SIEM Log Forwarder for Log Shipping

Forward logs to any SIEM and cut SIEM costs at the source

NXLog Platform is a vendor-neutral log shipper that collects, processes, stores (optional), and routes logs, metrics, and traces through one telemetry pipeline. Filter and normalize data before it reaches your SIEM to reduce ingest volume, bandwidth, storage, and SIEM licensing costs that are billed by data volume.

SIEM log forwarding at a glance

Typical log shippers
With NXLog Platform
Forward logs to SIEM
Basic shipping only
Ship + parse + filter + route with one agent pipeline
Reduce SIEM costs
Sends everything downstream
Drop noise/duplicates at source to reduce SIEM licensing costs
Log forwarding control
Limited transforms
Normalize and enrich records before sending to SIEM
Multi-destination routing
Often single-destination
Route the same stream to multiple tools and archives
Security and reliability
Varies by shipper
Source-side filtering + controlled routes (design supports processing sequences)
Beyond logs
Logs only
Pipeline for logs, metrics, and traces (plus events)

How NXLog helps reduce SIEM licensing costs

Group 25814

Filter at the source to reduce ingest volume

NXLog Agent can filter out unnecessary or duplicate events so you transfer and store less data across your entire pipeline. This directly reduces licensing costs for commercial SIEMs that bill by ingested data volume.

Normalize once, search faster downstream

NXLog can parse records into structured data for further processing, including normalization and enrichment, so your SIEM receives cleaner, more consistent events. Better structure typically means simpler parsing rules, faster correlation, and fewer downstream workarounds.

Route high-value data to SIEM, keep the rest elsewhere

Use routing to send only high-signal security telemetry to the SIEM while keeping verbose operational logs in cheaper storage or alternate tools. This is one of the most practical ways to “collect more, pay less.”

Why teams choose NXLog for log forwarding

Source-side cost control

Filtering at collection reduces bandwidth, storage, and SIEM licensing costs tied to ingest volume.

Edge processing built in

Parse events (and metrics) into structured data for enrichment and transformation before forwarding.

Flexible routing and pipelines

Build routes from input → processors → outputs to match your environment and delivery requirements.

Works with your SIEM

Use SIEM integration guides to forward common log types into your security tooling.

One telemetry pipeline

Collect, process, store/analyze (optional), and route logs, metrics, and traces through one platform.

Built for real-world noise

The best place to fight alert fatigue and log noise is at the source, before data reaches the SIEM.

Value by Team

Group 25783

Platform / Observability Engineer 

  • Standardize log shipping with one pipeline for collection, processing, and routing.

  • Normalize events at the edge so downstream queries and alerts stay consistent.

  • Route telemetry to multiple destinations without duplicating collectors.

  • Add metrics pipelines (for example OpenTelemetry/Prometheus modules) when needed.

Group 25784

DevOps / SRE

  • Reduce noise with filtering at the source to keep pipelines lean.

  • Lower bandwidth and storage requirements by reducing data size before transport.

  • Use structured parsing for faster troubleshooting and fewer downstream parsing hacks.

  • Build predictable routes and processing sequences using modules and routes.

Group 25922

Cloud / Infrastructure Engineers 

  • Forward security telemetry into your SIEM using SIEM-specific integration guidance.

  • Reduce alert fatigue by filtering noise before SIEM ingestion.

  • Improve detection fidelity by normalizing fields consistently before correlation.

  • Control SIEM spend by routing only high-value events to expensive indexes.

Group 25923

Platform Owner / IT Architect 

  • Avoid vendor lock-in with a vendor-neutral forwarding layer.

  • Establish a cost-control strategy that scales with filtering and reduced data size.

  • Standardize processing and routing across teams using a common pipeline model.

  • Extend beyond logs over time (metrics and traces) without redesigning the pipeline.

FAQs

It’s both: it forwards logs to SIEMs and also provides processing pipelines (and optional storage/analysis) in the same platform.

Yes—filtering at the source reduces transferred and stored data, which can reduce SIEM licensing costs billed by data volume.

Yes—NXLog’s routing model is built from modules and routes so you can define output paths that match your requirements.

NXLog Platform positions itself as a telemetry pipeline for logs, metrics, and traces, and NXLog Agent includes modules for collecting/forwarding metrics (including OpenTelemetry exporter and Prometheus output).

NXLog documentation includes SIEM integration guides (for example Sentinel, ArcSight, QRadar, Rapid7 InsightIDR, and others).
