Log4j Log Aggregators?

I have sixteen servers using Log4J logs, accessible by ssh. I want to see the output of all logs on my de开发者_运维知识库sktop machine.

Apache Chainsaw can presumably do this, but the documentation isn't getting me there. "Put all the jars into your ~/.chainsaw directory", got that. "Chainsaw will automatically use the functionality in those JARs"? Nope. Chainsaw isn't picking up log4j-chainsaw-vfs.jar, by the look of it, so sftp is out.

Any suggestions other than Chainsaw?

Splunk offers log aggregration as well as searching/indexing and so on. My IT SysAdmin friend says it's 'tits'. I've never used it myself.

AFAIK There is a free version which allows up to 300 mb of log data, and a commercial version which allows unlimited log data.
