I have a central management server. It runs Nagios, Munin, Cacti, and 
Syslog-ng. I have Syslog-ng configured with these lines.

# Begin
source remote { udp(); tcp(port(514) keep-alive(no)); };
destination remote_hosts 
{ file("/var/log/remote_hosts/$HOST/$FACILITY.log"); };
log { source(remote); destination(remote_hosts); };
# End

These lines configure Syslog-ng to accept connections from remote systems and 
place the logs in to a host specific directory. I run syslog-ng on all my 
linux servers.

I have not setup the monitoring yet, it is on my todo list. There are a number 
of log checks in the Nagios Exchange.

Enjoy,
Syd
