Ah...that's the point. That works with the help of check_log2.pl. I made 
  a servicecheck with that. Because of the nature of check_log2.pl my 
service looks like this:

define service {
name                           some_template
host_name                      some_host
active_checks_enabled          1
passive_checks_enabled         1
parallelize_check              0
obsess_over_service            1
check_freshness                0
notifications_enabled          1
event_handler_enabled          1
flap_detection_enabled         1
process_perf_data              0
retain_status_information      1
retain_nonstatus_information   0
check_period                   some_period
notification_interval          0
notification_period            24x7
notification_options           w,u,c,r
contact_groups                 some_contact
is_volatile                    1
max_check_attempts             1
normal_check_interval          180
retry_check_interval           1
register                       0
}



define service {
use                            some_template
service_description            some_service_name
check_command 
check_by_ssh!some_user!'/some/path/check_log2.pl -l /path/to/logfile.log 
-s /some/path/seek_file_for_check_log2.pl -p some_string_to_look_for'
}

The command is somehow complex, it's a combination of check_by_ssh and 
check_log2.pl.
