Best free Syslog
Guys can anyone please recommend on the best free syslog product available?
It can be a virtual appliance or an install-able software, but has to be free.
Thanks in advance!

We've considered using zabbix.

Yes, you can feed ALL Windows events also into Splunk, and everything appears on the timeline, and setup emails alerts, if you've never used Splunk, you are in for a treat.
All events, in one place! To search, report, and alert and email on!

Kiwi Syslog - Yes, trial for a few days, and then £200!
Years ago, when it was under Kiwi Tools, you could registered for a free license, but no longer!
The biggest issue with Syslog, is you can end up collecting mountains of information, but only a small amount will you need to alert on.
So finding a Syslog Server which can Alert on specific info is vital, otherwise you email Inbox of SMS Phone will be flooded with Alerts!
and you will not then be able to "see the wood for the trees"
