"Kiwi Syslog Daemon is a freeware Syslog Daemon for Windows. It
receives, filters, logs, displays and forwards Syslog messages and SNMP
traps from hosts such as routers, switches, Unix hosts and any other

Subject: Log management software for Windows

Hello group,

I want to retain security and event log data on a Windows machine that
is
generated on other machines; for example: the IDS log from my firewall.
This is not as simple as retaining a file because the firewall does not
create a file (it has no hard drive).  The firewall is equipped to
export
(stream) the log data to a computer (by IP address), but the Windows
machine, without additional software, has no concept what this incoming
data
stream is or what to do with it.  I understand that Linux comes with log
management software... but I want to use a Windows machine; so, the
question
is: Do you know of any good but free or cheap log management software
that
will run on a Windows machine?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Ken
