syslog-ng, as the name shows, is a syslogd replacement, but with new 
functionality for the new generation. The original syslogd allows messages only 
to be sorted based on priority/facility pairs; syslog-ng adds the possibility to 
filter based on message contents using regular expressions. The new configuration 
scheme is intuitive and powerful. Forwarding logs over TCP and remembering all 
forwarding hops makes it ideal for firewalled environments. 

syslog-ng is in use primarily on Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD, and should be quite 
easily ported to other BSD-like Unixes
