I really like nxlog and am gonna start using it on other projects we have. Thank you for this great product!

Considering replacing rsyslog with nxlog just because I can read the config...

Its the ultimate tool so far to get android logs into logstash/splunk/and other futuristic log mgmt tools.

First of all, I checked out a bunch of centralized logging systems before finding nxlog, and it is refreshing in its simplicity and conciseness. I really appreciate the small and tight C code.

Loggly.com: nxlog is a great choice for Windows systems. A sample nxlog configuration is available in our Knowledge Base.

On Linux systems, there are many options for converting arbitrary logfiles into syslog. For Microsoft Windows, there are reasonable free options for converting Eventlogs to Syslog, such as SNARE. There are excellent, but expensive tools like Splunk for parsing any sort of data you like. But I really struggled to find anything that could run on Microsoft Windows, convert a custom logfile to syslog, and send it to two destinations simultaneously. After much fruitless searching, and more than a few dead-ends, I found the answer: nxlog. http://lkhill.com/nxlog-convert-to-syslog/

If Snare’s your butter knife, nxlog is your Swiss Army Knife. With multi-platform support and a gigantor feature list, nxlog is likely to be your next step when you run into some of the limitations of Snare and other simple forwarders. Capturing data from more locations than event logs? Check! Secure transport? Of course! Without question there’s more of a learning curve, but for most organizations serious about log collection on windows (and other platforms!), it’s well worth the time investment. https://opsbot.com/windows-first-class-centralized-logging-citizen/

In researching how to get nxlog up and running, I found the configuration syntax easy to use and really flexible. Thank you very much for the excellent program NXLOG.

Awesome! everything is working as expected, thank you for the great support and product!

So overall, NxLog is amazing. It allows you to take the load off of your central syslog cluster and distribute it across all of your endpoints that are generating logs. This also decreases the amount and size of events coming into your cluster from the start so you are only getting exactly the items that you need.
