Charles-

I've heard good thinks about Splunk (splunk.org) though I haven't really
kicked the tires myself yet. Splunk can index and search all kinds of
system and network log data in near real-time and has some alerting
functions as well.

It's free for up to 500MB of log data per day. More than that requires a
license.

Hey everyone,

      What would you all recommend for central log management? We are
currently looking at GFI eventmanager. The ideal solution will combine
the monitoring of both windows and linux logs, and have the ability to
generate alerts based on our settings.

      Recommendations of things to look at as well as things to avoid
is appreciated.
