Hello I don't know way to compile my input module for Oracle - need some guidance for it. I guess autogen.sh (using autotools) is designated to generate makefiles etc and configure. I made Makefile.am based on im_dbi version: if HAVE_LIBOCI im_oci_LTLIBRARIES    = im_oci.la im_oci_la_SOURCES    = im_oci.c im_oci.h im_oci_la_CFLAGS    = -rdynamic -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -std=c99 im_oci_la_LDFLAGS    = -module -no-undefined -avoid-version -ldl im_oci_la_LIBADD    = $(LIBOCI) $(LIBNX) im_ocidir        = $(NX_MODULEDIR)/input endif When I call configure or autogen.sh it gives error: ./configure: line 21597: syntax error: unexpected end of file but last lines are:   21590: #echo ---------------------------------------------------------- 21591: #echo Shared: ${BUILD_SHARED_LIBS} 21592: #echo ---------------------------------------------------------- 21593: echo 21594: echo "${PACKAGE}-${NXLOG_VERSION_STRING} configured successfully" 21595: echo "type \`${MAKE-make}' and \`${MAKE-make} install'" 21596: echo 21597: echo 21598: I don't see error here. I just placed my module in modules/input folder Should I generate some files with autotools?

I am using om_tcp for forwarding Windows logs to a SIEM system. What will be the expected behavior of nxlog if e.g. a firewall blocks the TCP connections from the nxlog agent to the SIEM? Is there any potential danger in nxlog buffering outgoing logs so that large amounts of memory or disk space would be consumed on the sending host while the connections get blocked?

I got the error below, after a while that i begin to run the nxlog service. I use mysql database, tried postgresql as well and have the same error message. Has anyone idea how I can fix it? >>ERROR ### ASSERTION FAILED at line 205 in om_dbi.c/om_dbi_get_sql(): "len > j"

This can be seen in nxlog-ce-2.8.1248 distribution, syslog.c, line 1094 if ( (ptr[0] == 0xEF) && (ptr[0] == 0xBB) && (ptr[0] == 0xBF) ) should be if ( (ptr[0] == 0xEF) && (ptr[1] == 0xBB) && (ptr[2] == 0xBF) ) Please, fix this.

Is there any roadmap for natively including an output module to a message queue service such as Redis, 0mq etc? Alternatively how can I write out to a queue using om_http? Thanks    Ash

NxLog does not reconnect to the server once a connection is restored after a network disconnect event. Simple step to repro - Simply unplugging the ethernet cable from the back of the PC while nxlog is attempting to send data to loggly.  The error happens almost instantly after the cable is unplugged. Below is the error message 2015-05-11 13:49:56 ERROR couldn't connect to tcp socket on logs-01.loggly.com:443; 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.  BTW - I am using NxLog Community Edition. Is this a known issue? I dont expect such a simple feature to not work in a community edition. It should automatically reconnect

Hi, Is it possible to change NXlog Community Edition installation path on Windows platform ? (default installation path is :C:\Program Files\nxlog or  C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog ). I want to install it to C:\nxlog for example.   Thank you,      

Hi, I setup nxlog to process log file.   Each log file got rotated by application hourly.  The original log file will rename to the same file name postfixed by timestamp, and the log messages will continue written to the new log file with the same name. I found that some of the log messages logged at the last minute or two of an hour are processed more than one time by NXLOG.  Does anyone have any idea what went wrong?   regards, Jerry   Here is my nxlog conf: <Input in2>     Module      im_file     File        "/nfs/home/jerryc/domains/smp_demo/nodes/torvm-core14/log/samp-*_svr2*"     SavePos     TRUE     ReadFromLast TRUE  

Is there a citrix module that can import logs from citrix servers? I'd like to log the following: Authentication Apps launched User Activity Directories accessed   Thanks -G

How to use NXLog to store logs in Azure Table Storage? Is there a om_azure_table_storage module out there?

Hi, Please advise...Thanks! is it possible to have an nxlog.conf that references other nxlog.conf files.  For example,  If I have iis.conf msevent.conf log4net.conf could I have an nxlog.conf that imports them in a componentized or modular format nxlog.conf would look something like: import  iis.conf import msevent.conf import log4net.conf I am trying to handle many different roles for servers at a big company..  Some servers just have log4net logs we want,  other servers we just want iis logs from and others iis logs and msevent logs.. There are lots of combinations. I am looking for an easy way handle all the server roles....web server, app server, DB server etc.  Each server type is going have different sets of logs processed and sent.  Nxlog is awesome...keep up the great work.  Thanks! Best Regards, Daniel

Hello I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple instances of im_dbi at one time. It is important for access to my global variables. If it is possibe, then  my question is: does NXLog make nx_im_dbi_conf_t for each module instance? Where I should store variables for module if I want to have per load visibility?

Not sure it can be achieved but wanted to check as to what was the best way to use UNC names in the File path.  I want to stage files locally from a remote location, digest and then delete the files. I have tried "//FileServer/directory/file as well as "\\FileServer/directory/file" without success. Is it possible to use a variation of im_exec such as  <Input mapdrive>   Module  im_file command  net  arg           use arg           z: arg          "\\fileserver\directory"   ....etc?   Thanks    Ash  

I believe the latest version of the windows ce msi is not available to download. In the following forum post it was mentioned that version nxlog-ce-2.9.1362 is out: http://nxlog.org/support-tickets/nxlog-crashing-windows-2012r2   I can't find that version for download via http://nxlog.org/products/nxlog-community-edition/download ? Please advised.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to ship MS Event logs from nxlog to Logstash directly without writing to disk first.
