It is one option that is definitely in vanilla CentOS.

Whew. Large scale remote syslog operation is a large subject; I've never had anything large-enough scale to need more than logwatch or site-grown scripts to do processing. The biggest thing to do is set up NTP and have three reference time sources (three so that if one is wrong you know which one). Otherwise, log correlation is impossible.

Yep, that you did.

While CentOS doesn't provide nginx itself, it does provide tools for dealing with logs; I saw several things doing a 'yum list | grep log' (I know there's easier ways of doing that; that's just the way I prefer to go about it). Also try grepping a yum list for 'watch' as I remember some logwatching stuff.....
