There are many tools out there, some free and some licensed. For windows you can try out the Kiwi syslog server (http://www.kiwisyslog.com/kiwi-syslog-server-overview/) for starters. You can use the GUI to view the syslogs sent from the devices on the Kiwi syslog server provided you have your syslog configuration setup properly and IP reachability between the routers/switches and the syslog server. Also ensure that if there are any firewalls in the path they allow syslog communication to go through.

Over time you will need to tune your syslog configuration on your end nodes so that your syslog server is not inundated with syslog data (set syslog levels appropriately).
