For critical logfiles check_log might be a little slow ...
I use wots, adapted and extended so it's able to be used for multiple
logfiles that rotate (and don't miss any lines) or have names that
change, and uses regex's. It is set up as a daemon (so it checks your
files continuously by keeping a non-blocking filedescriptor open) on the
client and sends passive results to icinga or gearman. I use it in the
banking sector for immediate notification of problems, hasn't failed me
once.
If you're interested:

it contains examples that should help you along.
