Interesting discussion in a thread about open source SIEM at the Educause Security Discussion mailing list. Don't believe that 'nothing integrates' with your SIEM. Log collection agents such as ours can be integrated with your SIEM solution regardless if it is open source or not.

What Users Say

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.

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/

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

I set a lab environment up today with. A few ios syslogs, nix syslogs, and a 2008 nxlog sender. It(nxlog) fetched the events and sent it with no hassle. Pretty cool I must say...

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

This little piece of software is awesome, you rock!

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

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

I really do have to give you credit for the flexibility and coding style used in nxlog, it really is very very well done.
