Please follow the steps below to configure NXLog for your Windows Host:
  1. On your Windows host, download and install the latest version of NXLog from their website: https://nxlog.co/downloads/nxlog-ce#nxlog-community-edition.
  2. On the download page select the platform (here windows) and select the "nxlog-ce-*.*.****.msi" file (as shown in the screenshot). Then press download. 
  3. Once the file is downloaded, install NXLog on the host.
  4. Make a backup copy of the original file and give it another name. Depending on the version, this file can be C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf (32-bit) or C:\Program Files\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf (64-bit).
  5. Once done, replace the existing nxlog.conf file present in C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf (32-bit) or C:\Program Files\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf (64-bit), with the USM config file provided.
  6. Open Windows Services and restart the NXLog service.
