Hello,

there is an encoding problem if using syslog-ng with windows agent.

Logs from Linux hosts are written to file as UTF-8, while the logs from windows agent are written to file as cp1252. The problem is visible if you have a message with chars out of ASCII set, like Ö. As a result we have a file that is both unreadable and useless for automation.

Is there any way to fix this? Or do you plan to fix this?

>From my point of view syslog-ng should write file using one charset. Preferably configurable.
