Dear Dan

> What did you set in the agent.conf file?

here is my /var/ossec/etc/shared/agent.conf:

<agent_config>
<localfile>
<log_format>apache</log_format>
<location>/var/log/nginx/error_log</location>
</localfile>
</agent_config>

> Did the agent.conf file get transferred from the server to the agents?

No, it didn't. I checked /var/ossec/etc/ossec-agent.conf, 
/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf (symlink to ossec-agent.conf) and 
/var/ossec/etc/shared/ossec.conf

agent.conf was not transferred but I tried to reatsrt it anyway.

Modification time of *.conf files on agents is not changed. And conf files 
actually doesn't contain:
<location>/var/log/nginx/error_log</location>
