Doesn't syslog-ng just consolidate the logs, it doesn't really monitor
anything right?

If you will be monitoring event logs, you may want to look at
applications made for monitoring event logs.
One application that works well for us is syslog-ng.

Yes, but you may have to use the NSClient++ agent on your Windows boxes 
and create custom commands to do it.

Unfortunately, I deleted the Windows event log checks after I didn't 
need them any more, so I don't have a working example configuration to 
show you.
