Nxlog maxing out CPU on server | Log collection solutions

#1 SocAnalyst 2 years ago

We suspected a loop due to auditevents and the only two that are activated are Registery and handle audits. So we went ahead and disabled those but it just went from 98% to around 90% so we just turned them back on. Patterndb is not changing anything to it either.

We have other VMs with the same set up and with Nxlog that are running smoothly.

Anyone has a possible solution for this issue?

Thank you

Hello, We have installed NXlog on a server (remote desktop VM) but it is maxing out the CPU usage along with Events service control manager. Before turning on Nxlog service, CPU is at 25%, after it is turned on CPU spikes up to 98% with just those two. We suspected a loop due to auditevents and the only two that are activated are Registery and handle audits. So we went ahead and disabled those but it just went from 98% to around 90% so we just turned them back on. Patterndb is not changing anything to it either. We have other VMs with the same set up and with Nxlog that are running smoothly. Anyone has a possible solution for this issue? Thank you

Hello,

Just to be clear - do you mean you're running NXLog with exactly the same configuration on exactly the same VMs? (of course, in case of VMs I mean their confs, resources, etc.).

Best regards,
