Project Release Information2013-02-08 10:20 The most notable feature addition is the SockBufSize option for the UDP input module, which can help against UDP packet loss. There have been several other bugfixes and enhancements, such as the s/// string replacement operator. 2012-12-19 11:43 A new output module (om_http) can be used to send data to an HTTP(s) service. The pm_buffer module has been rewritten to use chunked file storage. This release contains several other fixes and improvements, see the included changelog for more information. 2012-03-06 07:37 This documentation has been greatly enhanced. Some possible memory leaks and race conditions were fixed. The code can now be compiled with older APR 1.2. The group memberships are honored on Unix/Linux, and a regression in the im_file module has been fixed when using wildcards. 2012-01-24 20:39 The code can now be compiled for Android. SNARE Syslog format support has been added for output. The im_mseventlog module can now produce output in UTF-8 and its error handling was enhanced to be more fault tolerant against the EventLog subsystem's failures. The im_mseventlog and im_msvistalog modules now set the AccountType and Category fields. A ReadFromLast configuration directive was added for the im_mseventlog and im_file modules. 2012-01-02 12:51 The newer IETF syslog standard (RFC 5424, 5425, 5426) is now fully supported. The I/O layer has been rewritten, which yields a 2-3x performance boost in some situations. Project Resources
Project Description nxlog is a modular, multi-threaded, high-performance log management solution with multi-platform support. In concept, it is similar to syslog-ng or rsyslog, but is not limited to Unix/syslog only. It can collect logs from files in various formats, receive logs from the network remotely over UDP, TCP, or TLS/SSL on all supported platforms. It supports platform-specific sources such as the Windows Eventlog, Linux kernel logs, Android device logs, local syslog, etc. Writing and reading logs to/from databases is also supported for many database servers. The collected logs can be stored into files, databases, or forwarded to a remote log server using various protocols. The old BSD Syslog and the newer IETF syslog standard (RFC 3164 and RFC 5424-5426) are fully supported by nxlog in addition to XML, JSON, CSV, GELF, and other custom formats. A key concept in nxlog is to be able to handle and preserve structured logs so there is no need to convert everything to syslog and then parse these logs again at the other side. It has powerful message filtering, log rewrite, and conversion capabilities. Using a lightweight, modular, and multi-threaded architecture which can scale, nxlog can process hundreds of thousands of events per second. |  |
