What?  Syslog?

Set up a secured box, with syslogd:

  loghost# syslogd -a 192.186/16

Have this machine configured to write many machines' logs into
whatever scheme you find useful for analysis.

Have your other boxes have syslogd configured with something as
simple as:

  *.* @loghost

There are additional steps you can take to keep syslogd immune from
DNS outages; read the manpages.

Make sure all fo your boxes are syncroninzed via NTP.
