Hi, as you mentioned before, lots of market product are able to do something like you need.
I think it's not necessary to log every message to an external system if your goal is to msg an alert system for selectioned messages. If so, in the past we used our standard monitoring suite (BMC Autoperator those times) to route a subset of messages (already tailored at the purpose) to z/OS USS log and set up this log (it's a standard unix log) to remote logging to a log concentrator. It's possibile to write your own "syslog listener" even though a standard product maybe better and simpler. Hope this can help.
