We like Sandor's errreporter tool. It was in SysAdmin and is a perl script
that monitors you error report. It customizable for things to ignore and
can alert you via mail. You could probably work with it and have it send a
trap or etc. Has proven worth it's weight in gold for us !
It is located @:

Please respond to "IBM
AIX Discussion List"
well there's two ways to approach this...there's a way to muck with the odm
such that the logging to errpt gets mirrored to syslog. The other way
(which i do, since i don't like mucking with the odm) is to run a script
out
of cron which checks for the existance of a file. If it exists, checks the
timestamp on the file and runs the errpt -a from that timestamp to now, and
touches the file. the errpt output is piped through mail to me....though
you could also pipe it through syslog....let me know if you want to see the
(badly written, i'm sure) script i have running on all my machines.

Subject: montoring AIX error log on multiple servers.
Hi, All
does anybody have a better, easier, more effective way of
monitoring the error logs on a bunch of AIX servers besides
logging onto each one of them and running errpt over and
over again. this is tedious and a bit prone to error by omission.
I have my /etc/syslog.conf set up to forward syslog data to
my local workstation where I can get a one-stop shopping
view of things. I'm wondering if there's something similar
I could be doing with error log data.
TIA
