I answered this earlier.

1) setup a syslog server

On logmachine.example.com you need to start syslogd with the -r switch
to enable accepting remote log messages. On RedHat that's done by
editing /etc/sysconfig/syslog and adding -r to SYSLOGD_OPTIONS so it
looks like: SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r"

2) setup the clients to syslog to remote server

To set machines to log centrally, edit /etc/syslog.conf and add a line
like:
*.info @logmachine.example.com
