Now scaling better with thousands of files

Version 1.4.803 has been released today.
The im_file module has been enhanced so that it deals better with thousands of files and consumes less CPU. It will automatically retry files which gave a read error earlier instead of stopping completely. The im_msvistalog module now pulls all application logs by default in addition to the system logs. There were several other enhancements and bug fixes, the changelog is available in the source tarball.

Support for multi-line messages

Version 1.4.729 has been released.
Nxlog could already handle multi-line messages using module variables. This release adds a new extension module (xm_multiline) which makes it easier to process log messages spanning more than one line. It can handle java exception traces, DICOM logs and other multi-line log messages with a lot simpler configuration.
