Yep...I'm planning on using SysLogHandler. Although if I were to use rsyslog, for example, I might potentially be better off using tcp or even doing it using rfc 3195. Sysloghandler uses udp...I imagine that will be faster but with less reliability. I'll have to think about that. Has anyone implemented a library for rfc 3195, or would I have to do that from scratch.
I was more curious as to what people are using to receive the messages? Syslog-ng? traditoinal? rsyslog? Home grown solutions? I know syslog is already running, but I'm not sure the traditional version could keep up with all the traffic I'm going to have. Anyone know how well it scales compared to the alternatives?
