Recommend a syslog server?

[mewsense]

I would like to set up a syslog server on vmWare esxi for storing my pfsense logs. Can someone recommend a quick way to set up a VM to do this? I haven't set one up before so I'm after something quick and easy with a way to view logs from a Windows machine.

Do you have a Windows VM that could run Kiwi syslog?

There is a free version of that (bottom of this page) and it's very easy to set up.

You could put Security Onion on a VM and use it as a syslog server (it includes ELSA)

There is a similar thread from earlier this month on the same subject with other suggestions.

Here is a free one for windows that I have used in the past

Pretty simple to use.
