Navigating the NXLog Platform UI

The NXLog Platform web interface is where you will manage your user account, organization, NXLog Agent fleet, and log storage. It is also where you can search and analyze your logs and create custom dashboards according to your needs.

Overview

When you sign in to the NXLog Platform portal, you are greeted with the Overview page, where you can find helpful links and information. Whether it is your first login or returning to manage your deployment, use this page to access your NXLog Agent packages, Agent Manager settings, documentation, and help center.

Once you connect your first NXLog Agent instance, this page instead summarizes your deployment status, including a widget showing your entitlements usage.
