Code:
...| grep 'things you are interested in' | logger -p user.err

or
Code:
...| grep -v 'things you are NOT interested in' | logger -p user.err

Or a combination
Code:
...| grep 'things you are interested in' | grep -v 'specific things you are NOT interested in that would normally be included by the first grep' | logger -p user.err

Or just keep it all and have your syslog.conf set to put it all in a different file, then manage it via logadm etc to keep the size under control.

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...] zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1). The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern argument. zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1). EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
