Yeah, so that's the answer we were expecting them to try at first.  I
am thinking a simple program/script, which I'm hoping I can configure
syslog to send a duplicate stream to, which will read that stream and
send something into the nexenta event infrastructure when one of these
generic messages is seen.  I haven't confirmed that the syslog on
opensolaris is capable yet, but if it isn't, then a script can just
tail the /var/adm/messages file looking for that message and do the
same.  A tail-based script will have to be restarted probably once a
week.  Cron can be used for that.
