[NTLUG:Discuss] syslog parser recommendation?

[Richard Geoffrion]

Does anyone have any suggestions for either syslog replacement or a 
syslog parser?   I'm wanting dang near instant notification of certain 
events (like drive seek errors (BAD EVIL Maxtor SATA drives!))

Much of what I've found on sourceforge seems to be syslog parsers, ways 
to split and store your syslog in MySQL, and 'after-the-fact' browse tools.

Am I using the wrong term for what I want?
