How to handle multiple IIS site on a single server

#1 Mr_M_Cox 4 years ago

Hi All,

Is there a better solution to capturing IIS logs across multiple sites on a single server than adding an input per site in nxlog.conf?

Thanks,

Matt.

You just need one input module in your collector's config file in order to receive logs from multiple source servers/devices. This is an example:

<Input ssl>
   Module im_ssl
   Host localhost
   Port 23456
   CAFile %CERTDIR%/ca.pem
   CertFile %CERTDIR%/client-cert.pem 
   CertKeyFile %CERTDIR%/client-key.pem
   KeyPass secret
   InputType Binary
</Input>

Then you can install nxlog in each IIS server and push logs using om_ssl in each one of them.

<Output ssl>
  Module om_ssl
  Host localhost
  Port 23456
  CAFile %CERTDIR%/ca.pem
  CertFile %CERTDIR%/client-cert.pem
  CertKeyFile %CERTDIR%/client-key.pem
  KeyPass secret
  AllowUntrusted TRUE
  OutputType Binary
</Output>
