<div dir="ltr">So, rsyslog rotation works fine on Linux, but we can't do that on Windows. If we have to do something different for Windows, I'd rather just do one thing which is cross platform compatible for all our OSes, and not have to support a different configuration for each OS. Doing it all in-application also insulates us from external dependencies... if some future or past Ubuntu series (or CentOS) has a different version of rsyslog, it could behave differently / require a different configuration, etc.<div>

</div>Do the standard rsyslog log rotation mechanisms not function well?<br>
<br>
On Windows, what about the event log (which has remote<br>
