XPath

What is XPath?

Description

XPath stands for XML Path Language and uses a "path-like" syntax to identify and navigate nodes in an XML document. You can also use XPath queries to test addressed nodes within a document to determine whether or not they match a specific pattern.

In the world of NXLog

Windows Event Log supports a subset of XPath 1.0. You can use XPath queries to subscribe to events matching specific criteria in Windows Event Viewer and with the QueryXML directive of NXLog’s im_msvistalog module.

Event Viewer offers the most practical way to write and test queries. For example, you can test an XPath query by filtering the current log or creating a custom view. You can copy XPath queries created by Event Viewer directly into an NXLog configuration.
