Log shipper
- Description
-
A software tool for collecting telemetry data from various sources and forwarding it to a centralized location, such as a SIEM. A log shipper typically runs in the background and must be capable of efficiently processing large volumes of data without affecting its host’s performance.
NXLog Platform provides NXLog Agent as its log shipper. It supports collecting telemetry data from diverse sources, including Windows Event Log, Linux system logs, and macOS system logs. It can also forward telemetry data to many destinations, including all major SIEMs.
