Perfect, thanks. Not sure how I missed the -s option in the man page.

comment Free / Open Source — Log Management appliances/platforms
Thanks for clarifying my spaghetti-verbiage! That's exactly what I'm trying to say — log parsing to get alerts is inserting an almost-always-unnecessary step in the process.

Thanks for the answer; I was hoping to avoid log-parsing but I guess if there's no other way then I'll have to bite the bullet!

comment Monitoring NTBackup / Windows Server Backup using Nagios passive checks
Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm already using it! My problem is that although (after many hours of muddling through) CheckEventLog can WARN or CRIT if there are events matching a set of filters, it's not possible to raise an error if there isn't an expected event — the main problem with our backups is that occasionally backups don't run rather than running with errors. Thanks for the helpful explanation though!
