Has this dependency been removed from SyslogAgent? or Has it been included as part of the Setup for syslogagent? A: NTSyslog was made a long time ago, in standard c code. SyslogAgent is written in c and c++ in a MFC environment. .NET is not required. Q2)Is there any work on progress to develop syslogAgent to support for Windows 2008? A: SyslogAgent executes and work in a x64 environment (x64 build available too). I'm not sure if anything else is needed - as I understand it Vista and win2008 are very similar regarding event log. Q3) Also does it support log rotate feature? A: It handles clearing of the Event log, and many types of application log rotation. The latter is however a jungle and i would suggest to test the applications you are interested in. Q 4) Does SyslogAgent Support hostname instead of IP addresses for the Server Syslog? A: No, by design. SyslogAgent wants to be able to send the logs at any time. A failed DNS lookup would ruin that - hence IP adress based.

It has expanded some to also handle basic application log file handling, but Event Log file handling is the main focus. Some major performance bugs/design errors have also been eliminated over the years. Being GNU licensed, it is of course free, with source code available.
