I had checked out release 3.0 of "Adiscon EvntSLog", and just found that an
improved version 3.1 has become available, a few days ago. A demo version can be
fetched from <http://www.Adiscon.com/EvntSLog/>. (Fully functional; just sends a
reminder to pay $20 per licence to syslog, once in a while ...)

Release 3.0 had a few small deficiencies (configuration, format of messages),
but according to the release notes just these points have been addressed in 3.1.

Does anybody know about better products that serve the same purpose ?

looked at for evaluation, and which was too good to be dropped from my list of
interesting building blocks for a planned larger system ;-)
