[syslog-ng]GUI Monitoring tool ?

[Russell Adams]

Nagios and BB are better for testing for boolean conditions. (ie: Is
it broke? Yes/No?)

What I use is LogMuncher to watch my syslog files on a central log
host, and it mails me about any messages I need to see. Then I get all
the important messages in my mail client.
