Hi all, Does anyone know of a good Syslog server and analyser for Windows please? I can produce syslogs from my router, with no problem, but wading through them for errors is tedious. What would be ideal, would be if the server could alert me by Email or otherwise, of errors, as they happen. Thanks all for help.

Steve,
Grey Log is by far pretty good at least it was in the past. It is Linux based but you will have to find a tool to automatically pull and convert Windows Event logs to syslog format.
Thanks,
Billy

Graylog recommends Winlogbeat as a Windows log forwarder. More information

I haven't used Graylog myself, but I've heard good things. Their free
community edition may work well for you.

Steve's router can send out logs via Syslog so Graylog can ingest directly without having a forwarder.

Hi Andrew,
So is Graylog itself available for Windows?
Thanks.
All the best

Hi.
No I don't think it works on Windows which is why I didn't suggest it in the first place.
