What Users Say

Faced with no budget and the reality of a heterogeneous environment I discovered that ONLY nxlog and Splunk will sensibly (i.e. structured) capture Windows logs while providing TCP, TLS and buffering. I settled on nxlog agents on the servers forwarding to an nxlog receiver...

NXLog - Such an awesome little free tool that will push windows events to your log aggregator in a variety of formats. Can even read in from files and push contents out. https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/8a9xzt/everyone_loves_to_bitch_about_printers_dns/dwx4em9/

nxlog is a lot leaner and does a great job pulling Windows Event Log data and forwarding it to Logstash using JSON or GELF. Its configuration syntax is also a lot more robust and full-featured than Logstash's, so you might find it easier to do complex things with your event logs before you forward them, like filtering out noisy logs before they ever get to the server.

I'm using nxlog-ce for a couple of weeks now, and I love it. Every day I'm finding out a new detail that impresses me, or an easier way to solve a problem I had before...

I'm glad I discovered nxlog. I almost came to the conclusion that only the Splunk Universal Forwarder could do what I needed to do. Glad I performed that one last Google search which discovered nxlog...

My goal was simple: to find a decent, reliable, easy to install and configure syslog server app. Windows support and rotation were critical. So far looks like nxlog is the answer and I already started recommending it to customers...

How did I not know about nxlog for shipping logs from host to..say elasticsearch, syslog, json,..everything?!

I definitely prefer the way you present configuration to that of rsyslog etc. I have suggested nxlog to some customers however as far better option to collectors from the likes of Arcsight...

I've been impressed with the capability/functionality, and .. I personally believe that we should "embrace" nxlog as the go-forward mechanism for feeding QRadar.

I find that your product is very powerful and is one of the best choice for the implementation of a distributed log system in a heterogeneous network where multiple OS (Unix/Linux and windows) should be supported.
