Windows event filtering not working? Or something else
DamnPeggy created
Hello, I have recently been trying up a syslog-ng server for various devices and have tried a couple of things for sending Windows Events to the server.
Finally decieded that NXLog will do what I need and I have gotten sent some events over without much configuration, but when trying filter within the .conf file, it always fails.
I can't really find much good information as to why it might be failing, as it seems that it should be correct.(to me anyway)
# Windows Event Log,
<Input s_eventlog>
Module im_msvistalog
Exec if $EventID == 4734 or $EventID == 4624 drop();
Exec $Message = to_json();
</Input>
I have narrowed it down to this block, since the log says
nxlog failed to start: </Input> without matching <Input> section at C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf:43
Which is where this block ends?
I can't really make sense of this, so if anyone has some guidance please tell me.
