Is it possible to export Windows event logs from multiple servers to a non-windows host, without running event manager on each of the Windows servers?

I want to export event logs from Windows to a non-Windows host. I was considering using Logstash, but that would seem to require that I install and run Logstash on each server. Is it possible to do this without having to run it on all of the servers?

I am hoping to be able to consolidate all of the information from different servers to make searching and reporting much easier.

If not, what would you recommend is the best way to export to a non-Windows host in real time?

Thank you.
