A Loggly alternative

Security incidents create log spikes — and Loggly plans cap daily volume, with data above the cap left unindexed. NXLog Platform has no volume or EPS limits, and agent-side buffering holds events through network outages. Your investigation never starts with missing data.

Loggly is agentless, so its documentation points Windows users to NXLog for Event Log collection. If you run Loggly on Windows, you likely run our agent already. NXLog Platform gives that agent a pipeline, storage, analytics, and fleet management to report to.

Loggly retention tops out at 90 days, and older data moves to S3 archives you can't search from Loggly. With NXLog Platform, you set the retention period on storage you control — 12 months for PCI DSS, longer if your policy requires it.

NXLog Platform runs on your infrastructure: on-premises, in your cloud account, or in air-gapped networks. Sensitive security telemetry stays searchable without leaving your environment.

NXLog licenses by source, not volume. Verbose sources like Sysmon, DNS, and ETW cost the same as quiet ones — so no one is tempted to switch off the telemetry your detections depend on.

One cross-platform agent (Windows, Linux, macOS, BSD, AIX, Solaris; x86/x64/ARM/PowerPC) for endpoint and network collection, processing, and routing.

Native Windows Event Log and ETW, file integrity monitoring, Windows Registry monitoring, macOS Endpoint Security, Linux Audit, DNS, network devices — 120+ built-in integrations.

Parse (JSON, CSV, XML, key-value, syslog, Grok), filter, enrich, and mask PII before data crosses the network.

High-compression retention, fast search, and dashboards. Use alongside or without a third-party SIEM.

TLS in transit, RBAC, audit logs, and centralized configuration for up to 100,000 agents per node.
