How to store each log separately by using remote syslog server

Hello,

I have a question.

One of my clients want to store log during a year.

So I recommended remote syslog server and I set it in the host. (udp://x.x.x.x:514)

after that, It is possible to store the log during a year.

All of logs are sent to remote syslog server, and It store in same file.

But he want to store each log separately (For example, vmkernel.log and Auth.log... not a same file)

I know that there is a no way to store like it each.

Is there any way? or Is there syslog software to store each log separately ?

If you use something like Log Insight, you can easily filter and then export logs from all hosts based on the source file into which it was written. No syslog servers actually store all the source messages in similar files, AFAIK. That's not really how they work.
