5.1. Installing the syslog-ng agent

The syslog-ng Agent for Windows application can be installed in standalone mode on independent hosts. If your hosts are members of a domain, you can install the syslog-ng agent on the domain controller and configure them globally.

To install the syslog-ng Agent for Windows application in standalone mode, see Section 5.1.1, “Installing the syslog-ng agent in standalone mode”.
To install the syslog-ng Agent for Windows application on the members of a domain, see Section 5.1.2, “Installing the syslog-ng agent on the domain controller and the hosts of a domain”.

	Note
	The syslog-ng Agent for Windows application is configured usually using its MMC snap-in (when managed globally from the domain controller). However, it is also possible to use an XML-based configuration file. See Section 5.7, “Using an XML-based configuration file” for details.
