Any recommendations for a log sniffer tool that intelligently sends
email notifications based on errors in the sybase errorlog?

By intelligent, I mean the tool would be able to deduplicate messages
over a specified time period and say, "this error has occurred NNNNN
times over the past 15 minutes"

To do this, the tool would have some sort of template based definition
of an error (which could span multiple lines). By template I mean,
some parts of the error text could vary, but error text would still be
considered a duplicate.

It would be best if a tool like this were perl based.

Thanks
