I am not aware of a single package that will do all that you want, but a
combination of a few packages should get you there.  I use syslog-ng for
aggregating logs from many servers, and I think it far surpasses the
standard udp syslog daemon for reliability.  Running logcheck and/or
logtool on the syslog server to parse the raw logs will get you pattern
matching and various reporting possibilities.

It's far more powerful in filtering too.  When pump was filling my

/dev/null them.

rsyslog may be what you are searching for

syslog recommendations?

2007-09-28 Thread Rogelio Bastardo
I'm looking for a few F/OSS syslog programs -- one easy to use (sort of like
Kiwi syslog) and another that's much more scalable and would let me, say,
aggregate logs from lots of different boxes and maybe even do other sorts of
cool things (find patterns, etc).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
