Have you had a look at check_log?

It does exactly what you are (apparently) asking.

Although, your statement that there is no OK/CRITICAL state is
confusing.  Wouldn't the writing of 'some particular string' to the log
file be the Critical state (and, obviously, the string not being there
be the OK state)?  At least, that's how we all do it.
