[logs] Eventlog to syslog

[David Corlette]

I guess the question is though whether the syslog part of the equation is a requirement.  We have what we think is a pretty slick Windows remote monitoring tool, which uses WMI, but it doesn't convert to syslog (we also support Snare data from Windows, however).

The question was stated as a very limited technical query, but you might find it more useful to state it as a business problem, like "how are people out there monitoring their Windows systems and the applications that run on them?"

Also - does it have to be OSS? ;-)
