Event Log Monitor Program

["Adam Savage" <Adam_Savage () skillsoft com>]

     I'm looking for a good event log program that can consolidate all my event logs from my servers into one location. 
Then I can report on them and such. We purchased GFI Security Event Log Monitor but we find the program cumbersome at 
best and doesn't give you any insight on some of the event messages that are produced.  I'd like to know if there is a 
freeware/opensource solution.  I know GFI has recently come out with the Successor to SELM called EventsManager but 
we'd like to look into some other products that are out there first.

Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Adam
