Hi,
The reason why this fails is because you are assigning a value to a
field (i.e. $MyFileName = ...) inside the Schedule block where this is
invalid. Note that dollar sign represents a field of an event data and is
not a variable like it is in perl. The Schedule block is triggered by a
timer and not an event data, thus there is are no fields available in
this context.
Perhaps it was a mistake to use the dollar sign for fields since people
keep confusing it with variables.
See here for more:
http://nxlog.org/nxlog-docs/en/nxlog-reference-manual.html#troubleshooting_common_problems_missing_logdata
What you could do is avoid using fields:
<Schedule>
...
Exec log_info(file_name());
</Schedule>
Note that while the above syntactically correct this still may not work
since the module might close the input file by the time the timer
executes your statement.
On the other hand the following should work:
<Input f>
Module im_file
File ...
Exec $MyFileName = file_name();
</Input>

Botond
