Try this plugin:

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Check_Plugins.21.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=1101

I wrote it to work with any syslog-to-mysql implementation. It sends a 
unique log to the logserver and then checks the database for that log in 
order to test the logserver stack top to bottom. It's quite flexible, 
both tcp and udp, as well as allowing for pretty much any mysql database 
structure. It works well for me but you need to be aware of how your 
logserver works and make sure it's set up accordingly so you can mysql 
access as well for the second part of the test. There is documentation 
on that page.

If you run in to problems, email me. If you think the documentation is 
missing something, I'll add it.

Thanks
