There is a tool called logsurfer+ which can look for threshold numbers
of regex hits in log files within a specified time. So, if you log more
than 20 hits with a certain pattern in, say, 2 minutes, you can trigger
a pager or email alert.
SysAdmin mag had a feature on this a couple of issues ago. The '+'
version of logsurfer seems to have skipped many of the distros -- Debian
doesn't seem to have it. I haven't used it but intend to try it out.
