Depends what you mean by system alerts. 

Generally monitoring agents rely on config settings (think Nagios 
alerts).  Those are all items that you need to configure.

You could have syslog/rsyslog send the messages to your application, 
where you parse them out...  aka

echo "*.*               /bin/yourapp" >> /etc/rsyslog.conf
