What didn't snare do that you needed it to? – user22492 Oct 21 '10 at 15:52
snare worked very well for us as well – beakersoft Oct 21 '10 at 17:26
I deployed snare at last. For some reason it didn't work in the first place. Anyway. thanks everyone :> – Nikolaidis Fotis Oct 25 '10 at 13:42
please consider adding an answer saying that you decided to retry snare and that it worked. Then accept that answer. – Zoredache Jan 27 '11 at 3:12

nxlog is open-source and can pull files and EventLog on windows. It can forward over UDP, TCP or SSL and it even supports the newer IETF syslog standard.

Snare is a good one to use. You can also use the Lasso Client from Loglogic. Search for Lasso at http://loglogic.com.
