system logs stored to one location?

[Guest]

I'm looking for a way to compile all of my computers logs into one location
(one of my servers or somewhere). I would then like to be able to put them
all in one file or something like that so I can sort through them and see
important events, such as drive failures and things. This way we can know
about events and warnings before our clients have to tell us about them.
Anybody know of any way to have the event viewer log redirected to a remote
computer?

Thanks,
Jason

There are *three* logs for Event Viewer:

AppEvent.Evt = Application
SecEvent.Evt = Security
SysEvent.Evt = System

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\AppEvent.Evt
C:\WINDOWS\System32\config\SecEvent.Evt
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SysEvent.Evt

I don't know if they can be moved or not.

To select another computer (Event Viewer)
