NXlog Enterprise Edition For Linux

NXlog Enterprise Edition is a commercial, universal, modular and multiplatform command-line software project written in C and designed from the offset to act as a log collector and forwarder utility that supports popular log protocols and it's compatible with all mainstream operating systems.

As expected, a paid edition of any software brings a wide variety of features that are not present in the standard, freely distributed edition. These include a high-performance, scalable and multi-threaded I/O that can be used for collecting messages at faster speeds, support for scheduling tasks, built-in rotation of logs, as wlel as a modular architecture.

The software comes with support for a wide range of log sources and protocols, including Graylog2 GELF, XML, CSV (Comma Separated Value), Windows EventLog, Syslog and JSON, pattern matching support, event classification support, and secure network transport over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).

As mentioned, the program offers a powerful plugin architecture based on dynamically loadable plugins that will enhance the software's default functionality. Among other interesting features, we can mention log message buffering, event classification, log message prioritization, rewrite of log messages, conversion between multiple log file formats, and an offline processing mode for conversions, post processing and transfers operations.

A simple configuration format is used for storing options. Several command-line options are available and can be viewed at a glance by running the ‘nxlog --help’ command in any console environment.

Similar to the Community edition, the Enterprise edition of NXlog is also cross-platform, supported on a wide range of computer or mobile operating systems, including GNU/Linux, AIX, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, AIX, BSD, HP-UX, as well as Android. It has been successfully tested on both 64-bit and 32-bit hardware architectures.
