Looking for automated log watching program

I am looking for a log watching program similar to Logwatch on Linux which can then be automated, for my Xserves. Does anyone know of such a product?

Thanks,

Lisa

Xserve, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

No idea what Logwatch on Linux does, but perhaps if this uns on Server...

Just pay attention that you should immediately upgrade Snort as the HenWen website says, "The bundled version of Snort will not run in Leopard due to a change in Leopard's iODBC library (and you shouldn't use it in Tiger, either, since it has a security hole)."
