    I've been looking a bit on google/sourceforge/etc to try and find a more
    configurable and extensible syslog server, to no avail. Does anyone
    know of such a thing? If nothing is out there already, I'll probably
    embark on a project to do it myself. I'm thinking of a config format
    somewhat like this:

    # commands for syslog facility "XXX"
    Facility XXX {
      # Send message to stdin of a script which can send alerts, etc
      Severity emerg ACTION /usr/local/libexec/parse-emerg.sh
      # 192.168.47.9 - sample dhcp server
      Host "192.168.47.9" {
        # log stuff from the dhcp server to a seperate file
        Severity warn FILE /var/adm/dhcp.log
      }
      # send other stuff to a default file
      Severity DEFAULT FILE /var/adm/xxx.log
    }

    Of course, this is just an example off the top of my head of some of the
    functionality I'd like - for example, piping out to a smart script,
    sending to different files based on host that sent the message, etc
    etc. I look forward to your input. Thanks, Matt.
