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.
