[brlug-general] open source tools for centralized logging?

[Ronnie Gilkey]

Splunk (http://www.splunk.com) is a pretty nice log consolidation
system.  For more than 500MB of logs a day it requires a license.  There
are tools (like SNARE) that can grab the data from M$ hosts and send it
to Splunk.

However, there is only one UNIX admin (me) with a few servers for a small group and four Windows admins handling many servers for the entire network, so it makes more sense to use a Windows server for keeping these logs.
