The syslog-ng Agent for Windows is an event log collector and forwarder application for Microsoft Windows platforms. It collects the log messages from event log groups and log files and forwards them to a syslog-ng server using regular or TLS-encrypted TCP connections, integrating your Windows hosts into your general log management infrastructure. The syslog-ng Agent can be managed from a domain controller using group policies, or run as a standalone application.
