We've had a system in place that does just this for a few years now. We use a product called LogCaster by Rippletech (http://www.rippletech.com). It's fairly inexpensive and does a lot more than consolidate event logs. It's a wonderful tool that is amazingly customizable. It uses SQL server as a database and reporting services for canned reports. If you know the SQL reporting services, it's a snap to create your own. The company has a great support team. They give yearly checkups to make sure your install is working and that you don't have any questions or problems. It also can gather Syslog events. It checks performance metrics, has alerting, etc... It's fairly inexpensive also.

Enjoy the researching, I know I have. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Raoul Armfield Sent: 05 October 2007 17:44 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Network event viewer We are looking into a low cost easy to setup software that will consolidate the eventlogs of our servers in one location. I found a product called Network Event Viewer by a company called Corner Bowl Software. You can direct the eventlogs into a SQL database and also you can have it send emails based on criteria you specify. So far I am just saying basically what the webpage says. I was wondering if any of you have experience using this product and what your thoughts are? If you have additional suggestions on low cost solutions I would be happy to entertain them as well.
