Some still think telemetry is a futuristic concept, but it isn’t. It’s already integral to the smooth running of everything from websites, e-commerce platforms and mobile apps to manufacturing, traffic control and much, much more. And it all begins with the humble data log. From the earliest days of computing, programmers have recorded useful information — often in a file — to help track and react to potential threats and understand what’s going on "under the hood" of their IT infrastructures.

We are committed to the security of our customers, and wish to inform you of CVE-2025-67900, a recently published vulnerability affecting the Windows version of NXLog Agent 6.10 and older. Technical description The Windows version of NXLog Agent 6.10.10368 and older includes a Privilege Escalation vulnerability because it attempts to load an OpenSSL configuration file from the hardcoded and unintended directory C:\nxlog4\x64\ on startup. This is a legacy installation directory that may not exist in clean NXLog Agent installations.

As the new year looms large, we at NXLog are ready for one of the season’s most cherished traditions: reflecting on the year that ends. Coming off a 2024 that was centered on the NXLog Platform release, our 2025 was built on our analysis of the current state of the telemetry landscape. The main conclusion is that while telemetry data is essential for operations and security, 35% of organizations still struggle to collect it at scale.

Well, no doubt logging is the nervous system of any IT infrastructure. From troubleshooting outages to satisfying compliance audits and threat management, having the right log management pipeline can make the difference between smooth operations and chaotic firefighting. For decades, syslog-ng and rsyslog have been two of the most widely used log management tools for Unix and Linux environments. Both provide implementations of the original 1980s syslog protocol and are designed to collect, process, and forward log messages across networks.

We are happy to announce the latest release of NXLog Platform, version 1.10. This update introduces streamlined TLS certificate management, broader operating system support, and simplified agent configuration. It will now be even faster and easier to deploy and operate your telemetry pipeline. Want a quick overview?

Imagine a typical company: employees join, they move between offices and departments, then they leave. Each of these changes requires a systems access update for email, databases, internal tools, and more. Manually managing these transitions can be burdensome and error-prone. And where you have errors, you have inefficiencies and exposure to security breaches — neither of which is good for your business. This is where Identity and Access Management (IAM) comes in.
