What Users Say

This is an extremely slick and configurable tool...

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

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

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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