I think encoding the name in the record and decoding on the receiver is the
most elegant solution to your problem. It allows you to add as many clients as
you want without having to create new inputs. You can also use the
$MessageSourceAddress field to create an automatic directory structure.
On the receiver side: (this assumes you encode the filename into a field called
$SourceFile)
<Output file>
Module om_file
Exec if $SourceFile =~ /([^\/]*)$/
$_fileName = $1; \
$_filePath = "/path/to/log/files/" + "$MessageSourceAddress + "/" + $_fileName;
File $_filePath
CreateDir TRUE
</Output>
This should create a directory structure on the central storage server that
looks like:
/path/to/log/files
/10.0.0.1/Disk_1.log
/Disk_2.log
/10.0.0.2/Disk_b_1.log
/Disk_b_2.log
This is just an example. It doesn't do file rotation or anything fancy.
P.S. I wouldn't cut and paste my code. I am a horrible typist.

Subject: [nxlog-ce-users] formwarding multiple log files from many clients to a
single host
I have a a system with several client nodes that need to send files to a single
sever. I need to maintain the file name from each client and send each to the
server with the same name (the client file log names are unique).
The number of client log files is arbitrary and not none in advance, so I can
send each file over a separate port to the server to process back into a file.
I could encode the name into each record in the client side log and send them
all to the server on the same port and sort them out, but I'd like to avoid
this approach.
Any idea.
Example
Client 1 has:
Disk_1.log
Disk_2.log
...
Disk_9999.log
Client 2 has
Disk_b_1.log
Disk_b_2.log
....
Disk_b_500.log
I need to get these files to a common server with the same names.
Thanks
Larry
