Can't read the log file (im_file) | Log collection solutions

#1 super17 8 years ago

hey,

I have a problem reading the Apache access log file.

After I tried to do tcpdump I noticed that the file not read and not sent to the destination.

I gave full permissions to the file but the situation has not changed.

nxlog.conf structure :

<Input in1>
Module im_file
File "/data/srv/httpd/logs/access_log_web1"
SavePos TRUE
</Input>

<Output fileout1>
Module om_udp

Host 192.168.10.1

Port 630

</Output>

<Route 1>

Path in1 => fileout1

</Route>

* **There is no nxlog log file exist in /var/log/nxlog/

Thanks

You should enable logging to a file with the following and check if you see any errors there:

LogFile /var/log/nxlog/nxlog.log

Alternatively you can run it in the foreground with nxlog -f and it should print its messages to the console.
