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 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.

NXLog Chatter

Assuming your environments have been configured to log this stuff...nxlog will automatically forward all of these windows events to your SIEM for you in real time...you don't need a script to make this happen.

In his article titled Security Information & Event Management Design: Why log filtering is essential for windows domain log sources? Paul Dutot from Defence Logic raises some valid points about agent side filtering which we have been advocating for some time now. Well worth the read!

What Users Say

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.

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

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/

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.

I'm glad I discovered nxlog. I almost came to the conclusion that only the Splunk Universal Forwarder could do what I needed to do. Glad I performed that one last Google search which discovered nxlog...

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.

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 :)

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

This is an extremely slick and configurable tool...

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.
