What kind of problem are you having? Your posted configuration is a working one. I assume you've already installed nxlog, modified the configuration file, and restarted the service?

Ya i did all that but i see nothing on the dashboard from that IP i only see the linux servers.

A few things come to mind.

1. The 'date' is being improperly set on your Windows Server logs. Try expanding your search to 'this month' and see if your Windows host shows up: 2. The Windows Server isn't sending events at all. Please verify that the Windows Server is sending data by doing a tcpdump on your Nagios Log Server.

From the Nagios Log Server CLI: where 192.168.XXX.XXX is your Windows Server IP address.

Any errors in the nxlog.log file on the Windows machine? It would be under C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\data or the equivalent path on your system.

What about on the Logserver machine? Anything under /var/log/logstash/logstash.log pertaining to a failed parse?

i just tried it on a another windows server same issue.
both are C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf

om C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\data/nxlog i see

also i am getting no config file found : /usr/local/nagioslogserver/logstash/etc/conf.d, can you make sure to validate logstashs configurations

This could be a problem. Please run the following command on your Nagios Log Server: Do your configurations show up properly?
