Peter Czanik has written a good summary and comparison of such GUIs a 
couple of months ago which summary covers a lot of the suggestions 
others sent:

Also, a shameless plug: if you're interested in commercial offerings, 
drop me a mail off-list -- we here at BalaBit sell such a 
"syslog-ng-as-an-appliance-with-a-webGUI" product called syslog-ng Store 
Box, which can be just what you need.

greets,
