Nagios + Logsurfer or Swatch?

[Emmett Hogan]

Hi Folks,

I need to be able to scan log files looking for several different 
strings, and sometimes the number of times a string appears is 
important.  Often times, this is on a rather large log file, so the 
existing "check_log" script would tend to load the machine quite a bit 
since it can only handle one string at a time, plus it really cannot 
handle the "alarm if this_string occurs more than 10 times in 10 
minutes" in the log.

I was just wondering if anyone had written a more robust check_log 
extension, or possibly come up with some logsurfer or swatch integration 
checks.

...or is it time to "roll my own"? :-)

Thanks!

-Emmett
