Forwarding logs to syslog.

Hi all.

I'm having some windows server that are subscribed to a nxlog server, who in turn sends the windows logs to a linux/syslog server.

The syslog receives all these logs as NOTICE.USER which is not too practical.

I would want the nxlog to keep the criticity of the message when forwarding them. I would want nxlog to prefix the logs with the original log sender hostname so that they appear as $PROGRAM in syslog.

Also, is there a way to use some criterions to send logs from nxlog to syslog using different facilities (USER, MAIL, LOCALn,...) according to some criterions (real PROGRAM value for instance)
