Integrate on-premise windows syslog server with Sentinel
Hi
Our on-premise environment is totally Windows based, no linux systems or skill and we want to integrate our Sentinel environment with our on-premise Windows syslog server - kiwi - is it possible to set up the log forwarders on a windows box rather than a linux one, as it would be the only linux vm we would have
Thanks
Alistair
