looking, it appears to be acceptibly licensed (Apache 2.0), 
but not yet packaged in EPEL or Fedora.  Durably solving .jar 
dependencies in RPM are always a challenge for me, as there is 
the tension between packaging and dependency resolution 
systems 

... I have historically just used the 'more Unixy' and long 
since in RHEL / Fedora: rsyslog and before that syslog, which 
do not carry the packaging hassle.  Each of which are pretty 
straightforward to set up iptables on the receiver, and remote 
syslogging on the sender

but I will experiment a bit
