WinForwarder 1.0.129

Michael Reggio – Freeware

WinForwarder is a Windows Service that will collect selected windows information from a machine and forwards that informatoin to a log collection server in JSON format.

Currently this is primarily designed for use with Logstash/RabbitMQ and is sending events over TCP/UDP in JSON format but I am hoping to extend the functionality for other logging services.

If you use Kibana/Elasticsearch/LogStash/RabbitMQ for your log collection and reporting system then this can help you collect the data you need from your Windows Servers.
