There have already been some good solutions mentioned.

I'd like to add that if you are more into rolling your own solution,
there are some good open source solutions, namely OSSEC.  You'll need a
little more than OSSEC to create a good log management solution, but
it's a great foundation.

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.
