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.

What Users Say

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 :)

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.

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

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...

I'd like to express my gratitude to those responsible for giving us nxlog - it's an incredible tool that makes gluing together multiple and sometimes dissimilar solutions - a sysadmin's dream come true :-)

Nice work on nxlog, it's a great product!

Oh #nxlog, why did we not get to know each other sooner? Great to see such a well-designed logging tool.

We follow the market and in our world, nxlog is the hands-down best solution we see for our Windows users.

I find that your product is very powerful and is one of the best choice for the implementation of a distributed log system in a heterogeneous network where multiple OS (Unix/Linux and windows) should be supported.

On Linux systems, there are many options for converting arbitrary logfiles into syslog. For Microsoft Windows, there are reasonable free options for converting Eventlogs to Syslog, such as SNARE. There are excellent, but expensive tools like Splunk for parsing any sort of data you like. But I really struggled to find anything that could run on Microsoft Windows, convert a custom logfile to syslog, and send it to two destinations simultaneously. After much fruitless searching, and more than a few dead-ends, I found the answer: nxlog. http://lkhill.com/nxlog-convert-to-syslog/
