Have you heard of http://www.ossec.net/?
It would do what you like and more. You configure which logs you want
watched and who should be emailed/texted/paged according to various
levels of criticality.
I believe you can have it email you for custom log-events; although it
will notice many common failure messages and other anomalies
automatically - so many I haven't needed to modify much.
I'm not sure if centos provides packages w/ similar functionality or
not.

Hello,
I know centos does not use syslog-ng, but I have installed it at my
university. My intention is if a particular string appears in my
/var/log/messages I would like to get an email alert.
For example, if i see a message "foo" in /var/log/kern I would like to
email myself.
Any idea how to do this? Has anyone done this before?
TIA
