respected for log monitoring stuff.

I need to monitor a cluster. I hear very good things about Ganglia,

find out if I'm missing something, or how other ganglia users handle
this. The two components that I don't see are log monitoring and
notification.
Ganglia provides a great deal of information - when I look at it.
However, I want to know when a node goes down, or has a problem. I
want my monitoring system to do something to notify me.
Also, ganglia gathers quite a bit of information, but does not
appear to monitor syslog files. I also need to know when my
software logs a problem. I know - I can have all the nodes forward
syslogs to a single server, and run a logwatch program there.
There's a trade-off, between running the analysis software on the
individual nodes (takes CPU on compute nodes) and sending it to a
server (takes network, and storage at the server).
I've used BigBrother (with larrd and a few other plugins) in the
past for server monitoring. For a moderate to small cluster (with
reliable equipment), it seems to do a decent job. It has easily
configurable notification,and it tracks my log files.
So - does ganglia handle log files and notification? If not, what
are you using for those?
Thanks!
David
