Log Collection Solutions

The NXLog Community Edition is an open source log collection tool available at no cost. It is available for various platforms including Windows and GNU/Linux. The NXLog Community Edition is used by thousands worldwide from small startup companies to large security enterprises and has over 70,000 downloads to date. Its flexibility allows it to be utilized in various setups and can be used both as a log collector agent and as a log server.

In addition to the features that our NXLog Community Edition users love such as the flexibility, low memory footprint and high performance, the NXLog Enterprise Edition contains dozens of enhancements and additional features which can be useful in enterprise deployments. These features are enhanced reliability, support for additional log sources such as CheckPoint LEA, NetFlow and SNMP events, agent management and monitoring capabilities, remote Windows EventLog collection, ODBC input and output modules to read/write data into databases (e.g. Microsoft SQL Server) and many more.

Managing and monitoring a large number of log collector agents can be tough, especially if you have a lot of servers in different roles with multiple teams in charge. NXLog Manager can remotely manage and monitor NXLog Enterprise Edition instances using a centralized web based management console.

We offer a number of add-on products to collect logs from various solutions and services such as Salesforce, Box, Okta, Microsoft Exchange, and Microsoft Azure and Office365.

NXLog in 'Securing a Windows Network' thread

The Securing a Windows network thread, has some great advice for Windows sysadmins. Including this note by a user: "Setup graylog or some other log consolidation tool and use nxlog on everything to start a logging repository." We have extensive documentation and a number of features for securely setting up log collection on your Windows systems, applications and tools as well as integrations with numerous third party suites including Graylog and Elasticsearch/Kibana.

From a user on sending log files to Graylog: "I do like a good bit of NXLog, the community edition covers most of the features you need and they have some brilliant guides on how to get DNS and DHCP logs out of Windows (along with all other kinds of logs). Worth looking at the sysmon agent for Windows as well to get some really high quality logs out." See our Graylog integration guide here.

What Users Say

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...

I found NXlog and I'm very excited about it. I installed it for some first test purposes on a Windows 2003 and a Windows 2008 R2 Machine. It works fine and does its job...

I'm very new to this, but deeply impressed, what nxlog-ce is capable of...

Small and efficient and gets the job done.

Your open source solution looks like just the solution that we need. nxlog looks very promising and has a natural syntax.

I went in search of a logging tool that could solve at least some of these issues... After looking around for some time, I stumbled across nxlog. Nxlog seems to support just about every log format on the planet, and will run on Windows and *nix servers. Its easy to setup, and just seems to work. The configuration is logical.

I wanted to pop in and say how impressed I am with nxlog. I really like the architecture and philosophy on how it is compartmentalized and tries to maintain structured data throughout the transaction. That makes perfect sense.

Special thanks to the development team that brought us this exceptional piece of software.

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

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...
