on solaris it is handled by syslogd

You are able to edit the /etc/syslog.conf and redirect the logs and even specify what level should be logged.

Here are the log levels:

1. emerg 2. alert 3. crit 4. err 5. warning 6. notice 7. info 8. debug

But you can redirect everything to a loghost. This way everything is centralized.

I hope this is what you asked for
