Meet Fastvue Syslog
A simple, unlimited, and completely free Syslog Server for Windows.
Fastvue Syslog consumes all the data from your syslog-enabled devices and writes it to organised text files.
You get everything you need in one place - faster, easier, and 100% free.
Why log to text files?
Text logs are an open format. Your data isn’t locked within a particular vendor's proprietary database.
Text logs have low overhead. There’s no need to run heavy database engines consuming valuable CPU and RAM resources.
They’re easy for humans to read, and easy to search or grep.
They can be accepted as evidence in legal proceedings.
Text logs compress well.
There are a large number of log analysis and reporting apps available that can parse text logs, such as WebSpy Vantage.
A simple, unlimited and free syslog server for Windows.
