Distributed Deployments Updates
Software updates (upgrades, maintenance patches, fixes, etc.) can be published from a single XpoLog instance interface to all cluster nodes and remote XpoLog instances.
Data Statistics and Monitoring
XpoLog System Status was enhanced and presents a new data section that summarizes XpoLog's data activity - volume averages, minimum/maximum per log/application/server for business hours activity and non-business hours activity. In addition, monitoring rules may be applied to immediately get alerts on logs/applications/servers which are not being collected or being collected with less/more data than anticipated.

Syslog Listeners (UDP / TCP)
XpoLog may be configured to monitor incoming Syslog messages and decode the messages to be available in XpoLog. XpoLog can listen on UDP and/or TCP ports for syslog data arriving from one or more source devices. You can use XpoLog to receive syslog data from these source devices for easy searching, reporting and alerting - XpoLog can automatically split the received syslog data and create a dedicated log per source device.

Logstash Integration
XpoLog’s architecture allows receiving data sent by logstash, using XpoLog's logstash output. In order to do this, a Syslog listener account should be created in XpoLog for receiving the data on a specific network port, and the XpoLog logstash output should be sending data to this listener.
