I'm curious about this: though the source is not "open", is it still available for review/compilation, or is the windows agent distributed as a pre-compiled binary only? I'm curious because while I'd prefer (in theory) to use the syslog-ng agent on windows machines to forward to my syslog-ng servers... one of the benefits of using the available ones (evtsys, snare) is the ability to at least diagnose, resolve, and post back fixes when necessary.
Obviously whatever your company decides is its right, but my policy is not to run free (unsupported) binary-only software because of the inability to at least post a sensible bug report.
Looking forward to checking it out either way however, since I'm also not against buying software ;)
Thanks for this information, this is really useful. I'll try to convince my collegues about this matter. -- Bazsi
