We have operated a central log service using syslog-ng for our UNIX
boxes for many years and are just started feeding windows logs to it
using Snare.  So far we are very happy with Snare and have not noticed
any stability problems, but it is early days yet...  It was straight
forward to get set up and so far has been trouble free.
