Kiwi vs. NXLog Platform at a glance
Replace Kiwi Syslog Server with NXLog Platform
Why teams choose NXLog Platform
Integrates with your stack (including Loggly)
NXLog is vendor‑agnostic and works with any SIEM/observability platform. SolarWinds’ own guides use NXLog to send Windows events to Loggly.
Windows done right (no extra forwarder)
Kiwi deployments typically rely on a separate Event Log Forwarder to ship Windows events. NXLog handles Windows event collection natively within the same agent, preserving rich fields without requiring additional specialized tools.
Enterprise‑grade resilience & security
Built‑in failover, load balancing, buffering, and TLS/SSL end‑to‑end encryption.
More than syslog
Kiwi focuses on syslog + SNMP traps + Windows Event Logs. NXLog collects from virtually any system and format (logs, metrics, traces) across Windows, Linux, macOS, BSD, AIX, Solaris, then normalizes and routes anywhere.
Scale without surprises
Cross‑platform agent + pipeline, fleet management, and up to 100,000 agents per node with role‑based access control and auditability.

What you get with NXLog Platform
One agent, every OS
One cross‑platform agent (Windows, Linux, macOS, BSD, AIX, Solaris; x86/x64/ARM/PowerPC) for endpoint & network collection, processing, and routing.
Bidirectional syslog engine
Pipeline engine for parsing (JSON, CSV, XML, key‑value, raw), enrichment, filtering, and bidirectional syslog generation/ingestion (RFC 3164/5424/5425).
Analytics without the add-ons
Built‑in storage & analytics for high‑compression retention, fast search, and dashboards. Use alongside or without a third‑party SIEM/APM.
Security & compliance
TLS/SSL in transit, RBAC, tamper‑proof audit logs, FIM, PII protection.
SNMP v3, no extras
SNMP v1/v2c/v3 with USM (auth + encryption) and structured trap parsing — no external trap parser required.

FAQs
For common Kiwi use cases (syslog, SNMP traps, Windows Event Logs), NXLog can receive and forward the same data and then go further with cross‑platform telemetry collection, parsing, secure transport, built‑in storage, and fleet management.
Yes. NXLog is vendor‑agnostic and integrates with any SIEM/observability stack including Loggly.
Use USM (auth+encrypt) and parse traps into structured fields without external utilities.
Use the native im_msvistalog module (local or remote). No separate “event log forwarder” is required.
NXLog includes failover, load balancing, and buffering to keep telemetry flowing.
