Syslog agent for Windows?

Hi guys,

I’m just trying to get more viability on windows machines at home. Is there a free syslog agent for windows that can report back to a syslog server?

One of the things I’m hoping to get is a alert if powershell commands have been run on a machine.

Zabbix can pull event logs if you install the zabbix agent on the client machine and you can alert on the event ID, log severity or name or a combination of those and a few more.

Thank you. I’ll check it out.

Solarwinds does make a free product you can try out: https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/event-log-forwarder-for-windows

I have used it before to forward logs over to a log analyzer.
