I was easily able to install on all my windows servers and point to my Kiwi Syslog Server. All of my windows event logs are now in syslog format. The facilities and severities are automatically assigned. It's free.
Cons
None that I can find.
Summary
If you?re looking for a software utility to convert windows event logs (system, application, security, etc) and send them to a third party syslog server. This software is it. Much easier to use then other utilities I have tried. All of the agent configuration is done automatically. Highly recommended.
