Hi, I can tell you how I have integrated my own open source log monitoring tool, LMF, with Nagios.
http://lmf.sf.net/ Pretty easy: 1) I think swatch has 'triggers' that can be called whe events happen, yes? If so, install send_nsca on the monitored host, and create a wrapper script that sends an event to Nagios with send_nsca 2) Create a passive check for the service on your Nagios instance, don't forget to set a freshness command that resets the check back to 'ok' after an amount of time with no events. 3) I also use PNP to then graph events for trending. Attached is a screenshot of my LMF graphs over time for SSH attack attempts against one host as detected by LMF .. top of the graph intentionally cut off to hide the host name :). Regards, Max
