On our Graylog server we have GELF over TCP enabled. I use the following as a prototype Windows Server config file, with all relevant log paths defined for various services. We then just erase the lines we dont' want. I don't think I've seen a sample template, so this would have been useful when I was first building. Important to note, we didn't find any useful logs in event log for sharepoint, sccm, SQL Server, IIS, or Dynamics CRM, they log separately:
