I aimed send log file (not /var/log/* all kind of application log files) from a system to remote syslog server. Nice part ; using multiple cpu, runs as a deamon , and it is configurable :) - you can specify any file, you can search specific keywords or you can send all lines. all syslog proprieties are also configurable .
Probably you cant see all code so please select all start from to
#!/usr/bin/python to the end and then paste. You will see all codes.
Description: This threaded python script checks text files which defined in parameter file and (if you want you can specify search keywords) send lines to syslog server (with server, port, facility,priority) or any local file. It runs in daemon mode.

#Description: This threaded python script checks text files which defined in parameter file and
# (if you want you can specify search keywords) send lines to syslog
# server (with server, port, facility,priority) or any local file.
# It runs in daemon mode.
# Threads depends on logfile count*2.

#======================================================================
#Parameter file content:
#;Log parameters for logtrace python script
#;
#;Put your parameter file (logparam.ini) and script in the same directory
#;
#;Each section [] starts with logfile_??
#;
#;logfilename: Put your file name here search for logtext_?? and send each line to syslog server or any local file.
#;
#;logfacility: auth,authpriv,cron,daemon,kern,lpr,mail,news,security,syslog,user,uucp
#; local0,local1,local2,local3,local4,local5,local6,local7
#; You can configure your syslog server which facility will be written to files.
#; Check syslog documentation for priority and facility.
#;
#;logpriority: alert,crit,debug,emerg,err,error,info,notice,panic,warn,warning
#; You can configure syslog server which priority will be written to files.
#; Check syslog documentation for priority and facility
#;
#;logserver: Ip adress of your syslog server.
#; Please check syslog server has started with -r option and syslog.conf
#; is configured to write to relative log file (messages etc.).
#; You can find further information in syslog documentation.
#; If you want to send logs another file in local system
#; (except syslog controlled files messages,cron,boot etc)
#; leave empty logport option leave empty logport option
#;
#;logport: syslog port, default 514.
#;
#;timeout: frequeny of log file control.
#;
#;logtext_??: search text for you log file. Use '' for sending all of new records.You can append more search.
