Using a domain user for om_file export | Log collection solutions

#1 MP_286983 3 years ago

Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this. I am using NXLog CE on Windows.

I want to use om_file to export a log file to a network share folder. This share only allows AD domain users to read/write to the network share folder. I found that when I try to do this I get permission denied. This is obviously because I haven't assigned a domain account for NXLog to use, and I assume NXLog uses a local system account. Is there a way I can make NXLog use Domain credentials when doing this file transfer? Or is there another output module I should use?

I am new to NXLog, apologies if this is a simple answer :)

Just figured it out myself. Leaving it here for other people to see.

Go to services -> Nxlog -> right click -> properties -> log on -> enter your custom credentials for NXlog to use.
