Anyone using syslog-ng / sec for host log monitoring?

[Daniel maher]

I've currently got a site set up where numerous Windows and Linux
machines are reporting to the Nagios box, which is running syslog-ng.
I've got syslog-ng set up to pipe each log stream to a separate file,
which helps to keep things nice and segregated; this, of course, also
means that I don't have to worry about writing match strings with the
server name, since each server has it's own file.

If so, are you running sec locally for each host or are you using
syslog-ng to consolidate all logs on one central host and then running
sec there?  I am currently consolidating all syslogs on one server (my
nagios server) and then using sec to parse all messages as they come in.
I'm finding that it's a little trickier to write the match strings when
you have to take the server name into account.

Thanks,
Brian
