I'm using nxlog-ce-2.11.2190.msi (Community Edition) on Windows 2016 to send Windows Logs to a syslog server.

If I put more than one Host to the <Output> section like

<Output to_splunk> Module om_tcp Host abc1.corp.net Host abc2.corp.net Host abc3.corp.net Port 514 Exec to_syslog_ietf(); </Output>

I get the following error when validating the configuration

C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\nxlog.exe" -v 2021-10-29 10:12:03 ERROR host is already defined at C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf:67

With just one Host defined, it works.

What is false? Is the featuren not supported by the Community Edition?

Regards, Martin

I have a im_file to om_tcp route on the community edition.
My applications starts generating logs at 5am and runs every 15 minutes.
I have observed that it essentially skips the first X lines and syncs things only after the x lines starting 5:15 and works fine throughout the day.
There is nothing in logs at 5am.
I have tried routing it to another om_file on the same machine, it works ok.

Can you please help me fix it?

Here is the config:
