strategy to improve performance ? How can we configure nxlog to improve the performance ? Thank you for your help ! David
