Depends, event forwarding is quite weird and broken. Default settings delay and buffer events for quite some time so that an attacker can easily suppress unsent event buffers. Crashes are also usually missed because buffered events have not been sent in time. That can be configured down, but all the provided defaults are useless.
Also, encryption and authentication for log forwaring is bound to AD Kerberos credentials that frequently expire, leaving you without logs again.
Any old syslog client and server is far superior in all the aspects mentioned.
- kwdc 5y agoReading your comments it seems like you have had a bad time. I hope you moved over to linux or similar instead. Otherwise there's a lot of optimisation required in your AD with clean up of multiple areas required. Likely issues with network infrastructure as well. Also, event forwarding isn’t the only way.
