NXLog is used in conjunction with AD Sensor to provide telemetry into the Arctic Wolf security triage pipeline. To update both applications:

1. Optional: Create a backup of your nxlog.conf file for reference, if you use NXLog for purposes other than AD Sensor.

   During the installation of NXLog, the existing nxlog.conf file is overwritten. After the AD Sensor update, you need to reapply any customized changes to the nxlog.conf file.

2. Uninstall NXLog.
3. Install NXLog.
4. Update AD Sensor.
5. Reapply any nxlog.conf customizations. You can use the backup of nxlog.conf as a reference.
   nxlog.conf is located in one of:

   • C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog\conf
   • C:\Program Files\nxlog\conf
6. Restart the NXLog service.
