Re: central logging to a database

i'd like to stay with syslog (or a software capable of providing syslog like capabilities) so that i don't have to care about every package.

i'm thinking of using syslog to forward everything to a central loghost, which can be done easily. from that loghost i'd like to write to a database, now i'm just concerned with breaking the carefully crafted code from logging daemons not to loose messages and just have a bad feeling about using a pipe and a shelll script that loops in "while true;logging stuff;done" manner as described all over the web

so the question really is if this solution really "breaks" that much or if it is reliable enough to use it for logging
