The native/internal modules of db writes and alerting of rsyslog sound
promising. There's a comparison here:
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-rsyslog_ng_comparison.html

Portage isn't in sync with rsyslogs development tree yet. Latest in
v3-stable is 3.20.0, which appears to build OK. I don't know if there
are any gentoo specific gotchas, not much experience with it
yet....everything seems fine...
