I have a Nxlog agent sending windows event with om\_tcp module to a Logstash without errors.  
Now I am trying to implement more secure forwarding with SSL, there was no issues with the Nxlog agent, just configured with the om\_ssl and restarted the service and nxlog agent got connection with the logstash at the other end.

Issues I have is with the Logstash because I can´t activate ssl\_enable in my config-file.  
Here´s what I wrote at the Input section:

input {  
tcp {  
codec =\> json\_lines { charset =\> CP1252 }  
port =\> "514"  
ssl\_enable =\> true  
ssl\_verify =\> false  
ssl\_cert =\> "/Elastic/logstash/cert/logstash-cert.cer"  
tags =\> ["tcpjson"]  
type =\> "nxlog"  
}  
}

And when I try to start the pipeline, it stop with these lines:

[2020-11-18T13:21:07,448][INFO][logstash.javapipeline][main] Pipeline terminated {"pipeline.id"=\>"main"}  
[2020-11-18T13:21:07,464][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:id=\>:main, :action\_type=\>LogStash::ConvergeResult::FailedAction, :message=\>"Could not execute action: PipelineAction::Reload, action\_result: false", :backtrace=\>nil}

Please help

Chris

Try enabling log.level debug and see if you get a more informative error message.
