Hi Mark,

You may want to take a look at Splunk.  It does most of the things  
you list below.

You can download a free version from www.splunk.com and give it spin  
(it runs on *nix).   The free version is fully functional and does  
not timeout.

Here's a screencast of the product in action:

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.
