rsyslog is an open-source, high-performance event processing and ETL engine for Linux and Unix. It ingests data from diverse sources, transforms and enriches events, and routes them reliably to SIEM, analytics, observability, database, file, and cloud platforms. Originally best known as a syslog solution, rsyslog today is widely used to build scalable event and log pipelines that require flexible routing, deep processing, and strong delivery guarantees. It also remains a proven solution for log processing, from small deployments to extremely large environments at scale. Professional support, consulting, and related commercial solutions are available from Adiscon.

WinSyslog is a Windows-native syslog server for organizations that need reliable log collection and forwarding on Windows.

WinSyslog is a practical choice for Windows-based environments, branch offices, and mixed infrastructures that need an easy-to-deploy syslog solution backed by the team behind rsyslog. It is being developed and continuously improved since 1996.
