Services#
Services are the WinSyslog inputs. They receive or generate events and pass those events into a ruleset for further processing.
You need at least one active service. Without a service, WinSyslog does not collect any data.
A few points matter in practice:
Actual services process events.
Service defaults are only templates for creating new service instances.
Multiple service instances are possible when their ports and settings do not conflict.
Use the service pages below when you need to choose the right input type or understand what a specific listener does.
