Sounds like the perfect application for netconsole.

I have a raspberry pi that runs some stuff, on that I installed udplogger : https://lwn.net/Articles/571589/
Run with : /usr/local/bin/udplogger port=6666 dir=/root/udplogs/

I have a number of machines set up with netconsole on the command line, or loaded after boot. There are easier ways to do this, but for whatever reason this is what I use (I honestly don't recall) :

    DEST=192.168.24.218
    mount none -t configfs /sys/kernel/config
    mkdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target1
    pushd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target1
    echo 192.168.24.1 > local_ip
    echo $DEST > remote_ip
    echo br0 > dev_name
    arping -c1 $DEST | grep -o ..:..:..:..:..:.. > remote_mac
    echo 1 > enabled
    popd


Or on the kernel command line :
netconsole=6666@192.168.24.187/eth0,6666@192.168.42.218/ab:cd:ef:12:34:56

That way I pretty much always get the oops that never makes it to disk.
