I like Kiwi Syslog Daemon and I can highly recomend the use of it. We use it to collect information from different devices (routers, servers, clients) in our Intranet and then send filtered information to a *nix syslog server (with oracle db) for storage, backup and centralized analyzis.

We have a custom-built php tool running on the *nix and with that can we easilly trace and read changes on screen (via browser). And ofcourse custom built scripts for automated processes/tasks (filter, import, backup, export, import etc).

Hmm lots of text and nothing really to add except that Kiwi is a good tool .
