I'm trying to set up nxlog on a windows host and break out configuration files for specific applications. I followed the example in the documentation ( https://nxlog.co/documentation/nxlog-user-guide/ref-config.html#config_general_include ) but when I include a wildcard character, the nxlog service fails to start with the following error in the log file:
nxlog failed to start: Invalid 'include' directive at c:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf:19
Failed to open config file C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf\nxlog.d\*.conf
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
The nxlog.d sub-directory exists and I have an application-specific config file there. If I specify the filename explicitly, the nxlog service starts. I'd like to use the wildcard in the main nxlog.conf file so I can scale this to multiple servers with different apps.

Raf,
Thanks for pointing me at the CE documentation. Escaping the backslash characters worked and I'm able to use it as expected, thanks again!!
