Roger,
I've posted a short HOWTO for using the ODM to perform error
notification at:
http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/AISTWiki/bin/view/AIS/AixErrorLogCustomization
You could easily adapt this to trigger a passive Nagios service.
Also note that syslogd logs to /dev/null by default on AIX. I strongly
recommend that you configure syslogd and optionally use a central
syslog server.
I normally advocate using a log processing software in conjunction
with Nagios. It isn't practical to configure a service for every
matching log condition in Nagios. Having a single service triggered by
a log processor, resulting in Nagios managing the notifications is
much preferred. I prefer Logmuncher for reporting with syslog-ng as
the backend.
Let me know what you end up doing on AIX. I'd be keen to hear what you
decide on.
Thanks!
