We are getting this error instead of the LOG files being shipped:

{"EventTime":"2020-03-10 22:32:01","Hostname":"ZZZZZZZZZZZ","SeverityValue":4,"Severity":"ERROR","SourceName":"nxlog-ce","ProcessID":5724,"ErrorCode":720005,"EventReceivedTime":"2020-03-10 22:32:01","SourceModuleName":"internal","SourceModuleType":"im_internal","message":"failed to open D:\\Test\\test_std\\WEB-INF\\logs\r\nAccess is denied. "}

SYSTEM has full rights to the folder, how ot make nxlog read the files?

In your config I believe you need to define the full path to the actual log file and not a directory.

This forum post seems to be similar to your issue.

How this could possibly work for logging?
- with files, created daily and having various extension naming conventions?

This really makes Nagios LOG useless

You can use wildcards in for the file name

See:

Ok, in the CCM Services look for this config name

Code: Select all

3ds-app40_53.40
edit the service /log Usage
You will find it has the following hostgroup attached

Code: Select all
