Check out the Kiwi syslog at http://www.kiwi-enterprises.com

I run it here on a Win2K system and it works great.  It has a customizable
set of filters, you should be able to get it to log just about any
combination of levels that you want. 

I don't know of any type of rulesets for determining how much space your log
files will take up, but I can tell you I have 10 fairly chatty systems
dumping events into it, and my log files average about 500KB a day.

Subject: about a syslog server




Hello all. I am researching the creation of a syslog 
server on a WinNT or Win2k platform. My goal is to 
enable 24/7 logging of 25+ Cisco routers (no 
servers). There is a mix of Internet and Intranet 
routers involved. I have 3 questions about this. First, 
is there a solid 3rd party syslog program that anyone 
can recommend for this? Second, is it true that by 
choosing to log level 4 (warning) issues that I will also 
automatically log levels 0 thru 3? Finally, is there a 
any documented baseline rule for determining how 
much disk space usage I can expect to accumulate 
per day? I have to find out what size drive I would 
need. This last question has been a tough one; I 
haven't been able to locate any documented formula 
for this. Thanks in advance for your help.
