Offhand I don't know of any specific software (although
I am sure some exists) you could do this cheaply and easily
with perl (or your scripting language of choice) and
store the event logs into a database like MySQL.

You mentioned having to walk over to the machine to check
the event logs, which you don't need to do. Using the Event
Viewer MMC snap-in you can view the event logs remotely on
any machine you have access privelages to.

I am currently administering over 10 server(advanced) and 20 workstation
(pro), The management of event/security/application log has become
unbeareable,so im looking for a centralized management solution were the
informatin would be gather from server/workstation to a specific server, so
the question is: Anyone aware of such a software
that could do the job ? commercial or freeware, I basically just want to
avoid having to walk over to check them manually.

also if anyone who has faced this situation is willing to share
their knowledge on the subject...

Thanks
