Hi,
I'm setting up nxlog on a window box to read files to send to elasticsearch, and I have some questions:
1) is there a limit on the number of im_file inputs that a output (om_tcp) can handle? And is nxlog reading those monitored files concurrently or in serial one after each other?
2) we can setup multiple paths in nxlog, different path means parallel processing, e.g. each path is handled by different threads??
3) can we install mutiple nxlog services in one box?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for replying.
"It should be able to handle a couple thousand but checking through a large number of files uses more resources so it is always a good idea to move the files out of the way" Unfortunately the log files I'm dealing with is from a third party software which cannot be changed. The log folder contains over 500 files/folders, is this considered a lot? And if the im_file is set to e.g. 'E:\applicationlogs\[A-Z]*.log.*', does nxlog search through the subfolders in E:\applicationlogs?
