NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Enter your internal repository url

(this should look similar to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2)

4. Choose your deployment method:


choco upgrade nxlog -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade nxlog -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

nxlog is a modular, multi-threaded, high-performance log management solution with multi-platform support. In concept it is similar to syslog-ng or rsyslog but is not limited to unix/syslog only. It can collect logs from files in various formats, receive logs from the network remotely over UDP, TCP or TLS/SSL . It supports platform specific sources such as the Windows Eventlog, Linux kernel logs, Android logs, local syslog etc. Writing and reading logs to/from databases is also supported.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

  • Added a workaround for an APR bug where the memory pool allocated by the APR pollset could grow too large under heavy load under linux/epoll.
  • om_http will now attempt to reconnect on all errors.
  • Add locking to the dbi modules as a workaround for the mysql_init race condition issue.
  • The dbi modules can now use the new reeantrant API if libdbi provides it.
  • Fixed a memory leak caused by convert_fields("AUTO").
  • The JSON parser can automatically detect datetime values - no need to call parsedate().
  • Field limit in CSV parser was raised to 200.
  • xm_gelf handles ShortMessage as is without doing any truncation if it exists.
  • Fixed a leak in xm_fileop's file_remove() and another in the regexp replacement operator when using /g.

  • Fixed an issue in im_file getting into a loop with CloseWhenIdle enabled.
  • IETF Syslog parser properly skips UTF BOM header.
  • The set_request_path() procedure in om_http was leaking memory.
  • Deleted files could cause an excessive logging of "input file was deleted" in im_file.

  • <Exec> can be used as a block to avoid line continuation breaks ''.
  • The IN operator has been implemented.
  • Fixed an issue related to the csv parser creating undefined values that could lead to a crash in some cases.
  • The string() function was leaking memory.
  • Some large eventlog entries caused a crash or hang with im_msvistalog.
  • Updated openssl libraries on windows to 1.0.2a to support TLSv1.2.
