I really like some of the new centralized logging systems like
http://logstash.net/. It can handle loads of different sources and sinks and
when you throw in the full power of elasticsearch searching for interesting
data is an order of magnitude more powerful then what we currently have on
z/OS. You can throw your distributed systems into the mix for a nice holistic
view of your entire stack.

The last time I was involved in this in a serious way, all of the "central
loggers" (Ca-UNICENTER, HP-???,.....), regardless of the underlying HW platform,
all ran into scaling issues as the quantity of data being processed increased.
Can you remember what the bottleneck was? When you consider that you can
buy a 32-core server with SSD disk for peanuts and network latencies are
dramatically shrinking it may not still be the case. I know it's heresy
on this list
but in the distributed world they would just add another server and/or
add more grunt to the network.
