Create an end-to-end log data flow visualization

This feature is still in beta.

Starting on NXLog Platform 1.4, you can create a log flow data visualization dashboard for your NXLog Agent instances. Visualizing the log data flow can help you better understand your data’s journey and review event-per-second (EPS) metrics across different parts of your system.

To create a data flow visualization dashboard:

  1. Navigate to Agents from the left navigation menu.

  2. Press Ctrl+K on your keyboard, then select Log Flow.

  3. Open the Architecture panel.

  4. From the Configurations item list, drag and drop your log sources onto the Architecture panel.

  5. From the Platform / SIEM item list, drag and drop your log destinations onto the Architecture panel. Optionally, click the edit icon on the SIEM log destination to rename the destination.

  6. Connect your log sources and destinations by dragging the connectors from your log sources and dropping them onto the log destinations.
