Multiple Nxlog.exe Process (WIN)
squidie created
Hello, we’re looking at using multiple instances of nxlog.exe on the same Windows machine. What is the supported method for this please?
If I create a new process we receive the ERROR Service is already running log entry.
Thanks

I am a bit confused by the documentation on nxlogce. Below is my sample config. It collects some of the logs just fine but does not collect the logs that I want. Security comes through just fine, application not so much, and system is spotty. I would like to explictyly define Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational. If that is not possible I would like to get the forwarded logs from a logcollector and index them. I have tried the documented query statements
Query <QueryList>\
<Query Id="0">\
# <Select Path="Security">*</Select>\
<Select Path="System">*</Select>\
<Select Path="Application">*</Select>\
<Select Path="Setup">*</Select>\
<Select Path='Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational'>*</Select>\
</Query>\
</QueryList>
and this does not seem to work. If I just leave the sataement as below I do get some messages back but not all, Do I need to buffer my messages to get everything flowing through?
## This is a sample configuration file. See the nxlog reference manual about the
## configuration options. It should be installed locally and is also available
## online at http://nxlog.org/nxlog-docs/en/nxlog-reference-manual.html
## Please set the ROOT to the folder your nxlog was installed into,
## otherwise it will not start.
#define ROOT C:\Program Files\nxlog
define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog
Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
CacheDir %ROOT%\data
Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
SpoolDir %ROOT%\data
LogFile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.log
<Extension gelf>
Module xm_gelf
</Extension>
<Input Eventlog>
# Use 'im_mseventlog' for Windows XP and 2003
Module im_msvistalog
</Input>
<Output outevt>
Module om_tcp
Host myhost.mycomany.local

Well...
NXlog (last vrsion from this site) installed on windows server 2012R2
Configured to get win-logs:
SavePos TRUE
Module im_msvistalog
Query <QueryList> \
<Query Id="0" Path="Security"> \
<Select Path="Application">*</Select> \
<Select Path="Security">*</Select> \
<Select Path="System">*</Select> \
<Suppress Path="Security">*[System[(EventID=5156 or EventID=4663 or EventID=5158 or EventID=5440 or EventID=5444)]]</Suppress> \
<Suppress Path="System">*[System[(EventID=5156 or EventID=4663 or EventID=5158 or EventID=5440 or EventID=5444)]]</Suppress> \
</Query> \
</QueryList>
As a result I see events only from System and Application... Nothing from Security
Any Idea why it can happen?
Logs are captured by windows - I can see it with eventvwr.msc, but nothing with Nxlog
NXlog have no information, looks like everything is ok:
...INFO nxlog-ce-2.8.1248 started... - no errors, no warnings... nothing else
