Hello, I'm using NXlog CE 2.10.2150 on a Win2016 server to collect "Forwarded Events" and send to a syslog server as snare formatted. However, some events only contain their System segment, missing their entire EventData. Here's my configuration (EventData Missing): <Input eventlog> Module im_msvistalog Query <QueryList> <Query Id=""> <Select Path="ForwardedEvents">*</Select> </Query> </QueryList> </Input> <Output out> Module om_tcp Host ip_syslogs_server Port 514 Exec to_syslog_snare(); </Output> <Route 1> Path eventlog => out </Route> Resulting in (tcpdump): <14>Nov 11 10:50:37 server2.domain MSWinEventLog 1 Security 2189 Wed Nov 11 10:50:37 2020 4768 Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing N/A N/A Success Audit server2.domain Kerberos Authentication Service N/A 998061427 Here's my configuration (EventData Included): <Input eventlog> Module im_msvistalog Query <QueryList> <Query Id=""> <Select Path="ForwardedEvents">*</Select> </Query> </QueryList> Exec $Message =~ s/(\t|\R)/ /g; Exec $Message = to_json(); </Input> <Output out> Module om_tcp Host ip_syslogs_server Port 514 Exec to_syslog_snare(); </Output> <Route 1> Path eventlog => out </Route> Resulting in (tcpdump): <14>Nov 11 10:49:36 server1 MSWinEventLog 1 Security 1593 Wed Nov 11 10:49:36 2020 4768 Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing N/A N/A Success Audit server1 Kerberos Authentication Service {"EventTime":"2020-11-11 10:49:36","Hostname":"server1","Keywords":-9214364837600034816,"EventType":"AUDIT_SUCCESS","SeverityValue":2,"Severity":"INFO","EventID":4768,"SourceName":"Microsoft-Windows-Security-Auditing","ProviderGuid":"{54849625-5478-4994-A5BA-3E3B0328CXXX}","Version":0,"Task":14339,"OpcodeValue":0,"RecordNumber":953757340,"ProcessID":708,"ThreadID":11484,"Channel":"Security","ERROR_EVT_UNRESOLVED":true,"Category":"Kerberos Authentication Service","Opcode":"Info","TargetUserName":"User1","TargetDomainName":"domain","TargetSid":"S-1-5-21-3493186346-123456789-198542525-123456","ServiceName":"krbtgt","ServiceSid":"S-1-5-21-123456789-2449186506-123456525-502","TicketOptions":"0x40000000","Status":"0x0","TicketEncryptionType":"0x12","PreAuthType":"2","IpAddress":"10.xxx.xxx.xxx","IpPort":"33925","EventReceivedTime":"2020-11-11 10:49:38","SourceModuleName":"eventlog","SourceModuleType":"im_msvistalog"} 953757340 As you can see NXLog fills the EventData with "N/A" in my first example and wiht JSON Encoded Full EventData in my Second Example.

Hello, I'm logging event logs from a custom c++ app to a server and am trying to setup file cycling for both the application event logs and NXLog log file. When I add a second Output to my Route, I start to see the event logs showing up in the NXLog log file, which I wasn't expecting. I'm not sure how to approach this ... should I be setting up a second path for the NXLog cycling? Here's what my config file is looking like: Keep 2 weeks of app log files <Output app_log_cycle> Module om_file File 'C:/Users/Jeremy/Documents/myApp/myApp.log' <Schedule> When @daily <Exec> file_cycle(file_name(), 7); app_log_cycle->reopen(); </Exec> </Schedule> </Output> Keep 2 weeks of nxlog log files <Output nxlog_log_cycle> Module om_file File 'C:/Program Files (x86)/nxlog/data/nxlog.log' <Schedule> When @daily <Exec> file_cycle(file_name(), 14); nxlog_log_cycle->reopen(); </Exec> </Schedule> </Output> <Route 1> Path watchfile => syslogout, app_log_cycle, nxlog_log_cycle </Route> Thanks++ for any tips! Jeremy

Hey everyone! I'm attempting to use the om_ssl module on an NXLog Community Edition but checking the logs at "C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\data\nxlog" showed the following message: "ERROR invalid keyword: CAThumbprint" After not finding anything about the error above, I decided to use a combination of CAFile, CertFile, CertKeyFile and KeyPass on the Output configuration which worked but I'd rather use the CAThumbprint directive. What am I doing wrong? Output tag from the "C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf" looked like this: <Output out> Module om_ssl CAThumbprint xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # numbers and letters, without spaces Host 10.0.0.10 # representative IP Port 1514 Exec to_syslog_bsd(); </Output>

Hi, I have a log source (Cisco ironport) that sends some multi-line logs via syslog and I want to join only one log when the ICID is the same in the first case and join only one log when the MID is the same in the second case .

