Nagios Log Server systems are based on a clustering model. Each server in the cluster is called an Instance. Adding an Instance to your Log Server cluster allows you to balance server load, create a redundant copy of log event data, and scale Log Server to meet your environment’s needs. Keep your data highly available and redundant with additional Nagios Log Server Instances. Each instance in the cluster shares in the workload of indexing and querying your data. A minimum of 2 instances is recommended to provide redundancy and resiliency.

Additional log types can be added through the easy GUI configuration wizard. Basically, if there’s a log you want to monitor, Nagios Log Server can receive it for further analysis.
Log Server utilizes the open source tools called Elasticsearch as well as Logstash for the cluster formation/storage and log data collection system respectively.
