My wifi Access Point can send logs to a syslog service. So I decided to set up such a service. This turned out to be very easy.
Edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog and set:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r"
Restart the syslogd daemon.
You now need to open the port 514/udp or allow connection from the access point. For instance:
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.0.50 -j ACCEPT
The service is up a running and can receive logs:
