Log Management Solutions

The NXLog Community Edition is an open source log management 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 several enhancements which can be useful in enterprise deployments. These features are enhanced reliability, support for additional log sources such as CheckPoint LEA 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.

What Users Say

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

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.

Have already spent lots of time testing other opensource tools, but none suited so far, only nxlog has helped this far that too with less memory, CPU and IO :)

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...

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

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...

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.

This is an extremely slick and configurable tool...

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/
