Hi,
Microsoft has deployed the new Sysmon program (sysinternals) which
would make Windows syslogging useful for a central Linux based
syslog solution. Unfortunately syslog forwarder like nxlog do not
forward the interesting data to the syslog server. It generates via
default
<Input in>
Module im_msvistalog
#Exec convert_fields("windows-1252", "utf-8");
Exec parse_syslog_bsd();
</Input>
<Output out>
Module om_udp
Host 192.168.1.57
Port 514
</Output>
more & less spam because messages like “process created” or “File
creation time change” without any further info are useless. With
the module xm_xml
Exec log_info("Other fields are: " + to_xml());
I can get the full parameter set in XML format. Unfortunately I've
found no usefull hint in the nxlog documentation how to extract
data fields like
- TargetFilename
- Image
- CommandLine
- ParentCommandLine
$raw_event and $Message do not contain this data.
NXLOG Community Edition Reference Manual for v2.8.1248:
"In addition to the standard set of fields which are listed under
the System section, event providers can define their own additional
schema which enables logging additional data under the EventData
section. ... nxlog can extract this data when fields are logged
using this schema. The values will be available in the fields of
the internal nxlog log structure."
What is the "internal nxlog log structure" and how to work with it?
I#ve found no further hints :(
"These fields can be used in filtering rules, writing them into SQL
tables or to trigger actions."
I want this fileds in the syslog message and not in SQL tables or
triggering any actions. In some examples in NXLOG Community Edition
Reference Manual there are examples with the function
to_syslog_bsd()
I got if I use it 1:1 from the example the error message: "does not
exist or takes different arguments"
The syslog module is present
<Extension syslog>
Module xm_syslog
</Extension>
Thats why I do not understand the error message.
Can someone of you help me with this? I would guess a lot of people
would be interested on such a solution. Is there an easy solution?
Frank
