  Nagios does not do log management in any real way other than log scan
  alarms.

  How do you want to "manage" your logs?
  1. Rotation?
  2. Retention on a central (fleet of) log box(en)?
  3. Indexing?
  4. Log scan alarms?
  5. What am I leaving off here?

  Nagios can do (4), and that's all, to the best of my knowledge. Note
  that I know Nagios v1.3 very well, and versions after that not at
  all,
  so my knowledge could be too dated to matter. But I doubt that
  they've
  extended Nagios in a major architectural way to log management, since
  monitoring is its raison d'etre, and log management is monitoring not
  at all.
