How would I change the syslog event message on an output module so that every message gets an additional field?  I want to add another value called "Project X" after the message portion of all syslogs events/messages as they are forwarded to another server?  Would I use $raw_event as I show in my example?  Current config: <Output out>    Module om_udp    Host 192.168.1.10    Port 514 </Output>   Would I do this? <Output out>    Module om_udp    Host 192.168.1.10    Port 514    Exec $raw_event = $raw_event + "Project X"; </Output>   OR is it more like this...? <Output Out>    Module om_udp    Host 192.168.1.10    Port 514    $Message = $Message + "Project X"    Exec to_syslog_bsd(); </Output out>      

I am sending data to Elasticsearch via port 9200 and I am also using security for Elasticsearch. Any access to the rest API requiries authentication. Is there a way to configure the om_http output to provide headers to authenticate when sending data to Elasticsearch? Thank you

What this error means that leads some output modules to stop sending logs without crashing?   ASSERTION FAILED at line 21 in writerfuncs.c/nx_module_output_fill_buffer(): "output->buflen == 0" 

HI all, I am trying to transfer Windows eventlog (Securty, Application and System) from a server A to a server B. It is almost working if I send all the events of server A in a flat file on server B. But my goal is a little bit different : I need to have the serverA-Events loggued in the eventviewer of the server B. Do yo know if it is possible to achieve this ? Thanks in advance !

There is a tone of infrastructure and application monitoring tools out there ( uberagent, vmturbo etc., powershell scirpts) to collect proccess details as their main task. Allthough some could be integrated with NXLog ( lets say by using im_exec, or xm_exec) they have limited  filtering and output  capabilities compared to NXLog. If NXLog could implement one day one let's say im_perfmon module to collect performance metrics then it could be easily transformed to a top application to this category.

Has anyone succeed in sending .evt file content to graylog ? Actually, I found that:  - Using im_file module I can parse .evt file and send its content outside, but logs are bad formatted  - Using im_vistalog module I can't parse .evt files only the Windows Event log, but logs are well formatted Any advice someone ? Maybe it is possible to send the ouput of im_file to im_vistalog ? Thanks, -- Mathieu

Every now and then I get reports of logs not reporting. I investigate and 99.9% of the time, it is due to a loss of connectivity to the log server due to an nxlog crash. Typically, it is due to a faulting module, per Windows Event Viewer. OS - Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter NXLOG Version - How do I check?

Hello Team, I am sending MS SQL Server Error logs from NXLog to our TCP server for processing. I need to select File encoding to Unicode, I tried but it is goving error if I set encoding to Unicode/unicode. If I set encoding to utf-8/utf-16 it is adding dot(.) after every single character in a source log line. Any suggestions/help would be really appriciated. Thanks, Mahesh mahibabar@gmail.com +91-9923622938

NXLog Redis output module  sends data to a Redis server with the RPUSH command allowing only to change the Redis key ( = database). RPUSH inserts all the specified values at the tail of the list stored at key I suggest that the Redis command has to be implemented as a parameter and to support at least the LPUSH. LPUSH inserts all the specified values at the head of the list stored at key There are clients that support only retreiving data from the head. The most usual case is to send data to Redis with LPUSH and then have Logstash poll record from Redis with LPOP.   Thank you.

Hi all, I am new with NXLOG and I have a very basic question to ask you : is it possible to simply copy a file from server A (source file name : c:\osit\log\df_mon.log) to server B (target file name : c:\osit\log15\df_mon.log). I spent already hours on NXLOG config file but I was not able to make it worked because the instruction "File" seeems not to be compatible wit the "om_tcp" output modeule and Host/Port settings. Thanks a lot in advance, Sophie

Hi everyboy, I have a log rotation folder on catalina application with a filename based on date like that "catalina.2016-04-15.log". Catalina create a log file with the date of the day, only if he need to write log (not automatically a file per day). Some one has a exemple for configure NX log ?   Thanks in advance !    

I have the usual error "Unexpected data from server ..." using om_http to send Windows event logs through Nginx to Redis. The problem is that when randomly this error happens ( once every 5 days) the service unexpectently stops ! From the source code I can understand that NXLog receives a response which cannot map to a correnponding request. It has a response with an appropriate length but the corresponding request is null! Possibly is a bad logic implementation, or even a network problem that could cause request/response mismatch.I really don't know. But I also really can't understand why NxLog preferres to die instead of  just return from the function in case this happens and not execute the code following the condition that drives the service to crash at the end.

Would this be the correct placement to add the filter event ID string?  Should anything esle be commented out? #Windows Event Logging of Security,System and Application Logs   Module      im_mseventlog   Exec to_syslog_snare(); Exec if $EventID NOT IN (528, 529, 567, 592, 601, 602, 608, 612, 636, 7034, 7035, 7036, 7040, 4097, 64004, 2, 3005) drop(); </Input>      

When NXLog ships a Windows event, it appears to be changing the Windows original severity level, and replacing it with SeverityValue and Severity with different values.   What is the mapping of these values?  If Windows has severity values, with "Level" being 4 for Information, 3 for Warning, 2 for Error and 1 for Critical, what is the nxlog created SeverityValue?   Also, I couldn't find an explaination of why this value is changing.  

Hi, We are testing NXlog to ship the security logs to our security team.  We are using XP embedded and it working fine.  Security is asking us to only send specific event ID's.  I have looked at the documentation and it appears that we may not be able to do this with XP.  I was going to do the custom view but XP does not support that. We are supported on the embedded version of XP. My question.  Has anyone tried to do this with XP or is it even possible? Thanks, David Martin  

Hi,  I am doing a rule which detects me are making multiple responses of ICMP from the same IP in which there are diferent IPs.   The problem that i have is that don't write in the output with raw_event and file_write.
