Its possible for windows log files to be pushed to named pipes. My understanding of such named pipes is that they can be remote servers.

Named pipes can be used to provide communication between processes on the same computer or between processes on different computers across a network. Windows Documentation on Named Pipes

Linux also has a feature called named pipes. Are these the same / interoperable? Stack Over flow disscuion of network named pipes in linux Why use named pipes on Linux

I would like to use a remote log collector (Telegraf/Logstash etc) to collect these logs when sent over the network. I do not want to install an agent on the windows machine.

I want a dataflow that looks like this:

Windows event --> Named pipe --> (network) ---> Log Collector (Linux) --> DB --> Dashboard

I can see a telegram plugin called pipe but this looks to be an agent?https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/clients/promtail/pipelines/
