Ask HN: How to consolidate logs across server farm?

[bastlynn]

For various reasons, I need to consolidate a set of php logs from my load balanced servers. I doubt I'm the first to need to tackle this problem, so I wanted to look for some advice on the matter.

What are some good starting points for me to research?

How does this compare to using a Spread based solution, if you've had a chance to play with alternatives?
