In this video, we are demonstrating file-based log compression and data at rest encryption with NXLog Enterprise Edition.Often when processing logs in an organization there may be a need to keep large amounts of logging data for extended periods of time on-premises. This may lead some administrators to send only select logs to their 3rd party SIEM while still needing to store all event logs elsewhere for archival, legal compliance, or other business needs for processing or review in the future. NXLog Enterprise Edition includes extension modules for both compression, and encryption to aid in both decreasing log storage burdens, and ensure that stored data is stored more safely, commonly known as data at rest protection.For more, read the documentation:Compression module (xm_zlib)Encryption module (xm_crypto)

In this tutorial, Seth will be demonstrating network connectivity and failover using a small lab environment consisting of a Windows machine (to generate events), five Linux servers for log collection, forwarding, and demonstrating failover situations, and another Linux server acting as a basic log ingestor that will display log data received and act as a mock SIEM to help us visualize log data.

The Splunk Universal Event Forwarder for Windows cannot collect ETW data. Other solutions can be used such as the NXLog im_etw module shown in this video.
