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.

Interesting post by Logmatic aimed at Golang developers working with logging libraries. NXLog recommended as log collector for Windows, but you can also use NXLog to replace Rsyslog.

What Users Say

I'm new to NxLog but loving it so far for pumping messages into Loggly/Logstash etc.

This is an amazing product. Nxlog looks super-cool in so many ways.

Small and efficient and gets the job done.

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

nxlog is a GREAT application, and it has countless uses in my development test environment. Glad I ran across it!

While I have used both rsyslog and syslog-ng, I am now drawn towards nxlog as a more powerful tool. It does a lot natively in terms of log massaging and organization. Take a look at it when you have the chance.

Tired of Snare? Need more than what OSSEC can provide? Then check nxLog. It is a highly flexible event forwarder for both Windows and Linux. https://www.alienvault.com/forums/discussion/1800/nxlog-for-collecting-windows-logs

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/

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...

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