    We use Kiwi Syslog Daemon here. It is free and seems to work well for us.
    Still trying to learn how to read the logs. Go to

    Subject: Log management software for Windows

    Hello group,

    I want to retain security and event log data on a Windows machine that is
    generated on other machines; for example: the IDS log from my firewall.
    This is not as simple as retaining a file because the firewall does not
    create a file (it has no hard drive). The firewall is equipped to export
    (stream) the log data to a computer (by IP address), but the Windows
    machine, without additional software, has no concept what this incoming data
    stream is or what to do with it. I understand that Linux comes with log
    management software... but I want to use a Windows machine; so, the question
    is: Do you know of any good but free or cheap log management software that
    will run on a Windows machine?

    Thanks for any suggestions,

    Ken
