I know that this doesn't answer your question, but there are three commonly used approaches to monitoring Dell servers that are running Openmanage: 1. Running omreport commands and get the status 2. Probing Opanmanage actively via SNMP 3. Setting up Openmanage to send SNMP traps I've never heard of anyone using logwatch or similar to monitor the hardware health of Dell systems, and judging from the lack of replies to your email it is not a widely used approach. If you don't have a monitoring system in place, I suggest that you take a look at the different Nagios plugins[1] available. They have simple output and the exit code corresponds to the status of the system. You can easily wrap a Nagios plugin and run it periodically from cron and let the system notify you by email if it needs attention.
