Event log counts...

List, I am currently working on implementing a windows syslog solution in which Win2k servers will dump their application/system/security event logs to a (likely Kiwi) syslog server in our environment. One of the questions that needs to get answered in order to implement such a solution is "How many total event log entries are we generating per minute/hour/day/week/month across all 200 of our servers?" I'm currently at a loss as to how to answer this question, and so I'm turning to the list for ideas. At first, I was thinking about just picking a small representative sample of our servers, and counting the number of events generated in a set period of time. However, I've had a very hard time picking a small representative sample of our overall server farm, and from my (albeit somewhat limited) research into this avenue, there doesn't appear to be one. Is there a way that I could query this kind of information somewhere in Windows? In the AD? NetIQ App Manager? Do you guys know of any sort of utility that I could load that would help me determine event counts? Should I write my own? Could I find this information by querying WMI in a small VB app or something? You ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
