Hmmm. Getting emails out of order. In any case, I meant to say that we want to collect Windows and UNIX logs and SNMP events to one server.
I forgot that we have Cacti installed (http://www.cacti.net) though it isn't used much. It already gathers SNMP events to MySQL and there is a plugin to display syslog data from MySQL The only unknown is how well syslog-ng runs under Cygwin.

Yeah, you don't want JUST an SNMP server. That's just a small piece of the puzzle.

We would like to centralize logging for all servers (and hopefully SNMP) on one server. However, there is only one UNIX admin (me) with a few servers for a small group and four Windows admins handling many servers for the entire network, so it makes more sense to use a Windows server for keeping these logs. > > Does anyone know or use a good open source application for centralized logging that runs on (*gasp*) Windows? > > It would be great if syslog-ng ran on Windows, but it does not. :( There is a forwarding agent for syslog-ng that runs on Windows, but that does not fit our requirements. > > Thanks, > John Hebert > > > > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Never miss a thing.
