I've been wanting to implement a serious replacement for syslog for about
6 years, but the right tuit has not turned up. Until then syslog is the
best solution for producing this kind of thing:

That's counting messages accepted per second across a cluster of
(currently) 6 machines. Each machine acts in one of 6 different roles
depending on the IP address and port you connect to. Syslog collects the
logs and pipes them in real time into the graphing software. It isn't 100%
reliable nor massively scalable but it is balge.
