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.

NXLog Chatter

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.

Logging infrastructures mainly focus on SIEM analytics and correlations while log collection, log enrichment and log shipping end up taking a back seat. This uneven focus may result in unstructured or decentralized logging which can hinder information security, business continuity and regulatory compliance efforts. We offer a solution to the most pressing challenges organizations face when it comes to central log collection and SIEM optimization. Download our eBook today.

What Users Say

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 :-)

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

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

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.

I really like nxlog and am gonna start using it on other projects we have. Thank you for this great product!

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.

Awesome! everything is working as expected, thank you for the great support and product!

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/

This is an extremely slick and configurable tool...

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