splunk is great for searching logs (I have a large cluster of machines for doing exactly this), but in terms of gathering and transporting logs, it's far from the best.

take a look at syslog-ng and rsyslog and the options they have to gather data from log files written by other apps.

those are on my list. It's mostly an issue of upgrading servers at this point to version that support them.
