Multiple Nxlog.exe Process (WIN)
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     Port        1338     OutputType  GELF </Output> <Route Eventlog>     Path        Eventlog => outevt </Route>

NXlog agent do not send events from Windows Security log
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
