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.

Most discussions about OpenTelemetry pipelines focus on getting data from point A to point B. Collect telemetry, maybe convert the format, forward it to a backend. That’s the minimum viable pipeline, and it’s where most tooling stops. But a pipeline that only moves data is a pipe, not a processing layer. The telemetry arriving at your observability platform or SIEM is only as useful as the context it carries. A raw log entry saying "connection from 198.

OpenTelemetry has become the de facto standard for telemetry data. Nearly 50% of surveyed cloud-native end-user companies have adopted it, and the project ranks as the second-highest-velocity initiative in the CNCF, behind only Kubernetes. The direction is clear: if your infrastructure doesn’t speak OpenTelemetry, it will increasingly be left out of the observability conversation. But adopting OpenTelemetry across an entire infrastructure is a different problem than adopting it in a greenfield application.

Today, most enterprises use a security log analytics solution or SIEM (Security Information & Event Management), but analytics are only as good as the data fed into your solution. If you’re missing data sources or are failing to extract full value from the data, you won’t see the big picture. This is an issue new customers commonly mention to NXLog. That’s why one of our key goals is to provide a solid data collection layer that ensures all relevant data is collected and properly fed into the SIEM.

NXLog Community Edition was launched many years ago and, being cross-platform and highly versatile, quickly became a leading log collection tool. With millions of downloads, it is widely used across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments.

In my early days as a Junior Sysadmin, I learned the value of automation when tasked with configuring hundreds of Windows XP machines. Yes, there was a version of Windows called XP. Automating large and repetitive tasks saves time and ensures scalability and consistency in IT environments. Scalability has become very important in IT, and in the golden age of automation tools and APIs, what could be a better way to execute the mass deployment and configuration of your log collection tool than using these very mature and available technologies?

The new method incorporates everything you need to install, configure, and enroll your agents in five simple, easy-to-follow steps.

One of the challenges that security-conscious Windows administrators face is collecting and centralizing Windows event logs. One of the obvious solutions that come to mind is the native Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) feature available on all modern Windows operating systems. WEF offers the convenience of forwarding Windows events to a central event collector without installing and managing agents. To objectively portray the role this valuable technology plays in the larger scope of enterprise log collection, we have written several articles that discuss it:
