Fast, secure, and reliable

Compared to syslog-ng, NXLog collects logs from more input sources, in more formats, and ships to more output destinations. Check out the reasons we think our fast, feature-packed, and multi-platform log collection solution is superior.

Centralized remote management

Unlike with syslog-ng, you can mass deploy and configure NXLog agents with our centralized agent management platforms, Manager and Minder. We also offer managing your deployment with group policies or third-party applications. View metrics and update configurations across all or part of your NXLog agent infrastructure in an instant.

Native OS support and integrations

With native support for operating systems unsupported by syslog-ng (like macOS and BSD), we provide a truly cross-platform experience. Collect, enrich, and ship logs natively from Windows, Linux, and macOS, as well as less common operating systems like AIX and Solaris. Get rid of bootstrapped support for Windows and macOS by using our fully-featured log collection agent. With our versatile integrations, existing log management workflows can be easily extended with NXLog.

Powerful, configurable, and scalable

NXLog is a powerful log collection agent with a small footprint. Using a simple configuration language, you can easily set up and deploy our agent in your enterprise environment. Ingest and output logs in BSD syslog, IETF syslog, JSON, XML, and many other formats to easily integrate with your SIEM or log storage solution. Whether enriching your logs with additional data or filtering unneeded logs out of your environment, NXLog scales to meet the demands of your organization.
