I'm using syslog-ng. It does the job.A nice little rsync script is nice, but you're still storing log files on the individual servers until you run some rsync and delete script. This can be risky if resources are limited or machines are ephemeral.
NFS has its own issues as well. You've got to ask yourself "What's my plan B" and write that into your logging config/scripts.

So how are people out there in mailing list land handling centralized
logging?
I'd like to mirror my web farm's logfiles on a central server, but want
to be sure to preserve the W3C-ness so it's easy to run awstats, etc
against them from off this central box.
The options I see so far are:
- Piping to syslog via external process (perl script, etc).
* Downside being that we end up with syslog timestamps
- Pipe to something like netcat
* Custom-ish / hacky
- Fire off some sort of synchronization process from central box to
pull in logs (rsync) periodically.
* Asynchronous -- there's a somewhat large window of time where
logs will be missing on the internal server.
- Log directly to shared, remote file server (via NFS)
* Log server network issues or technical problems could affect
Apache servers
How do you guys typically deal with this?
