Any ideas of product or any "how-to" ?

You can easily configure the built-in email notification for Zope, but we found that adding the mailinglogger package makes the emails a lot more managable.
The package adds:
The plone.recipe.zope2instance
buildout recipe supports mailinglogger out of the box; simply define a mailinglogger
variable in your [instance]
part and include the mailinglogger egg:
[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
eggs +=
mailinglogger
# Other options go here
mailinglogger =
<mailing-logger>
level warning
flood-level 100000
smtp-server localhost
from logger@example.com
to error-receiver@example.com
subject [ServerName Error] [%(hostname)s] %(levelname)s - %(line)s
</mailing-logger>
The package has been invaluable for us on larger clusters, where we configure additional variables per instance to be included in the subject; we can see what instance the problem occurred on directly in the subject.
Configuring mailing-logger is documented at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.recipe.zope2instance but I think that email log notification is built into recent Zope2 releases, so you should now add the following to you [instance]
section:
event-log-custom =
<email-notifier>
from server@here.com
to kdie@localhost
subject "anything goes here"
smtp-server 127.0.0.1
</email-notifier>
(example from http://myzope.kedai.com.my/blogs/kedai/44)
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.logbook is handy too.
You need to add an email-notifier to your event-log-custom in buildout.cfg. Unfortunately there's no way to append it to your existing logging configuration but the following will mimic what plone.recipe.zope2instance does for the event log anyway
event-log-custom =
<logfile>
path ${buildout:directory}/var/log/${:_buildout_section_name_}.log
level INFO
</logfile>
<email-notifier>
from server@here.com
to admin@company.com
subject "[Zope alert - ${:_buildout_section_name_}]"
smtp-server localhost
level error
</email-notifier>
