You can try something like this:

require 'socket'
require 'win32/eventlog'
include Win32

syslog_dest = 13
syslog_port = 514
syslog_server = '192.168.123.122'

s = UDPSocket.new
EventLog.open('Application').tail{ |log|
   message = "WinEventLog 
#{log.time_generated.asctime}||#{log.event_type}||#{log.source}||#{log.computer}||#{log.user}||#{log.description}"
   s.send("<#{syslog_dest}>#{message}",0,syslog_server,syslog_port)
}
