Deploying NXLog Platform on Kubernetes with Helm
NXLog Platform can now be installed using the official Helm chart, following the same Kubernetes deployment standard as any other enterprise Kubernetes application. Red Hat OpenShift is also fully supported using native OpenShift Routes.
According to the CNCF 2025 Annual Cloud Native Survey, 82% of container users run Kubernetes in production, and 81% prefer Helm as their package manager of choice. Kubernetes adoption spans every major cloud provider and distribution, including GKE (32%), AKS (17%), OpenShift (13%), and Amazon EKS, and continues to grow as the default substrate for enterprise infrastructure.

Fluent Bit vs Filebeat: Architecture, trade-offs, and the better default
If you are choosing between Fluent Bit and Filebeat, the real question is where you want routing, parsing, and failure handling to live. Pick the wrong default, and you create config sprawl, brittle pipelines, and extra work every time your backend or deployment model changes.
Choose Fluent Bit when the agent itself needs to behave like a small pipeline, and choose Filebeat when your log path ends inside Elastic and you want the shipper to match Elastic’s operating model.

Fluent Bit vs Fluentd: How to choose the right tool for your log pipeline
Choosing between Fluent Bit and Fluentd is an architecture decision, not a product shootout. Both projects live under the CNCF Fluent umbrella and share a common lineage at Treasure Data, but they target different roles in a logging pipeline. Fluent Bit is a C-based telemetry agent designed for low-overhead collection at the edge. Fluentd is a Ruby-and-C data collector built for aggregation, transformation, and multi-destination routing.
The practical question is not which one is better — it’s where each one belongs in your stack, and whether you need both.

Collecting Kubernetes logs with NXLog
Kubernetes is nowadays the de facto standard for the deployment and management of containerized applications. A Kubernetes deployment may contain hundreds, if not thousands, of nodes and pods. As with any other system, collecting logs from your Kubernetes environment is imperative to monitor the health of your cluster and to troubleshoot issues when they arise. In this post we will explore the logging challenges that Kubernetes poses, and how NXLog can be a key player in your logging solution.
