I would think some combination of NRPE (Linux ?) on the remote machine

and a logfile checking plugin should do the trick

Which is why I recommended installing an Agent ( NRPE ) on the remote database server. Then you can put the check_logfiles on the remote machine and call the command through check_nrpe from the nagios server
