Not answering your precise question, but the general purpose answer for 
how best to review logs for ongoing monitoring is to use a log analysis 
tool, which will sift through the data and present it in summary form, 
while also bringing to your attention any unusual or unexpected entries.

I use logwatch (http://www2.logwatch.org:81/) for this purpose. Set to 
run at low detail daily, which alerts of error conditions, and medium 
detail weekly, which summarizes statistics.
