Remember that SMF is being written a lot and quickly. Depending on what you are looking to do, you need to consider any issues a real time monitor might have on SMF Processing.
So, are you looking to monitor ALL records or some? Are there specific SMF Records you want to monitor? Are there specific events you want to monitor? Are you looking for number of SMF records written broken down by Type and Time/Date? Are you looking for alerts based on certain information that is captured by SMF? - If yes, what kind. You question is very wide-ranging with many solutions. Some you have to code, some vendor products can provide. If you can explain what you are trying to do, then the answers can be more directed to your needs.
