I am talking Windows.
I manage multiple mail, s/ftp, im, firewall, and other servers spread
out all over the World on a variety of OSes. Most of these are able to
send messages to a central syslog server.
There's also an IDS system sending syslog alerts.
Currently, Synchronet's logs are bundled up by some scripts that forward
them to syslog. I would like to remove the delay this introduces to
that to, for instance, update my firewall against hack attempts.
