client nxlog file is not getting create on nxlog server

524 views Asked by At

I have a windows nxlog client and ubuntu nxlog server.

however my windows nxlog client logs is not getting poppulated on nxlog server.

On checking the wire via tshark, I does see my client is sending logs on nxlog server however they are not getting populated in a file.

Relevant part of nxlog server configuration file shown below.

## This is a sample configuration file. See the nxlog reference manual about   the
## configuration options. It should be installed locally under
## /usr/share/doc/nxlog-ce/ and is also available online at
## http://nxlog.org/nxlog-docs/en/nxlog-reference-manual.html

When I check the the messagae on server from tshark I does get input from source .i.e. 172.16.130.67

apturing on 'eth1'

however the log file is not getting created in /var/log/nxlog/

I have restarted rsyslog and nxlog service.

what could else be done here to troubleshoot.
