syslog-ngTM got you here. Axoflow gets you where you need to be.

"I created syslog-ngTM in 1998 because the existing tools were unreliable. Twenty-five years later, I created Axoflow because organizations were still drowning in poorly-formatted, redundant log noise."

The Challenge

syslog-ng, was built to ship logs reliably, at scale but today’s IT environments are dynamic. Modern log management requires central management, automation, and observability, and these capabilities aren’t on the roadmap. Whether you’re using syslog-ng Premium Edition, Open Source Edition, syslog-ng Store Box or SC4S, you're running legacy systems that are adding unintended costs.

Complex Environments Are Increasingly Difficult to Manage

Logs come from everywhere. Stitching all of that together with collectors, agents, and forwarders becomes a full-time job.

Maintaining Ever-changing Schema, Complex Pipelines

syslog-ng™ is sometimes referred to as a programming language. Writing configuration requires significant knowledge and time.

Lack of visibility

Without observability metrics for your syslog-ng infrastructure, you're flying blind. Log flows can fail silently without anyone noticing.

The Solution

Axoflow Platform is built on AxoSyslog, our actively developed syslog-ng distribution, the real upstream, maintained by the people who wrote the original codebase. The power of syslog-ng without the pain.

Manage everything from one place.

Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot your entire pipeline from a single web-based interface. No CLI expertise needed — any team member can operate it from day one.

Automation to scale

Axoflow automatically discovers, identifies incoming data sources, parses then reduces, and curates data before routing flows to their respective destinations. All of this without writing a single line of configuration.

Complete Pipeline Visibility

Axoflow provides detailed metrics on data volume, event types, and transformation stages. You can visualize what’s contributing most to ingestion size and adjust filters or parsers.

Upgrade seamlessly

Migrate to the Axoflow platform in three easy steps.
1. Get visibility immediately. Deploy Axoflow alongside your existing syslog-ng nodes in under five minutes.
2. Migrate pipeline configuration to the Axoflow Console to unlock full platform functionality. AxoSyslog is a drop-in replacement for syslog-ng.
3. Retire the old config layer. AxoRouter remains underneath — same codebase, binary compatible, and better under load.
