i use logsurfer. it uses regex, is taught to ignore messages,
rather than look out for particular messages, handles contexts -
"i've seen XYZ message, i want to whinge, but i'll wait & see
if ABC message arrives before i annoy you via SMS/pager/email/whatever".
it looks at any text file, handles log files.

& it's free - src available from:

hope this helps,
pauline
