md (raid driver) uses syslogd and reports via LOG_KERN, so you can use
whatever log monitoring tool(s) you'd like.

You can also use mdadm in monitor mode.

raidtools is the traditional package for software raid. You should consider
using mdadm instead or in addition to.

"Managing Raid on Linux" (O'Reilly) is a very good reference/guide.
