wazuh-logcollector

The wazuh-logcollector program monitors configured files and commands for new log messages.

wazuh-logcollector is now multi-threaded, achieving an improvement in overall performance. Each of the threads will read the first log that is not already handled by other threads and when it finishes reading, it will try to read the next available log (file or command) so that all the threads are always occupied.

In addition, the interlocking problem that existed in the one-threaded version when it took a long time to read a log while the rest were left unattended, is avoided.

Warning

The advantages of the multithreaded logcollector are only available from version 3.6.0 and higher.
