NXLog Core Capabilities

A purpose-built, hardened platform for secure log collection, processing, and immutably storage.

1. Hardened Logging Appliance (Immutably)

  • Secure Boot & firemware validation
  • Read-only root filesystem (optional)
  • Service minimisation & strict access controls
  • Network-restricted management interfaces
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

2. Log Collection & Processing (NXLog Platform's Engine)

Multi-Source Ingestion

  • Windows Event Logs
  • Linux (Syslog, Auditd)
  • Network devices (firewalls, IDS/IPS, routers)
  • Applications (web, database, custom logs)
  • Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Industry systems (OT/ICS, healthcare, finance)

Processing Pipeline (NXLog Platform’s Engine)

  • Parsing (JSON, XML, Syslog, CSV, RegEx)
  • Normalisation & field extraction
  • Timestamp unification
  • Enrichment (Metadata, geo-IP, tagging)
  • Format transformation (JSON, CEF, LEEF, custom schemas)

Forwarding & Distribution (NXLog Platform’s Engine)

  • Encrypted TCP/UDP with TLS
  • Mutual authentication
  • Kafka, AMQP, MQTT, ZeroMQ
  • Load balancing & failover
  • Guaranteed delivery with buffering

3. Immutable Storage & Integrity (Immutably)

  • Cryptographic Hashing & Chaining
    Each log record is linked, making tampering detectable.
  • Write-Once Storage (WORM)
    Prevents modification or deletion during retention.
  • Append-Only Architecture
    Ensures full audit trail preservation
  • Integrity Attestation
    • Exportable proof reports
    • Independent verification capability
    • Chain-of-custody validation

4. Management & Visibility

  • Web UI and CLI management
  • Real-time ingestion monitoring
  • Integrity status dashboards
  • NXLog pipeline configuration
  • Certificate and key management
  • Full audit logging of administrative actions

5. Performance & Scalability

  • Ingestion Throughput
    Up to millions of events per second
  • Low latency Forwarding
    Sub- 10ms typical
  • Storage Scaling
    TB to PB capacity
  • High Availability
    Clustering and failover
  • Deployment Models
    • On-premises
    • Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)
    • Hybrid environments
