I am running 7.1.3 on AIX 5.1.
Here's a script that I use. I got it from the AIX forum at www.tek-tips.com
I use it to send me e-mail when anything is written to errpt.
With a little massaging you should be able to send a custom SNMP trap or run a command with it too.
I run it from /etc/inittab with the following line:
ErrorRpt:23:respawn:/usr/local/Tivoli/scripts/errmon.ksh >/dev/console 2>&1
#! /usr/bin/ksh
#
# $0 = errmon.ksh
#
# Written 11/3/1998 Bill Verzal.
#
# This script will run every [interval] and check the error log
# for new entries. Upon finding them, it will send an email to
# administrators containing a message indicating the change
# in errlog status, as well as the offending lines.
#
if [ "$1" = "-v" ] ; then
set -x
fi
lc="NULL"
tc="$lc"
# lc="last count"
# tc="this count"
#interval=900
interval=300
# Divide interval by 60 to get number of minutes.
me="$0 - Hardware error monitoring"
myname=`hostname`
args="$*"
#mailto="root"
#mailto="alert"
mailto="donald.davis@firstcitizens.com"
true=0
false=1
boj=`date`
echo "$me started.\nThis message goes to $mailto." | mail -s "Errlog monitoring for $myname" $mailto
logger "$0 started"
while [ "$true" != "$false" ] ; do
tc=`errpt -dH,S,U,O | wc -l`
if [ "$lc" = "NULL" ] ; then
lc="$tc"
fi
if [ "$lc" -ne "$tc" ] ; then
foo=`echo "$tc-$lc"|bc`
msg="$foo new errors have been found on $myname"
page_msg="$foo new errors have been found on $myname"
errlogl=`errpt -dH,S,U,O -a`
if [ "$tc" -eq "0" ] ; then
msg="$msg\n Errlog was cleared"
else
logger $msg
msg=" $msg \n Errlog details below:\n $errlogl \n"
echo "$msg" | mail -s "Errlog status change on host $myname" $mailto
fi
fi
lc="$tc"
sleep $interval
done

Subject: [nv-l] [NV, DM] UNIX hardware monitoring
Good day Tivoliers,
We (ESM) are having a discussion with the UNIX team as to what tool(s) to
use for monitoring the hardware on these platforms. We have both SUN and
AIX, but the UNIX team has told us that SNMP is useless for this task. Is
this true? Up to this point, it hasn't been an issues for us, but it's
coming to the forefront so it needs to be addressed.
Any input would be most appreciated. Please respond directly as well as to
the list since I only get the digest. Thanks in advance.
Peace,
