Currently, I use logsurfer to monitor a couple of log files (both system
and application).  When certain phrases appear in the logs, I or others
are e-mailed that they've popped up.

For the most part, it works great.  On occasion, though, it has a little
hissy fit and does strange things -- for example, a rule that works 99%
of the time will sometimes send duplicate notifications of a line
appearing in the logs.

I'm wondering a couple of things:
- Are there other programs out there that will do this kind of active
monitoring?  Real-time notification is essential, which makes cron'd
post-processing applications less than ideal.
- If there isn't anything else that's better, anyone have any ideas why
logsurfer may, on very rare occasions, send duplicate notifications?
Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior?

Thanks!

- Ian
