Perhaps rsyslog?
http://www.rsyslog.com
========================================
"Among others, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable
syslog over TCP, SSL, TLS and RELP, writing to databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, and many more), email alerting, fully configurable output formats
(including high-precision timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of
the syslog message, on-the-wire message compression, and the ability to
convert text files to syslog. It is a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd
and able to work with the same configuration file syntax."
========================================
It's in portage.
