Me too.

The *nix version of Synchronet uses the syslog() POSIX function to send log messages to a local logging subsystem (e.g. syslog/rsyslogd).

       "syslog() generates a log message, which will be distributed by syslogd(8)."

I'm no syslog expert, but I believe you can configure a system logger to forward messages to loggers on other systems.

      "Rsyslogd  is a system utility providing support for message logging.  Support of both internet and unix domain sockets enables this utility to support both local and remote logging."

I'm not familiar with use of syslog from Windows applictions/servers/services.

Apology accepted.
