Collect logs with NXLog
As a database engine, Raijin is geared towards semi-structured data, making it a perfect solution for log storage. Log data is notoriously unstructured, making it hard to store in rigid table structures like traditional SQL systems.
Raijin complements NXLog’s powerful log collection and centralization solutions. With NXLog Enterprise Edition’s Raijin integration, you can seamlessly and easily send logs from NXLog Enterprise Edition to a Raijin database instance. The two fit hand in glove, providing the methods of capturing, processing, and storing log data for a complete log management solution.
