      I have finally found a free to inexpensive solution to a centralized syslog server to capture the data securely.

      www.papertrail.com a free web based syslog solution.

      You can forward syslog requests through a windows server or non windows server using:

      http://nxlog.org/products/nxlog-community-edition/download

      The modify the script as shown below:

      modify or replace nxlog.conf with the following:

      define ROOT C:\Program Files (x86)\nxlog
      Moduledir %ROOT%\modules
      CacheDir  %ROOT%\data
      Pidfile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.pid
      SpoolDir  %ROOT%\data
      LogFile %ROOT%\data\nxlog.log
       <extension syslog="">Module xm_syslog</extension> 
      # Monitor application log files
      
          Module im_udp
          Host    0.0.0.0
          Port    514
      
       <processor input_transformer="">Module pm_transformer
        OutputFormat syslog_rfc5424</processor> 
      
      <output syslogout="">
        Module om_udp
        Host YOUR_HOST.papertrailapp.com
        Port YOUR_PORT
      </output>
      
       <route 1="">Path syslogin => input_transformer => syslogout</route> 
      
      

      Modify host and port as needed.
