I’ve been using the free syslog client here<\/a> (draytek router tools) for some time.\u00a0 The software comes with the excellent draytek routers and actually receives most syslog messages just fine.\u00a0 Even relays them to my home so I can keep an eye on things there.\u00a0 During a recent work emergency (DDOS), I needed to view the logs for specific events over multiple servers on a continuous basis.\u00a0 I couldn’t do this with the draytek software.\u00a0 It also had a couple annoying bugs (looses it’s relay settings on every app restart, for example) that have bugged me for a while.\u00a0 I had a few ideas of how I would prefer a syslog client to work, so I quickly wrote up my own during one late night session.\u00a0 Here is it.\u00a0 Feel free to utilise it.\u00a0 It is probably a bit buggy at the moment, though it works fine for me right now receiving at the office, logging, relaying etc.\u00a0 It certainly made my life over those few days a lot more bearable.\u00a0 Only wrote it a couple days ago, so a lot of time has not yet been invested!\u00a0 I’ll almost certainly add to it, so check back if you do find it useful.\u00a0 It’s written in .NET.\u00a0 No install.\u00a0 Just copy to a home on your PC and run. Config settings are in the config file.<\/p>\n
