Hi we wanted to send logs coming from SentinelOne to Google Chronicle using SSL/TLS NXlog. We are just using the Community Edition and based on the documentation SSL/TLS is supported for CE. But we are not sure if this is going to work or how to configure the “CAFile", “CertFile”, “CertKeyFile” thing for this to work or how do we install it? Is it free or paid? Please check the configuration we wanted to implement below. <Input ssl> Module im_ssl Host localhost Port 6514 CAFile %CERTDIR%/ca.pem CertFile %CERTDIR%/client-cert.pem CertKeyFile %CERTDIR%/client-key.pem KeyPass secret InputType Syslog_TLS Exec parse_syslog_ietf(); </Input>

Hello,i have the problem, that i need to save eventlogs from 32Bit Windows 10 machine to a central logging solution (Graylog 5.1). This works great with x64 Windows 10 systems, but i don‘t find a solution with nxlog and 32Bit systems. Are there any previous versions available with x86 support or do i need to look for an other product? Thanks in advance!

Hi all,I am currently using Nxlog CE v3.2.2329 in a Virtual Machine Windows 10 21H2 for sending logs to a Rsyslog server using Syslog RFC5424 version.For this configuration, i use im_msvistalog for input and om_tcp with Exec to_syslog_ietf(); command to send them to the rsyslog server.<Input Source_Eventlogs> Module im_msvistalog </Input> <Output Dest_LogServer> Module om_tcp Host 192.168.1.1 Port 514 Exec to_syslog_ietf(); </Output> <Route send> Path Source_Eventlogs => Dest_LogServer </Route>In the rsyslog server i receipt logs using a template who send logs to the right folder and then the right file log$template DynamicFile,"/var/log/rsyslog/%HOSTNAME%/%syslogseverity-text%.log" *.info -?DynamicFileWhen i receive the logs, they have some replacement caracters like #015 or #011.I tried to do the setup with this exec command at the input and at the output and it doesn't convert the logsExec $raw_event = replace($raw_event, "\t", " ");Kind regardsAdrien

We have the issue Nxlog Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly.Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?Does re-installation require a reboot?  

Hi, can you help with the problem of nxlog not sending loose txt files to graylog?My nxlog.conf snippet about sending loose txt files<Input zpliku>Module im_fileFile "D:\file.log"</Input><Route messages_to_udp>Path zpliku => out</Route I have output defined for Graylog as GELF and the other section sending eventlog works correctly. Only sending loose files doesn't work here

I need help to integrate my Windows Server with Nxlog Agent installed to forward events/logs to Google Chronicle. I read the documentation of NxLog of this integrations, but the topic that explains how to use nxlog to direct structure logs to chronicle, he talk to edit a XML file, but i dont know what file I need to edit.

Dear Team, Issue :I'm trying to use NXLog Community Edition to send logs to Kiwi Syslog. I'm using the TCP connection method. I noticed that when I disconnect the destination for some period of time, after turning it back up after some hours, I can still see the logs that were generated during the destination downtime. This is happening even without the buffer module.I'm wondering what the use of the buffer module in the TCP module is. Is it necessary to use the buffer module to ensure that all logs are sent to the destination, even if the destination is temporarily unavailable?2. From the below configuration file, if we use a memory and disk-based buffer, how will the logs be allocated? And if it creates a buffer logs.q file, what is the maximum size of each file? =========================Configuration:## Please set the ROOT to your nxlog installation directory#define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlogdefine ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlogModuledir %ROOT%\modulesCacheDir %ROOT%\dataPidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pidSpoolDir %ROOT%\dataLogFile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.log<Extension syslog> Module xm_syslog</Extension><Input generate_data>   Module      im_testgen   #Maxcount 100   Exec        to_syslog_bsd();</Input># Monitor Windows event logs#<Input eventlog>#  Module im_msvistalog#</Input><Processor buffer>  Module      pm_buffer   #10 MB buffer   MaxSize  10000   Type   Disk MEM   #warn at 5MB  WarnLimit   5000</Processor><Output logs_output>   Module  om_file   File    "C:\Users\test\output_logs.log"</Output><Output tcp> Module om_tcp Host 192.168.x.x Port 1514</Output><Route 1> Path generate_data => buffer => logs_output => tcp</Route> (for testing I'm using test gen module)provide environment descriptionwindows 10 IOT EnterpriseVersionNxlog community latest version

