Hello, The answer is yes - nxlog is an often used client on Windows that will collect event logs as requested. I haven’t used nxlog on XP in a while, but I believe it works just fine. All of the other OS’s listed work as well. This is the page that will get you started: [http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.3/pages/collector\_sidecar.html](http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.3/pages/collector_sidecar.html) At the most basic level you will install nxlog and configure it to do “GELF” output to your graylog server. The sidecar application allows you to centralize the configuration of those nxlog clients. Dustin ---
