Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Configuring syslog.conf Post 302764121 by zazzybob on Thursday 31st of January 2013 02:49:30 AM

This will work, as long as the Windows syslog server windowshost is resolvable by DNS or /etc/hosts (or whatever naming services you're using) and the syslog server is listening on port 514/udp. Kiwi Syslog on Windows works fine for this, and I've used it many times previously.

BTW: Please use code tags to make your configuration/code/etc. more readable.
