We went with syslog-ng for collecting logs, storing them on filesystem 
(Rotated monthly, saved for a year) and sending them to a mysql-server 
which phpsyslog-ng uses to display data for easy search / glances.

Works really well.

We use this version of phpsyslogng:

and one of all guides is this one:
