Hi,
I'm trying to use nxlog to to extract three metrics from a .set file. My OS is Windows 10. I edited the .conf file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf" and it looks like this:
Panic Soft
#NoFreeOnExit TRUE
define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog
define CERTDIR %ROOT%\cert
define CONFDIR %ROOT%\conf
define LOGDIR %ROOT%\data
define LOGFILE %LOGDIR%\nxlog.log

Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
CacheDir %ROOT%\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir %ROOT%\data
<Extension json>
Module xm_json
</Extension>
<Extension sikora>
Module xm_set
Fields $Nominal, $PlusTol, $Oval # fields of interest (metrics)
FieldTypes string, string, string # type of variable
Delimiter ;

</Extension>
<Input sikora_logs>

<Exec>
if $raw_event =~ /^Macrosezione : (.+)/ # creazione variabile
{ #
create_var('macrosection'); #
set_var('macrosection', $1); #
drop(); #
}
sikora->parse_set();
delete($EventReceivedTime);
delete($SourceModuleName);
delete($SourceModuleType);
if $raw_event =~ /^Operatore /
{ # variable definition for the
if not defined get_var('start_time') # timestamp
{ #
log_debug("parsed_time: " + strptime($time, "%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S")); #
create_var('start_time'); #
set_var('start_time', strptime($time, "%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S"));
drop();
}
else
{
if get_var('start_time') != strptime($time,"%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S")
{
log_debug("old_time: " + get_var('start_time'));
log_debug("new_time: ", $time);
set_var('start_time', strptime($time,"%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S"));
drop();
}
}
}
$time = (integer(get_var('start_time')) / 1000000 + integer($time)) * 1000; # formula to convert timestamp in milliseconds
$pressure = integer($pressure);
$macrosection = get_var('macrosection');
$nominal = get_var('nominal');
$type = get_var('type');
to_json();
</Exec>
</Input>
<Output out>
Module om_file #
CreateDir TRUE #
File "C:\Users\50051145\Desktop\temp" + $fileName # output file
</Output>
<Route 1>
Path sikora_logs => out
</Route>
When I run the program I expect an output file in a folder on my desktop "C:\Users\50051145\Desktop\temp" but I get nothing. I checked the logs and I get this:
2019-09-10 18:20:34 ERROR Failed to load module from C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\modules\extension\xm_set.dll, The specified module could not be found. ;

It appers that xm_set.dll library is missing, "The specified module could not be found". I found out in "C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\modules\extension" that nxlog doesn't come with a .set library. How can I add this library ?
Thank you

Nxlog CE agent forwarding all Windows Events despite the query level filter
Olistra created
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to filter Windows events log with severity/level only from warning to critical, so from level 1 to 3.
Unfortunately, I tried several configurations, but the agent is still forwarding all the events. Like if there were no filters.
My specifications are, Nxlog CE Agent (version 2.10.2102) on a Windows 10 64 bits build 1803 with this conf :
Panic Soft
define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog
define CERTDIR %ROOT%\cert
define CONFDIR %ROOT%\conf
define LOGDIR %ROOT%\data
define LOGFILE %LOGDIR%\nxlog.log
LogFile %LOGFILE%
Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
CacheDir %ROOT%\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir %ROOT%\data
<Extension _syslog>
Module xm_syslog
</Extension>
<Input eventlog>
Module im_msvistalog
<QueryXML>
<QueryList>
<Query Id='0'>
<Select Path='Application'>*[System[(Level=1 or Level=2 or Level=3)]]</Select>
<Select Path='Security'>*[System[(Level=1)]]</Select>
<Select Path='Setup'>*[System[(Level=1 or Level=2 or Level=3)]]</Select>
<Select Path='System'>*[System[(Level=1 or Level=2 or Level=3)]]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>
</QueryXML>
</Input>
<Processor buffer>
Module pm_buffer
MaxSize 102400
Type disk
</Processor>
<Output out>
Module om_tcp
Host X.X.X.X
Port 514
Exec to_syslog_snare();
</Output>
<Route 1>
Path eventlog => buffer => out
</Route>
Am I missing something? Did something change recently in the syntax?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards :)

Won't install on Windows 10 / service doesn't get installed?
wingows10guy created
We've had some clients where we install & deploy the MSI via group policy -- using the latest version 2.9.1347.
On Windows 10 -- it looks like the install succeeds (all the nx log files exist in Program Files (x86), etc.) -- but the service never gets installed. We don't see the nx log service anywhere in services.msc -- and don't see any logs saying that its install failed.
We've now seen this on multiple Windows 10 machines. Has anyone else -- and is there a workaround?
