i've always been happy with syslog-ng for sorting/filtering/storing
syslog messages from hosts/devices.  it's incredibly flexible in what
you can do with the messages.

the hard part for me was typically after that, when i wanted a way to
get a good summary/report of the logs i.e. visualizing the mass of
information.
