What Users Say

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.

I wanted to pop in and say how impressed I am with nxlog. I really like the architecture and philosophy on how it is compartmentalized and tries to maintain structured data throughout the transaction. That makes perfect sense.

papertrailapp.com: To send log files and event logs from all Windows variants, we recommend nxlog.

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...

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/

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

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.

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.

Special thanks to the development team that brought us this exceptional piece of software.

Nxlog-ce is for me the best Windows logs parser, low memory footprint , low cpu.
