NXLog

NXLog offers a comprehensive range of functionalities for collecting, processing, forwarding, and storing log data. Conceptually, it is similar to syslog-ng or rsyslog, but it is not limited to Unix-like services. Supporting various platforms, log sources, and formats, it serves as an ideal solution for implementing centralized logging systems to gather logs in diverse formats and receive them remotely via UDP, TCP, or TLS/SSL across all supported platforms. With support for platform-specific sources—such as Windows Event Log, Linux kernel logs, Android device logs, and more—it can read and write logs in many popular database servers, making it a versatile and efficient choice. Collected logs can be stored as files, database records, or forwarded to another remote log server using various protocols. In addition to other custom formats, it fully supports the legacy BSD Syslog and the newer IETF syslog standards (RFC 3164 and RFC 5424-5426). A key concept of NXLog is its ability to process and retain structured logs, eliminating the need to first convert everything to syslog format and then parse it again on the receiving end. It features powerful message filtering, rewriting, and transformation capabilities, operating seamlessly "behind the scenes." Built on a lightweight, modular, and multi-threaded architecture, NXLog can easily scale up or down, handling hundreds of thousands of events per second.

NXLog is a modern log collector that gathers, processes, forwards, and stores log data from diverse platforms and sources for centralized log management and security observability.
