I have no objection to report hardware errors in system logs too. So
these people can get the information too. I just want to add another
tool oriented interface too. So that some other users (like cluster
administrator) can get their work done better too.

So, use the standard interface for the tool:  syslog.

Although it may be possible to extract some information from syslog and
parse it in a fault tolerant way, we can only use that human oriented
interface for a tool? That sounds like hack.

No, that sounds like the *NIX programming philosophy.

You may have already noticed that most *NIX tools store
and manage data in _text_ form.  That makes it easy to
understand, easy to parse/process, and generally better
in almost every respect.

Other platforms (GNOME, MS-Windows) prefer a binary format
that requires special tools to view/access.  Ugh.
