Microsoft Azure Event Hub Integration
We are glad to inform you that we are expanding our integration with Microsoft Azure and now you can send data to and receive logs from the Azure Event Hubs where it can be transformed and stored by using any real-time analytics provider or batching/storage adapters.
See the full documentation here.
Microsoft Azure Sentinel Integration Now Available
Sentinel is Microsoft’s security information event management (SIEM), which is offered as a service within Azure. Because of its presence within Azure and close integration with other Azure services, Microsoft refers to Sentinel as "a scalable, cloud-native, and security orchestration automated response (SOAR) solution."
NXLog can be configured as an agent for Sentinel, collecting and forwarding logs to its Log Analytics workspaces by following the steps described in this article.
