Hi, you should not copy nxlog.conf files around. The sidecar is fully generating a configuration for nxlog and don't need any manual editing (thats the one in C:\Program Files (x86)\graylog\collector-sidecar\generated) every other config file is not used. >From the screenshot you can see that the registration request is failing. The sidecar tries to register itself on the Graylog server but something (maybe firewall, maybe listening address) is blocking the request. Make sure that the network connection is allowed and you will see the sidecar in the web interface.
