What I really implied was the ability to "tail -f" to continuously watch the syslog for new events and send them to an external system. I'm finding a lot of solutions to get at the system but we want to create a real-time alerting mechanism using the distributed tools that we already have available. There is commercial software out there, but this seems like a basic function on any modern enterprise operating system. I'm guessing that it is just a matter of piecing together the parts that everyone has already built.
