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.
I use "monit" for that (and other things). Easy to setup, very reliable.
Available from rpmforge:
yum --enable=rpmforge install monit
