Build a log server for Linux systems in Windows environment

Why Linux log servers are installed:

As we all know, Linux is a perfect log system operating system. When the system administrator is running the maintenance server, it is unavoidable to view the log file, when the server is wrong, the error is not to view the system log. When administrators manage a network with more than one Linux server, and the server is more decentralized, management run to the various servers to view the system log is troublesome. So, we can build a log server, all the Linux system generated logs, are sent to the log server. Administrators only need to view log files in the log server.
