SysLog Server

Could someone please recommend a SysLog Server application? We are in need
of capturing logs from Cisco PiX firewall and a few other Windows Hosts for
Auditing purposes (no daily monitoring). I understand there are some good
freeware Linux based solutions but I am looking for a decent Windows based
solution. Even if it is not free (inexpensive is good).

Thank you.

We've been using WinSyslog for quite a while now. Pretty easy to deploy
and fulfilled all requirements that _we_ had:

Ditto on the Kiwi. It's nice & it's free.

Thanks guys.

Is there an Windows event forward that works with Kiwi? I didn't see one on
their website.

Thank you Florian,

Do you know if it can forward Windows Events from the servers to the syslog
repository?

Thanks.
