If you are running Linux, have you tried logwatch? O logchecker?

Here are a few links:

Asunto: Log Help


Hi Everyone
I was wondering if there were some suggestions on utilities to monitor
logs 
and if anyone has used them ?

Im looking for a assistant to help me with my log reading. I know logs
are 
important and that if I dont read them I am setting myself up for
trouble in 
many ways Security wise or other wise. The problem I have is there is so
darn 
many of them and being basically a lazy person I want to get the
computer to 
help me sort them all and monitor them all. I hate having to hunt down
logs 
scattered all over the place, and admittedly linux is tons better than
other 
operating systems I have used, its still a pain for me.  
Can I scan my logs for keywords and have the bot email me if it picks up
pre 
designated phrases or code words? Can I have a bot take predetermined
actions 
based on log entries? I want to shift the burden a little bit onto the 
computer and give me more time to think rather than react....

Any help , thoughts, comments, suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks

Matt
