Is there a plugin that can handle syslog-ng sent to a MySql database?
I'm guessing no.....but it's worth asking.

	And even further on that subject, check_log2.pl in the contrib
directory does check_log one up by adding a -n flag...
	 
	Usage: check_log2.pl -l <log_file> -s <log_seek_file> -p
<pattern> [-n <negpattern>]
	Usage: check_log2.pl [ -v | --version ]
	Usage: check_log2.pl [ -h | --help ]
	 
	-l, --logfile=<logfile>
	    The log file to be scanned
	-s, --seekfile=<seekfile>
	    The temporary file to store the seek position of the last
scan
	-p, --pattern=<pattern>
	    The regular expression to scan for in the log file
	-n, --negpattern=<negpattern>
	    The regular expression to skip in the log file
	
	From my quick use of the two, I would recommend the
check_log2.pl just because it happens to give you the flexibility to not
only say find me something, but find me something... but if it has
something else in it as well, dont trigger an alarm (the -n)

		Not that it's  obvious but check_log handles that.

		Hi,
		
		is there a plugin for nagios, which could parse certain
entries from syslog or
		any other log files and create alerts?
