Hello Gavin,

We have a large number of locations around the world with a number of servers in each. We use rsyslog to handle this, as we are able to use encrypted connections back to the central servers.

Also each location has an aggregation host, so not all servers have to connect back to the central ones.

check out rsyslog.com, they also have a basic GUI, tho I have not used it. On the win32 side of things, not sure what you could do there ..

Hi all,

If logging all logs via syslog to a central syslog server that are all Centos based, what GUIs are out there to browse them etc. ? I know about splunk but don't want to go down that route.

Also, some servers are hosted and would be best not sending their logs across the net to a central syslog (although we could openvpn them in), so can the same system be setup to receive logwatch emails?

Any tips or best practices for this above and beyond just a central syslog server would be very appreciated. Server numbers are in the double figures and some are Windows (would be nice to get some of those 'logs' too - snare?).

Thanks.
