Hi,

We're evaluating solutions for managing a centralized log server for
our systems. The only thing that I'm able to pull up any information
on is syslog-ng. Are there any other Open Source or commercial
applications used for maintaining a central system to manage the
syslogs of numerous other systems?

However, syslog-ng is a good chaice too. We are managing a hundrets of
*nix boxes without any problem. Very good to customize and scales
pretty good.
