Thanks you for your quick reply,

I knew that SEC would be the next step for  the log management system i set
up. 
I just hoped that rsyslog could support a simple comparison of the last n
log of a specific host/severity  

>>if you get the same message from two different machines do you consider it
the same message or two different messages, both of which should generate
alerts?
I'm considering two  different alert in order to see the impact  that a link
failure could have on each host for example.
The main issue  is that an alert is lost. I don't really care about alerting
every critical log in the 5 minute window.  Just want to see which host is
complaining and briefly what it is saying.  
A solution might be to divide my configuration with Rainerscript to put the
logs in different action for each host. But  for scalability  reason i'm not
really sure to implement this.   

i remain curious to know what is the outcome of using imfile with ommail. If
you can go further on on this point of configuration  it will be great.
