The syslog-ng application is a flexible and highly scalable system logging application that is ideal for creating centralized and trusted logging solutions. This free, open-source version is an extremely well-developed, high performance, stable system being the Linux/Unix world's most frequently used alternative central logging system. The application can operate in server or agent mode, and - apart from UDP - supports the reliable TCP and the encrypted TLS protocols. That way syslog-ng can be used to create flexible and reliable logging infrastructure even in heterogeneous environments. This requires eventlog. For SQL support, you also need libdbi. For more information on how to install and run syslog-ng, see README.SLACKWARE that came with this package (which is also installed with the docs).