We have the following filter applied to our ms_vistalog_filtered.conf, which is working:  Exec if $EventID NOT IN (%MonitoredEventIds%) drop(); <Exec> $Hostname = hostname_fqdn(); to_json(); </Exec> If I attempt to add anything to this filter, logs stop coming in entirely.  I have tried using a single block, multiple exec commands, and multiple exec blocks.  I ultimately I need to filter out EventID 4663 for some of our noisy applications.  My single block filter looks like this: <Exec> if ($EventID NOT IN (%MonitoredEventIds%) or (($EventID == 4663) and ($raw_event =~ /c:\\\\program\sfiles\\\\java\\\\jre1\.8\.0_92\\\\bin\\\\java\.exe/i or $raw_event =~ /c:\\\\programdata\\\\oracle\\\\java\\\\javapath_target_185880968\\\\java\.exe/i or $raw_event =~ /c:\\\\program\sfiles\\\\java\\\\jdk1\.8\.0_92\\\\bin\\\\java\.exe/i or $raw_event =~ /d:\\\\java\\\\jdk1\.8\.0_181\\\\jre\\\\bin\\\\java\.exe/i or $raw_event =~ /c:\\\\program\sfiles\\\\git\\\\mingw64\\\\bin\\\\git\.exe/i or $raw_event =~ /c:\\\\programdata\\\\oracle\\\\java\\\\javapath_target_1471633062\\\\java\.exe/i or $raw_event =~ /c:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\netstat\.exe/i)) ) drop(); $Hostname = hostname_fqdn(); to_json(); </Exec>I have also tried something as simple as: Exec if $EventID NOT IN (%MonitoredEventIds%) drop(); Exec if $raw_event =~ /c:\\windows\\system32\\netstat.exe/i drop(); <Exec> $Hostname = hostname_fqdn(); to_json(); </Exec> There are many other iterations, but these I think illustrate the simplest filters we've tried.  Any change to the filter and restart of nxlog service results in all logs being dropped. not just eid 4663.  Is there something wrong in my syntax or some other issue I am missing? 

Hi!I would like to have some help with my NXLog confiugration. I dont get any errors or so but in the SIEM I don't receive any logs at all from the source. So I'm guessing that there Is some issues reading logs from the .csv file. Or It could be something else. So my purpose with this Is to ship logs in a local .csv file to a SIEM. My thought was that NXLog should be a great solutions with this due to all extensions and so on. My NXLog configuration file Is based on these modules,xm_csvxm_syslogxm_jsonim_file (pointing out the local .csv file)out_ssl (for shipping logs through tls encryption)Been following along with this guide, Delimiter-Separated Values (xm_csv) | NXLog DocsHas anyone done this before? Thanks

Hi,Can check if the current NXLog Manager can support RHEL 8.8?And any roadmap to support RHEL9 in future? ThanksRegards, Billy

I have a very small (Read - no budget) project that NXlog would be a perfect fit for. Parsing, reformatting, and moving logs from a third party app to our Splunk server. I have a config that is simple and would work perfectly - except I did not realize until today that the CE does not support HTTP headers. (I had been using the EE documentation apparently) I found this out via google search on this old thread:https://nxlog.co/community-forum/t/648-adding-custom-header-om-httpWhich was 4 years ago, and mentioned that HTTP header support is not in the CE yet. Are there any plans to add this? I seems like pretty basic HTTP functionality, even more so than HTTPS/SSL support (which must have been far more involved to implement). Without any idea on pricing at all on the EE (again, zero or close to it budget) and no “in between” edition, it seems like a shame that I cannot make this work with the CE.Any ideas? An alternate way to get logs into Splunk using the CE would also work for me. Any help greatly appreciated!

We have a Linux host we have installed nxlog-ce-3.2.2329_rhel7.x86_64.rpm with yum on. The install did not create the modules folder and it seems we have none of the required files. Is there a way that this all needs to be separately installed? Is it possible this nxlog-ce-3.2.2329_rhel7.x86_64.rpm package did not install fully?

hi,First of all I would like to know if NXLOG compatible with Windows server 2019. I have trouble with the performance of nxlog on windows 2019 while on 2012 everything is fine.The logs do not go up instantly even though the configuration is the same and there is no issue with the network.Does anyone knows what the issue might be?Thank you for your answers.
