Nagios Support Forum

only shows up for the user that installed the application, nobody else?

is this intended or why does this occur? This is a default standard install via msiexec batch script doing what they told me and a default conf file.

any ideas? does the regular nxlog community edition do this too?

What exactly do you mean by "shows up"? In the Services list? In the start menu?

Strictly speaking, nxlog as a service/process should run under the system user every time.

Thanks @mcapra,

@googol, If you can be a bit clearer, like show us screenshots of what you mean that would help us!

talking about the actual program list in "Programs and features"

if I am the user that installed nxlog, it shows up for me.

If another admin logs in and looks at the program list, it does NOT show up, aka not listed.

I am not talking about services, it shows up there as well as the files being in the folder as well. Just doesnt show up in programs and features.

all I have is a batch script that does this

msiexec /i nxlog-ce-latest.msi /quiet

then copies a conf file from a share and starts up the service.

@googol,

This doesn't seem to be a Nagios related issue. Nxlog is not under Nagios.

It's up to Nxlog to decide how it's download/install process is implemented system-wide.
