    I like SEC (simple event correlator), available from
    http://kodu.neti.ee/~risto/sec/.  Perl script, has a lot of nice
    features for dispatching actions on log entries (including
    suppression).  Takes some effort to set up the rules as you want them,
    tho.
    
    >From the README:
    SEC is a simple event correlation tool that reads lines from a file,
    named pipe or standard input, and matches the lines with regular
    expressions to recognize input events. Events are then correlated
    according to the rules in configuration file, producing output events by
    executing user-specified shell commands.
