Those tools are excellent, but there's also simpler stuff. I've used
logcheck in the past and it did everything I wanted. When I installed
it it came configured with pretty broad rules for what to look for and
report so I had to narrow them considerably, but it was quick and
simple. There are other similar utilities. Doing a
apt-cache search logfile
should give you some of those types of utilities.
