Hi
I am trying to install nxlog on XP machine but I couldn't troubleshoot the error. Following is the error I am seeing on XP machine:

2020-08-20 15:54:06 WARNING nxlog-ce received a termination request signal, exiting...

It seems there is a syntax error.
The word "Query" is in the wrong place.
Maybe you can paste here the involved module config.

    Hi,

    Is there any particular reason why you are using obsolete OS?
    I've checked your config on Win2019 server and it seems to work properly - at least there're no errors.

    Best,

    I would recommend you to stick to the following syntax regarding the query part.

    <Input eventlog>
    Module  im_msvistalog
    <QueryXML>
        <QueryList>
            <Query Id="0" Path="Application">
                <Select Path="Application">
                    *[System[(Level=1 or Level=2 or Level=3)]]</Select>
                <Select Path="System">
                    *[System[(Level=1 or Level=2 or Level=3)]]</Select>
                <Select Path="Microsoft-Office Server-Search/Operational">
                    *</Select>
                <Select Path="Microsoft-Office-EduServer Diagnostics">*</Select>
                <Select Path="Microsoft-SharePoint Products-Shared/Operational">
                    *</Select>
                <Select Path="Microsoft-SharePoint Products-Shared/Audit">*</Select>
            </Query>
        </QueryList>
    </QueryXML>
</Input>

    I have few applications that only runs on XP and I want to see logs generating from those. If it works on 2019, then what could possibly wrong in conf file? I was going through the documentations and found im_mseventlog support limited directives. Is that XP limitation?
