Good day Family I have a problem with nxlog on Linux, I am having difficulties pulling records from an oracle DB using the agent. Has anyone done it before? Please help

I have been looking for a way of aggregating disparate logs and according to the Web NXLog is what I need. I have installed NXLog Community Edition and that's it. It a running. I had hoped for some form of web interface and from that a way of collecting log files. But I cannot seem to find anything of such ilk. I suspect I am missing something obvious, which is normal as I am partially sighted and tend to miss the obvious. If anyone could please spare the time to start me going collecting and reading logs, I would be extremely grateful. Ubuntu 18.04 VM Many thanks and kind regards, jB

Hello: I have been working on setting up an intermediary SYSLOG Server to receive syslog events from various network devices as part of my Splunk deployment. Please NOTE: This a WINDOWS 2019 Server environment. I am a newbie to NXLog . I have been able to get a base configuration working to receive data on port 514. I can successfully write to a file but the only option that seems to work is to write to file using the source IP Address, but I want to write to a file using the source Hostname. I am using the Community Edition and do not have access to use xm_resolver. How can I receive syslog data and write that data to file using source HOSTNAME? I have been researching and trying now for close to a month with no success. Any information / guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Regards, --Diane Proscino

I would like to send IIS v8.5 logs over to a Linux syslog server. I have all parts installed, but need help with the nxlog agent configuration on the IIS server (Win2012 R2). My current configuration is attached. There are errors in the Win2012 nxlog agent's log file, and I am unable to fix them all, they are attached as well. I had to comment out parts like writing to a local file in order to get the agent running. I would like to have that work as well. It created the file but it's empty.

Hello, I have a WEC server receiving the logs form my network computers, in this server I have the NXLog community edition to forward this logs, but in the exabeam analytics does not see logs from the machines the login and log out, I feel that the nxlogs does not forward all events, Do I need to use other version of client or what else should I do to verify if is send the full log? Regards Ben

Hi, I'm trying to transfer two different csv files having different set of columns to a location. I'm trying to define them in one config file. I would like to know how we define the Extension module for this scenario since xm_csv is going to be the common one for the entire file. Is there any option to use more than one extension module with xm_csv specific to each file? Sample: Is this possible in one config file? Extension <Extension csv_parser> Module xm_csv Fields A,B,C,D Delimiter , </Extension> <Extension csv_parser> Module xm_csv Fields E,F,G Delimiter , </Extension>
