as others had pointed out already, for log monitoring you are better of using other tools. notification (which implies thresholding) I'd seen done using groundwork's ganglia plugin to nagios, or scanning the RRDs generated by gmetad from a proprietary monitoring solution. the re-implementation for gmetad in python which is now in development (not complete yet and not part of ganglia 3.1) allows for plugins that could be used to interface with ganglia to add the kind of thresholding and notification that you are interested on, but I don't think anyone is interested in adding that functionality directly as they are better suited alternatives and will conflict with ganglia's role as a metric collection / cluster trend analysis tool.
