Issues with the nxlog agent when installed on Citrix MCS VDI machines.
gijosgun created
Hellow everyone!
I have a scenario that uses Citrix MCS where I installed the agent on the master image that provides clone images that should go with the nxlog agent installed and running. But the agent goes up with some errors as below:
2022-09-23 13:51:38 ERROR couldn't connect to udp socket on <IP:XYZ:514>; The socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network.
2022-09-23 13:51:46 WARNING Due to the limitation in the Windows EventLog subsystem, the query cannot contain more than 256 sources.

Has anyone had a problem like this using Citrix MCS?
Thanks

manuel created
Hi,
I installed recently the last version of NXLOG-CE (3.0.2284) on my windows server 2016 Standard.
I noticed that the configcache is not functionnal in my case because of an erreor when nxlog service stop => "System Error 109 has occurred. The pipe has ended"
My configcache.dat file is not updated and when I restart the service, a lot of old logs are sended to my logstash
Here's my nxlog conf file

How to write windows events to a new file every 1 min
gtarone created
Hi All,
I want to write windows events to a new file every 1 min.
As of now, I have the following Output block in my conf which works. It is given below,
<Output file>
Module om_file
File "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\nxlog\\data\\nxlog-output.json"
<Schedule>
Every 1 min
Exec rotate_to(file_name() + strftime(now(), '_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S'));
</Schedule>
</Output>
But in this case, I always write to the same file i.e "C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\data\nxlog-output.json" and after 1 min, the data is saved in other file with naming convention mentioned above.
I want to create a new file every 1 min with above naming convention and then write to that file instead of writing to the same file.
**How can I do this? Admins please guide. **
