Hi Botond,
First of all, thanks for your inputs.
I could not understand the client side.
Which file has the events? Don't I tell it a File directive?
Actually what I need is read (on client side) text log files with log
messages (auth.log, syslog, etc) and send them to a server through TCP.
When these messages arrive on receiver side, create flat files with the
same messages, and if possible with same file names (auth.log, syslog,
etc). Afterward I'll examine (with other programs than nxlog) the files on
the receiver machine.
Thanks
Ricardo
