Thanks Kyle, I actually had not come across this solution however from a
brief overview, it seems like it doesn't monitor file access which is what I
also want to monitor similar to the windows Event Log. Products like
tripwire, OSSEC, Samhain, etc only monitor file changes, deletes, renames,
etc. and it seems like FAM falls into that category.

I have looked into the FileSystemWatcher but it is not clear if it monitors
file access as well. I wouldn't mind using that and tying nagios into it
(via log_watch, or other means)

Thanks,

Victor
