What Users Say

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...

nxlog is a lot leaner and does a great job pulling Windows Event Log data and forwarding it to Logstash using JSON or GELF. Its configuration syntax is also a lot more robust and full-featured than Logstash's, so you might find it easier to do complex things with your event logs before you forward them, like filtering out noisy logs before they ever get to the server.

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'm very new to this, but deeply impressed, what nxlog-ce is capable of...

Loggly.com: nxlog is a great choice for Windows systems. A sample nxlog configuration is available in our Knowledge Base.

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

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.

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

This is an extremely slick and configurable tool...

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.
