  Empire's SystemEDGE snmp agent does exactly what was asked for --
  monitor files for regular expressions -- and likewise can
  monitor NT events.  In addition to sending up a trap, SystemEDGE
  can execute a corrective action (send email or page, etc.).

  Log file monitoring is just one of the self-management features
  provided by SystemEDGE.  You can get a more info and a free
  eval from Empire's web page.
