An alternative to Elastic Beats

Discover why NXLog beats Elastic Beats


NXLog Enterprise Edition


  • Seamless integration with literally any SIEM, including Elasticsearch and Elastic Cloud.
  • Outstanding log collection capabilities from Windows, Linux, macOS, and more
  • Fast, secure, and reliable

NXLog offers a single, fully-featured agent for collecting, processing, and forwarding any type of log to Elasticsearch and Elastic Cloud.

Single-agent installation

For data shipping with the Beats family, you will need seven different log shippers to collect various types of data and send them to Elasticsearch. On the other hand, a single NXLog agent installation can collect, process, and forward any type of logs to Elasticsearch and Elastic Cloud. Yes, that’s one vs. seven agent installations.

The ultimate Windows log collector

While Winlogbeat only collects logs from Windows Event Log, NXLog collects logs from all Windows event sources including ETW providers. With NXLog’s native Windows modules you can easily collect, filter, and normalize your logs at the source, reducing the noise before ingestion, and ultimately saving you money.

Native Elasticsearch support
