I am using syslog-ng in my logserver - logs are collected in separate
files for each server, all the files are rotated once a week. Is there
any program I can use to send me an email warning end of every day for
[kern.err] and [kern.warn]?
Thanks for any suggestions.

How do you mean? Email you the contents of those files? Maybe a cron
job?

No, emailing the total log content would be too much information. I am
looking for something that could send out an alert. I could write my own
but wondering if there is something already available.
Thanks.

So you want an email each day if there have been any log messages in
those categories? Sounds like a job to do a grep then email would do
what you want.
You could get syslog-ng to send those two categories to a socket
destination and the listening process would make an email of any input,
but that would be even more complicated.
