The best solution for this is Nagios Log Server

It does sound like you may want to check out Nagios Log Server since is a very powerful log monitoring tool and it can also be easily integrated with XI.

Within XI, however, you can monitor windows event logs and see the documentation below for details.

If you have other specific types of logs you are trying to monitor, I would check out the exchange for community developed plugins.
https://exchange.nagios.org/

But again, Nagios Log Server is designed specifically to monitor logs so I highly recommend trying it out.

i think a logging system is the best solution for this...but...if you want to use Nagios.

leverage an agent (check_nrpe, ssh, nsclient++, ncpa, wmi, etc.) - then use a plugin that will look at the log file, such as this for linux - https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/man/check_log.html
