Protocol
- Description
-
A set of rules defining how to format and exchange data over a computer network. It allows different devices to communicate with each other regardless of their underlying software and hardware differences. For example, some of the most used network protocols are TCP/IP, HTTPS, and SMTP.
NXLog Agent supports all the necessary network protocols for collecting and forwarding logs. It can also collect protocol-based network traffic using the Packet Capture input module, including a set of industrial network protocols. NXLog Agent also implements a custom NXLog Transport protocol, which transfers compressed, structured data between agent instances and NXLog Platform.
