What Users Say

I went in search of a logging tool that could solve at least some of these issues... After looking around for some time, I stumbled across nxlog. Nxlog seems to support just about every log format on the planet, and will run on Windows and *nix servers. Its easy to setup, and just seems to work. The configuration is logical.

Small and efficient and gets the job done.

Your open source solution looks like just the solution that we need. nxlog looks very promising and has a natural syntax.

How did I not know about nxlog for shipping logs from host to..say elasticsearch, syslog, json,..everything?!

My goal was simple: to find a decent, reliable, easy to install and configure syslog server app. Windows support and rotation were critical. So far looks like nxlog is the answer and I already started recommending it to customers...

I've been impressed with the capability/functionality, and .. I personally believe that we should "embrace" nxlog as the go-forward mechanism for feeding QRadar.

This is an extremely slick and configurable tool...

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

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

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/
