I'm running Synchronet on Windows. I have most of my other services on dozens of machines sending log data to a central Windows syslog server.
I would LOVE to get Synchronet to do that as well. Possible?

If you run Synchronet on Windows a NT services, then all the log output goes to the Synchronet Event log:
https://wiki.synchro.net/monitor:ntsvcs
I don't have experience with it, but apparently using something like EventReporter, you can forward all Windows event log messages to a syslog server.
I would much prefer to have Synchronet send log entries directly to a remote syslog server. If this seems too difficult to implement, I won't keep pushing the idea.
Nobody's ever made the request before. <shrug>
Quite a lot of functionality is lost by running Synchronet as a service.

keep pushing the idea.

Since it sounds like you are talking about windows, this may not be an option, but I think that rsyslog gives you the option to send the output to
a remote syslog server. That should mean that individual software programs don't need to know how to do it on their own.

I am talking Windows.
I manage multiple mail, s/ftp, im, firewall, and other servers spread
out all over the World on a variety of OSes. Most of these are able to
send messages to a central syslog server.
There's also an IDS system sending syslog alerts.
Currently, Synchronet's logs are bundled up by some scripts that forward them to syslog. I would like to remove the delay this introduces to
that to, for instance, update my firewall against hack attempts.

Are you using a Syslog Agent for Windows?
Do your other Windows applications have built-in syslog support? Are they open source?
If you know, what format syslog msgs are you/they using: BSD or IETF format?
