Syslog-ng secure system logging meets compliance requirements

Syslog-ng collects and classifies the log messages of operating systems and applications and transfers them to the high-performance log server in an encrypted and reliable channel where the messages can be processed further and stored in secure, encrypted files or databases. Supporting reliable transport protocols, message buffering, and client-side failover, syslog-ng minimizes the risk of message loss.  With Syslog-ng Premium Edition you can achieve regulatory compliance through:

• Secure SSL/TLS communications that protects sensitive data
• Reliable data transport using standard TCP sockets
• Protection from data loss caused by network failures
• Intelligent data storage using relational database technology
• Integration with your existing Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) solution
• Sophisticated network routing and relay capabilities for distributed topologies

Secure log storage

Store log messages securely in encrypted, compressed, indexed, and timestamped binary files, so any sensitive data is available only for authorized personnel who have the appropriate encryption key.

Agent for Microsoft Windows platforms

Collect the log messages from Window event log groups and log files then forward them to a syslog-ng server using regular or TLS-encrypted TCP connections.

Intelligent data storage using relational database technology

Storing your log messages in a database allows you to easily search and query the messages and interoperate with log analyzing applications. The Premium Edition of syslog-ng supports the following databases: MySQL, Microsoft SQL (MSSQL), Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

Reliable log transfer

The syslog-ng application enables you to send the log messages from your hosts to remote servers. The logs of different servers can be collected and stored centrally on dedicated log servers. Transferring log messages using the TCP protocol ensures that no messages are lost. Optimized for performance The syslog-ng application is optimized for performance, and can handle enormous amount of messages. Depending on its exact configuration, it has been known to process over 75,000 messages per second real-time, and over 24 GB raw logs per hour on average server hardware.
