Hi all,

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I researched and
found a lot related to syslog but nothing really gave me a clear
picture.

I noticed Windows event viewer events being logged in /ossec/logs/
alerts. I know these events are generated if any events match those
listed under /ossec/rules.

Question - If i wanted to log these events to a central syslog server
running syslog-ng, do I configure this on the ossec server or the
ossec client? I read the manual page and I believe something like the
code below is needed on the client but is this code only required if
you are using ossec's own built in syslog engine?

<syslog_output>
<server>xx.xx.xx.xx</server>
</syslog_output>

and then

# /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control enable client-syslog
# /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control start

from http://www.ossec.net/main/manual/manual-sending-alerts-via-syslog/

Thanks in advance
