Works fine for me with syslog-ng syslogd: $ ls -lF /dev/log srw-rw-rw- 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 May 29 22:37 /dev/log= $ logger test $ tail -1 /var/log/syslog | cygcheck-hrsv.sed Jun 1 07:04:52 $HOSTNAME $USER: test As logger sends messages to /dev/log which may be a regular file, not a UNIX domain socket, or syslog UDP socket on port 514, in syslog format, rather than calling openlog/closelog/syslog(3), the messages may not go to the fallback Windows Event Log. You should ensure that /dev/log does not exist as a regular file, as that could affect logging: $ ls -lF /dev/log If not a socket (= flag), check the contents for your logging tests. Then delete /dev/log, and retest. You may need to run something like: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18086/Syslog-daemon-for-Windows-Eventlog to put syslog messages into the Windows Event Log. -- Take care.
