Invalid Argument | Log collection solutions

#1 ntubergen 4 years ago

For some reason I realized NXlog wasn't sending logs to graylog (after previously doing so flawlessly)

I went to the Nxlog log and found this just before it stopped responding:

What does this mean? I can't find anything online, but I know the udp arguments work because restarting nxlog works fine.

2020-03-09 08:29:36 ERROR om_udp apr_socket_send failed; An invalid argument was supplied.

However, Graylog received a message 20ms later from that machine (the last message that was sent before nxlog went offline)

Any ideas?

Hi,

This error indicates that something on the receiving end is not working out right. Netstat, etc to see if the port is open on the host. tcpdump or wireshark to make sure the traffic is flowing properly. That should be a solid place to start.
