Automatic Event Log notification?

Yes, but they will be flooded with email messages.
What you'll need to do is create an event sink that fires when the logs are written to. It's likely to be fairly convoluted and not particularly useful, given the number of error or warning events that show up in the logs.

You can presumably set it run any time an entry is made, and then parse the entry so that it only sends emails on errors and warnings. But have you looked to see just how many errors and warnings are added to the system logs in a day on the average server? We're not talking dozens per hour, but there are usually enough to make it very annoying, especially as server count goes up.