Hey guys, We tested nxlog on a few servers and everything worked fine, no problem at all. Now when we deployed it to more, after 2 hours, the clients just keep disconnecting and reconnecting. I'm really not sure what's happening. We're using a self signed cert, made with opeenssl. Not sure what would you need to identify my problem. If needed I'll copy over the debug log or conf file. Environment is windows. Any help is appreciated!

hi all Fairly simple one i think we send way too many "informational" Messages from a few of our Windows servers to Loggly i want to simply stop sending those "informational" messages any help would be appreciated Dale

How would I go about statically assigning the value of x-forward-for the end of an IIS message that is being read through IM_FIle? I am doing testing of IIS Log files and I want to take a value from an internal system and add the x-forward-for field to the message. I have tried adding it to the Input on im_file Exec $Message = $x_forwarded_for + ' ' + 'x.x.x.x'; I have tried it as $raw_event = $raw_event + 'x.x.x.x' Either the value never shows up or it ends up outside of the message. What I need is for it to be inside the message. Essentially where the time-taken is on this example message I would end up with my static x-forwarded-for entry. #Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 10.0 #Version: 1.0 #Date: 2017-10-02 17:11:27 #Fields: date time s-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem cs-uri-query s-port cs-username c-ip cs(User-Agent) cs(Referer) sc-status sc-substatus sc-win32-status time-taken 2017-10-02 17:11:27 fe80::b5d8:132c:cec9:daef%6 RPC_IN_DATA /rpc/rpcproxy.dll 1d4026cb-6730-43bf-91eb-df80f41c050f@test.com:6001&CorrelationID=<empty>;&RequestId=11d6a78a-7c34-4f43-9400-ad23b114aa62&cafeReqId=11d6a78a-7c34-4f43-9400-ad23b114aa62; 80 TEST\HealthMailbox418406e fe80::b5d8:132c:cec9:daef%6 MSRPC - 500 0 0 7990 2017-10-02 17:12:57 fe80::a425:345a:7143:3b15%2 POST /powershell clientApplication=ActiveMonitor;PSVersion=5.1.14393.1715 80 - fe80::a425:345a:7143:3b15%2 Microsoft+WinRM+Client - 500 0 0 11279

Using one dedicated NXlog node as master collector that forwards logs to SIEM, I also dump all logs into a file and I rotate that file weekly, keeping 4 weeks worth of logs on the collector; this very clean setup is taken from the documentation and I like it - it works well (see Log rotate in documentation, example 103). Problem is: This consumes much disk, so I'll need to compress the rotated file. Can I add compression to that output to compress the rotate-copy? I'd prefer not using the example 113 in said log-rotation documentation page.

I'm fairly new to this, but wanted to get some pointers. I've been provided with a syslog.conf file, and am trying to determine what events are being logged. Can someone please let me know what I should be looking for? Alternatively if the syslog.conf file doesn't contain this info, where can I find what events are being logged? On the other hand, is there a standard list of event types that are automatically logged?

Hi, I am new to NXLog and I am setting up relay log servers in IP ranges to collect and forward log events from hosts (different OS) with dynamically assigend IP addresses. While doing so, I figured out that the forwarded log events missing important details about the orginating systems and I like to enrich the log events while receiving (accepting ) them with the following details: hostname as SOURCE_HOSTNAME ipv4 address as SOURCE_HOSTIP How is the best practice to do so? Rgds, Thorsten

hi who i can get iis web server logs and then send them to ossim log server?

Hello Guys, Im currently trialing nxlog enterprise version and specifically interested in agentless version of it. While working on it i have come across a blockade which seems to not forward logs from windows server machine to linux windows event collector(nxlog enterprise version is running).

Hi team, I'm sure this should be easy, but I'm not having much luck finding the answer elsewhere, can any of you help me? So I have (McAfee Firewall) log entries that look like this: Time: 10/23/2020 08:09:36 AM Event: Traffic IP Address: 172.19.0.113 Description: SNMP SERVICE Path: C:\Windows\System32\snmp.exe Message: Allowed Incoming UDP - Source 172.19.0.113 : (52676) Destination 172.23.25.135 : snmp (161) Matched Rule: Adaptive Rule - snmp.exe I've got this being parsed as a multiline log entry with the following: <Extension 5f917c0781064d07c2e8486a-multiline> Module xm_multiline HeaderLine /^Time:.*/ EndLine /^Matched Rule:.*/ <Input 5f917c0781064d07c2e8486a> Module im_file File 'C:\ProgramData\McAfee\Endpoint Security\Logs\FirewallEventMonitor.log' PollInterval 1 SavePos True ReadFromLast True Recursive True RenameCheck False Exec $FileName = file_name(); # Send file name with each message InputType 5f917c0781064d07c2e8486a-multiline So far so good - I get a multiline message come through, but I'd now like to parse it. So my first step is to split out the individual lines - ideally in the above eample I'd split the above message into 7 fields: 'Time' -> '10/23/2020 08:09:36 AM' 'Event' -> 'Traffic' 'IP Address' -> 172.19.0.113 ...etc So I'm guessing there's an Exec section required and some regex work, but I've not managed to get anything to work yet - has anyone else done anything similar here? thanks in advance, Jim

Hope someone can provide some pointers. I have an application that uses mySQL database and it is installed on Windows Server 2019. I just downloaded NXLog CE on the same Windows Server 2019. I am new to this but the goal is to extract a table from mySQL and output it as JSON format so that I can ingest it to another platform. Appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction to make this work. Thanks !
