I don't know of a point-and-click app that is similar to Event Viewer, although there might very well be one. However, you can get the same information out of the log files (usually in /var/log). Event Viewer only keeps three logs (System, Security, and Application); Linux keeps quite a few more (such as syslog, mail, smb, etc etc). Some apps might keep their logs elsewhere (for example, Seagate/Veritas's Backup Exec keeps its log in its default directory), but this directory should get you most of the info you need.
