I use Netconsole for routine monitoring.

See Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt

Example for kernel command line

You don't want to hassle with netcat.

Many sysloggers can log udp

I use syslog-ng. Excerpts from configuration:

source netlog { 
	udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(4450)); 
};

destination netlog
{ 
	file("/var/log/netlog"); 
};

log 
{ 
	source(netlog); 
	destination("netlog"); 
	flags(final); 
};
