Automatic log files monitoring

Hi all!

is there any tool available which is capable of checking or monitoring my log files, maybe against some (pre)defined rules, and alerts me if some error/failure occurs?

Best regards!

There's logwatch, but from what I know, it doesn't send out alerts on errors. Also, it doesn't work with the systemd journal.

Splunk is nice, but it is non-free. It looks like fluentd (AUR) can do the same stuff, though. I haven't tried fluentd personally, but it looks pretty cool.
