That's my script actually :-)

Ah. It was written with swatch-3.1beta in mind. I had too many problems with
other versions, and 3.1beta has that threshold support too which is pretty
cool.

In the end I dropped the $timestamp_regex references anyway: they didn't
work reliably in my environment as our syslog server is logging rather more
detail than Parse::Syslog can handle. In the end I had to preprocess my
syslog stream before piping it into swatch - now it works beautifully
