Some other solutions that we looked at; their capabilities were minimal. Since we work with so many different clients, we never know what request the client is going to throw at you and we want to know that we can support those requests no matter what they are, and with NXLog it‘s sort of like the swiss army knife of logging tools.

So overall, NxLog is amazing. It allows you to take the load off of your central syslog cluster and distribute it across all of your endpoints that are generating logs. This also decreases the amount and size of events coming into your cluster from the start so you are only getting exactly the items that you need.

There is nothing at this point that I wanted to do with NXLog that I haven’t been able to do, and its support has always been very responsive and really good.
